If you are trying to open the files in MySQL, the system gets failed and hangs up so that it tries to stop the process of MySQL.

Let us see the solution and steps:

Along with the installation of MariaDB:

Step 1: Use SSH, and start connecting to the server. Use the below script, to make changes in the script of MariaDB:

Code:
# systemctl edit mariadb
Step 2: Now, set the limit of open files in service of MariaDB:

Code:
[Service]
LimitNOFILE=8192
Step 3: Do restart the service of MariaDB:

Code:
# systemctl restart mariadb
Step 4: Just verify the changes you made:

Code:
# egrep “open files” /proc/$(cat `pleskdb -Ne “show variables like ‘pid_file'” | awk ‘{print $2}’`)/limits
Max open files 8192 8192 files
Along with the installation of MySQL:

Step 1:
Use SSH, to get connected with the server. To make changes in the script of MySQL:

Code:
# systemctl edit mysql
Step 2: In MySQL service, start setting up the limitation of open files:

Code:
[Service]
LimitNOFILE=8192
Step 3: Do restart of MySQL service:

Code:
# systemctl restart mysql
Step 4: Just verify the changes you made:

Code:
# egrep “open files” /proc/$(cat `pleskdb -Ne “show variables like ‘pid_file'” | awk ‘{print $2}’`)/limits
Max open files 8192 8192 files
Method 3:

Step 1:
Start editing the /etc/init.d/mysqld. At the top, just check the statement #!/bin/sh and then add the below mentioned

Code:
ulimit -HSn 1024
ulimit -HSn 32768
ulimit -HSn 1024000
If you find the value is higher than the limit, just try to delete or try minimize the value.

Step 2: Go to /etc/my.cnf. Below the section of [mysqld], check whether there is an open file limit value. If yes, increase the value by below-mentioned command:

Code:
open_files_limit=32768
Once done, do mysqld restart!

Step 3: Check the value is increased in the open file limit value just running out the query of SQL:

‘open%’; Just cross-check with the query.
