OutOfMemoryError: PermGen space

mkieboom — Tue, 29 May 2012 13:48:12 GMT

Hi there,Within our company we have Alfresco running within VMWare for a few months now however still we have problems with Permgen space error from Java.The error occurs every 2 or 3 days while the virtual machine is definetely powerfull enough to run Alfresco.I can not find any website or blog wit

This happened to me, when I did stopped the service and then restarted the service
When you stop 4.0.d , there are some java instance which is not stopped, this they are going to solve in the next release.
What I do after ,

 /opt/alfresco-4.0.d/alfresco.sh stop‍

I check the process using

 ps aux ‍

and kill the process
and then start the service by

 /opt/alfresco-4.0.d/alfresco.sh start‍

Try out this and let us know the status
Thanks

Hi Marcel,

which OS / which Tomcat (from Alfrsco install, from distribtion) do you use? Why do you export the settings several times and where did you make your changes?

You can see the effective java parameters by

ps aux|grep java‍

MaxPermSize=256m should be OK for a vanilla Alfresco installation. Did you install additional AMPs? You could increase this parameter to 512m and try again.

We don't use the Alfresco installer and it's start/stop-scripts. The (tomcat-)init.d-scripts of the latest ubuntu/debian distribution do a good job, also for restart.

Regards
Heiko

Hi there,

Thank you for both your replies.

>>Hi Joseph,
It also happens after a complete reboot of the ubuntu machine and a fresh startup of Alfresco, so at that moment I think it can not be the case that there are old processes which are still running.

>>Heiko,
It is not the case that I export multiple settings although I changed the settings over a period of time and each of them gives me the same problem. The last line of the exports is the one which is currently set.
I installed 4.0.0.c community edition (Alfresco Community v4.0.0 (3979) schema 5025)

It operates on: Ubuntu 10.04.4 LTS
Server version: Apache Tomcat/6.0.35
Server built:   Nov 28 2011 11:20:06
Server number: 6.0.35.0
OS Name:        Linux
OS Version:     2.6.32-38-generic
Architecture:   amd64
JVM Version:    1.6.0_20-b20
JVM Vendor:     Sun Microsystems Inc.

I use a alfresco startup script I'm not sure if this is still needed ?

And just when I wrote this it happened again:

JVM Vendor: Sun Microsystems Inc.

for me when I am using Java which came along with alfresco installation
for me when I give java -version I get

[alfresco@r12docs ~]$ java -version
java version "1.6.0_22"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_22-b04)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 17.1-b03, mixed mode)‍‍‍‍

Are u getting the same
I assume that the problem is because of two java installation
Before installing alfresco you had Java installed already and after installing Alfresco you have another Java instance
I guess this is the problem, please check and let us know

Re: OutOfMemoryError: PermGen space

mward — Wed, 30 May 2012 13:34:05 GMT

Have you tried using jconsole to inspect the vm? On the VM Summary tab you can check that the PermSize arguments are being passed to the VM.

It is worth checking just to make sure that your settings are taking effect - if for example you were running tomcat as a different user to the one where the JAVA_OPTS are being exported then you won't see the correct settings.

Also, on the Memory tab, change the chart to CMS Perm Gen and see how much is being used.

Re: OutOfMemoryError: PermGen space

mkieboom — Wed, 30 May 2012 14:10:04 GMT

Bisana, I did not install the version you mentioned however I installed the openJDK version


java version "1.6.0_20"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (IcedTea6 1.9.13) (6b20-1.9.13-0ubuntu1~10.04.1)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 19.0-b09, mixed mode)
‍‍‍‍‍

I did not use the jconsole to analyze the Java VM, so I will do that and analyze it.

Thanks a lot!
I will post any results…

Open JDK will have different optional command line options to the sun JVM - especially around the issues of memory management. I suspect you are trying to use sun specific config with a different JVM.

Re: OutOfMemoryError: PermGen space

bisana — Wed, 30 May 2012 15:55:55 GMT

removing your Sun java excetuable may solve this issue
Let us try out this for troubleshooting, may this will work, try out after stopping your existing Alfresco

whereis java ‍

you may get the result contain

/usr/bin/java‍

go to /usr/bin
rename java to javaold
again try giving "java -version", u should not be getting any result, if you are getting any result means, you have "java" executable in your path

Now try installing alfresco, . Please give "Yes" for java installation
After the installation over
start alfreso and see the log files, I think this procedure will work, since your sun java is removed from the path
prior to alfresco installation

Hi,

Open JDK will have different optional command line options to the sun JVM - especially around the issues of memory management. I suspect you are trying to use sun specific config with a different JVM.

