I am running Mac OS X 10.9.4, including the builtin apache2 webserver with PHP 5.5.14 from brew (packages: php55, php55-intl, php55-pdo-pgsql, php55-xdebug).
When running this setup it works quite well. However, after some time, I will run on 403 errors for every request. I have looked up the apache error log, and found something like the following:

It looks to me like the file cannot be read anymore, and it returns the 403 somehow. I already found out about certain limits, but launchctl returns I have an unlimited hard limit on open files:
~ $ launchctl limit
cpu unlimited unlimited
filesize unlimited unlimited
data unlimited unlimited
stack 8388608 67104768
core 0 unlimited
rss unlimited unlimited
memlock unlimited unlimited
maxproc 709 1064
maxfiles 256 unlimited
I have also already tried to set the maxfiles to 4096 with the command launchctl limit maxfiles 4096 16384
, but the issue still returns after some time. Any idea what else I can check?
UPDATE:
When running the lsof -c httpd
command as suggested by Gordon Davisson, I can see that there are loads of entries like the following:
httpd 1361 _www 15u IPv4 0xb306b48659f63853 0t0 TCP localhost:50603->localhost:cslistener (CLOSED)
I can say that the application I use is using websockets, and is also using a fallback when websockets are not available or the counterpart is not running on the server. What confuses me is the (CLOSED)
-part, why is it still listed?
UPDATE:
After some time I looked up the cslistener port, which actually is 9000, which again is which port xdebug is listening for remote debugging. So I guess I have got some wrong configuration there, or it is a bug in xdebug (I am using XDebug 2.2.5, installed by brew)
Best Answer
Are you using PHPStorm with XDEBUG on Mac?
I have the same problem. I found an open bug filed with XDEBUG here:
http://bugs.xdebug.org/view.php?id=1070
Update
This bug has now been fixed:
I believe this is the commit: https://github.com/xdebug/xdebug/commit/6efc6588efc277d648a78b69c11c721992c996f9
Make sure you are using an updated version with this patch.
