[GeoNetwork-users] Interface has half disappeared: where to start?

G'Day GN community,

Our tomcat logs were suddenly getting big due to too many open files:

Sep 1, 2012 5:45:25 PM org.apache.tomcat.util.net.JIoEndpoint$Acceptor run SEVERE: Socket accept failed java.net.SocketException: Too many open files

We set the max number larger and restarted tomcat.

max memory size (kbytes, -m) unlimited
open files (-n) 4096

The GN application, which had been functioning normally before restart, came back up. But it renders only a portion of the interface...as if most of the strings were simply not being parsed.

The site still functions (searches run and return results) but the interface itself is stuffed:
http://74.50.62.108:8080/geonetwork/srv/en/main.home

Can anyone suggest where to start looking for the culprit?

I'm not even sure how to engage with the tomcat logfiles: excess of 1Gb for the past 12 hrs and all I've got is a text editor (bleah!)

Many thanks in advance for any pointers...

JB

m'eh! Sorry for the distress call: problem turned out to be a small piece of rogue html markup that got added to strings.xml

Our service is back up and running again on this fine piece of opensource engineering!

Kind regards,

JB
