ulimit: open files: cannot modify limit: Operation not permitted

Getting this error when starting electrum-server:

$ electrum-server start
Starting server as daemon
/usr/local/bin/electrum-ixc-server: line 64: ulimit: open files: cannot modify limit: Operation not permitted

I'm running electrum-server on a Xen vps server... Might that be the issue? And if so, how to get around that problem?

Fixed by launching as root

I'm experiencing the same problem on my OpenVZ VPS. How to run as root (as it's not supported)?
