Out of memory error + tomcat 6

Hi All,

I am new to Liferay. I apologize if the topic repeated.

I am using: JDK6, Eclipse 3.4, Tomcat 6, RAM of 2GB.

I am getting following error when I start tomcat using Eclipse 3.4 IDE:

SEVERE: Servlet.service() for servlet Friendly URL Servlet – Public threw exception
java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space at java.lang.String.valueOf(String.java:2918) at java.lang.Character.toString(Character.java:2149) at com.yahoo.platform.yui.compressor.JavaScriptCompressor.<clinit>(JavaScriptCompressor.java:69) at com.liferay.portal.util.MinifierUtil._minifyJavaScript(MinifierUtil.java:80) at com.liferay.portal.util.MinifierUtil.minifyJavaScript(MinifierUtil.java:52) at com.liferay.portal.servlet.filters.strip.StripFilter.strip(StripFilter.java:251) at com.liferay.portal.servlet.filters.strip.StripFilter.processFilter(StripFilter.java:159) at com.liferay.portal.kernel.servlet.BaseFilter.doFilter(BaseFilter.java:91)

I did following to resolve the above error:

In Environment variables – set JAVA_OPTS = -Xms512m -Xmx1024m

In tomcat..catalina.bat…updated this file as:

set JAVA_OPTS = ..... -Xms512m -Xmx1024m

However above settings were of no help for me…

Let me know if any of you gone through this…

Thanks

Hi,

Could you try to decrease the minimun free memory available changing the Xms512m parameter to Xms64m ?

Cheers.

Hi Beltran,

Thanks for the quick reply…

I changed JAVA_OPTS = Xms64m -Xmx1024m

Still no luck…Now strangely error console throws a different error than before..it looks like -

Hi,

In Windows you should to reinstall the Tomcat service. Have you reinstalled the service? Take a look this post: http://bitnami.org/forums/forums/4/topics/1041

Cheers.

Hi,

As the topic you suggest…I couldnt find apache-tomcat/scripts/serviceinstall.bat file in the bundled tomcat of liferay.

In fact, there is no folder named scripts in tomcat version of liferay.

Thanks

Mmm it is strange. Are you using the BitNami Liferay Stack? It should be at C:\Program Files\BitNami Liferay Stack\apache-tomcat\scripts\serviceinstall.bat.
