httperf: connection failed with unexpected error 105

Answer 1

The numeric error code is an errno value. When errno is 105 (ENOBUFS) it means that there's no buffer space available. Ie, buy more RAM or reduce the maximum size of the buffers for TCP sockets.

To find out what the error code meant, I did:

grep 105 /usr/include/*/*errno*

which gave me:

/usr/include/asm-generic/errno.h:#define    ENOBUFS  105 /* No buffer space available */

Also wikipedia might have more details if you look for ENOBUFS.
