In order to make this change permanent we need to edit /etc/sysctl.conf and add following lines
fs.file-max = 65536

run the following command
# /sbin/sysctl -w fs.file-max=65536

As a general rules whenever you met with an error while restarting apache in a plesk server, please try to rebuild apache configuration files by running
# /usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/websrvmng -a -v

Fatal error: Class 'PMA_Message' not found in /usr/local/cpanel/base/3rdparty/phpMyAdmin/lib or phpMyAdmin Fatal: PMA_Message::rawError line 233 cp

You may also get asked for a username/password and when you put in the cPanel account information you get the Fatal error.

From the looks of it the cPanel accounts user has lost connection to the MySQL or be it that it does not know what the username/password is for the account to access MySQL. There is a simple fix.

Log into WHM
SQL Services
Change MySQL DB Owner Password
Select the User from the drop down list
Either put in the cPanel User’s password or Generate a new one
Change Password.
Done.

Log back in as the cPanel User and you should have access via phpMyAdmin again.
