I've been trying to install alfresco using the instructions at http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Installing_Alfresco_on_Ubuntu_7.10#Install_Alfresco_Tomcat_bundle on my Ubuntu system, but when I run /etc/init.d/alfresco start, I get the following error, here is catalina.log. I've already set -Xms1024m -

My problem is the same. I just losing hopes to get a solution. The system is a fresh Ubuntu 8.04 with a fresh Alfresco alfresco-community-tomcat-2.9.0B.tar.gz. I solve all the other problem but still block on this heap size issue. I increase it (in the init.d/alfresco script) but there is no success.
If any genius have the solution :mrgreen:

Try adding -Xss64k i.e.

export JAVA_OPTS='-Xms1024m -Xmx1024m Xss64k -server'

Cheers.