I have installend OpenJDK 6 so this could be the problem, however where can I find the differences between Sun Java and OpenJDK6 configs, or what could be wrong with my export settings above?

removing your Sun java excetuable may solve this issue

Sorry but I don't have Sun Java running it is the OpenJDK.
I know this is a bit vague with my post above however this was directly from the server

Kind regards,

Marcel Kieboom

Re: OutOfMemoryError: PermGen space

bisana — Thu, 31 May 2012 12:12:47 GMT

In your previous post, I had seen this

JVM Vendor: Sun Microsystems Inc.

so I assumed you have Sun Java
can you please post the result of

whereis java 
java -version‍‍

Re: OutOfMemoryError: PermGen space

mkieboom — Thu, 31 May 2012 12:22:21 GMT

I understand that sorry for the inconvenience

root@alfresco:~# whereis java
java: /usr/bin/java /usr/share/java /usr/share/man/man1/java.1.gz

root@alfresco:~# java -version

I added here a screenshot of the JConsole VM Summary, does the VM Arguments mean that the settings are not being passed to the VM?

Please do not take this advice seriously,
After taking backup of catalina.sh
can you try out

JAVA_OPTS="$JAVA_OPTS -Xms128m -Xmx1024m -XX:MaxPermSize=128m‍

Take backup, so that you can roll back if not working

Re: OutOfMemoryError: PermGen space

mkieboom — Thu, 31 May 2012 12:59:43 GMT

My alfresco.sh looks currently like this:

ALF_HOME=/opt/alfresco
cd "$ALF_HOME"
APPSERVER="${ALF_HOME}/tomcat"
export CATALINA_HOME="$APPSERVER"
export LOGFILE=/var/log/alfresco/alfresco.log
export JAVA_OPTS='-Xms768m -Xmx1536m -Xss1024k -XX:MaxPermSize=382m -Xcomp -Xbatch -XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC -XX:+CMSIncrementalMode -XX:NewSize=512m -XX:CMSInitiatingOccupancyFraction=80 -server'
export JAVA_OPTS="${JAVA_OPTS} -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.port=9004 -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.ssl=false -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.authenticate=false -Djava.rimi.server.hostname=192.168.1.213"
if [ "$1" = "start" ]; then
sudo -H -u alfresco /bin/sh /opt/alfresco/tomcat/bin/startup.sh
elif [ "$1" = "stop" ]; then
sudo -H -u alfresco /bin/sh /opt/alfresco/tomcat/bin/shutdown.sh
fi‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Where the following line is added as latest for the jmxremote. Really weird however it looks like if Alfresco is currently much faster after I added this rule.

export JAVA_OPTS="${JAVA_OPTS} -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.port=9004 -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.ssl=false -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.authenticate=false -Djava.rimi.server.hostname=192.168.1.213"‍

Re: OutOfMemoryError: PermGen space

mward — Thu, 31 May 2012 14:14:32 GMT

It looks like your environment variables are not being picked up.

One way around this is to move those exports/settings to .profile of the alfresco user and then change

sudo -H -u alfresco /bin/sh /opt/alfresco/tomcat/bin/startup.sh‍

sudo -H -u alfresco /bin/sh -l /opt/alfresco/tomcat/bin/startup.sh‍

that should source the environment from .profile (notice the -l after /bin/sh)

However you choose to modify the environment, check with jconsole that the changes are picked up and everything should work.

BTW -XX:MaxPermSize does seem to be correct for OpenJDK.

Re: OutOfMemoryError: PermGen space

mkieboom — Thu, 31 May 2012 15:09:30 GMT

Hi mward,

It looks like your settings in the .profile are doing the job.
Now I just need to find out which settings are most optimal for operating alfresco.

Thanks a lot!

Any suggestions?

Kind regards,

Marcel

If your Alfresco was built from source, you will need to configure Java correctly to avoid java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: PermGen space.

I have added the configuration to wiki some days ago. Please note that Tomcat6 needs additional requirement as described.

Im using windows, so i have to modify catalina.bat right?
But where i can add the parameters, or in what files?
