The mySQL error: Errcode: 24 is an indication that the number of files that mySQL is allowed to open has been exceeded. MySQL has a variable called open_files_limit which is usually set to 1024 by default.
To increase the open_files_limit variable you need to edit the /etc/my.cnf file and add the lines:
[mysqld]
open_files_limit = 2500
Make sure you restart mysql once the my.cnf configuration has been saved. Please note: the variable of 2500 is just an example. We would generally view the current number of files and add 1000 to come up with a a safe variable for open_files_limit.
The open_files_limit directly affects how much server memory is used, so please be conservative when setting this variable.
