I want to permanently set the core file size to unlimited. Reading about it, the suggestion is to modify the /etc/security/limits.conf. I have done so with the following line:

  • soft core 10000 root hard core 10000

I reboot after the change and I issue ulimit -a and core is still set to 0. Can not understand why the setting is not working. What can be overwriting it?

Try this:

*               soft    nofile          10000
*               hard    nofile          10000

and add this line to .profile file, f.e. for root in /root/.profile

ulimit -c 10000

or for all users in /etc/profile.

Remember: for remote users: /etc/pam.d/sshd and for su /etc/pam.d/su

session    required     /lib/security/pam_limits.so

  • A typo I'm sure, but he wants core file size limit changed (core), whereas you are changing the number of open files limit (nofile) in your suggestion for limits.conf – UpTheCreek Dec 06 '13 at 10:54

If you are doing docker-compose up and have issue

Starting Apache httpd web server: apache2/usr/sbin/apache2ctl: 99: ulimit: error setting limit (Operation not permitted)

Please restart your docker service as sudo service docker restart
