Nofiles & nproc change on RHEL not taking effect

I am installing a statistical applicaton and for its web components it is a listed requirement that I have soft limits of files (20480) and no of processes (soft t o 10240). I am on RHEL 6.1.

As root I made the following changes in /etc/security/limits.conf

Code:

* soft nproc 10240
* hard nproc 35000
* soft nofile 20480
* hard nofile 60000

However my deployment keeps failing. On checking I see these values still

Code:

ulimit -a
core file size           (blocks, -c) 0
data seg size            (kbytes, -d) unlimited
scheduling priority      (-e) 0 
file size                (blocks, -f) unlimited 
pending signals          (-i) 62538
max locked memory        (kbytes, -l) 64
max memory size          (kbytes, -m) unlimited
open files               (-n) 20480   
pipe size                (512 bytes, -p) 8
POSIX message queues     (bytes, -q) 819200
real-time priority       (-r) 0     
stack size               (kbytes, -s) 10240
cpu time                 (seconds, -t) unlimited
max user processes       (-u) 1024            #<---------this one wont chg
virtual memory           (kbytes, -v) unlimited 
file locks               (-x) unlimited

I log out, restart deployment from scratch but so far no good. I am not an admin so I am sure I am missing something.

I searched this forum but did not find much under nproc keyword search.

Thank you in advance,
