Thanks Dieter, To change number of open files permanently on Centos you can edit the nofile (number of files setting) setting in /etc/security/limits.conf
* - nofile 8192 for example this sets the number of open files to 8192 for all (domains), enforced for both hard and soft limits. for more info: man limits.conf I logged out and back in to make the setting take on my machine.
