[Bioperl-l] Remote Blast error - 500 Too many open files

Tue Nov 9 12:25:13 EST 2004

I tried a remote blastx search today around 1:00pm and got this error
message after a long wait. Also it seemed that the NCBI web interface was
taking too long for BLAST searches.

MSG: <HTML>
<HEAD><TITLE>An Error Occurred</TITLE></HEAD>
<BODY>
<H1>An Error Occurred</H1>
500 Cannot write to '/tmp/hLFqVvHO2D': Too many open files
</BODY>
</HTML>

Is this a remote server error or am I doing something wrong? Anyone else
got this error?

Thanks,
Affan
