PemGerm error and now Context initialization failed

[anil]

hi All,

First i was working on the WCM feature of alfesco. I am new to this feature. I was going through the Product-Evaluation-Guide.pdf and everything worked well.
I was able to preview the sample website. Now I was trying to create new web content in ress Release . I created few ones and they all worked ,suddenly the alfresco hanged (not hanged exactly but nothing was working in the view)and i was unable to access any of the folder or file . The page was   
not refreshing also.
It was taking a long time

so I checked the catalina.out and it showed me the error of

java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: PermGen space

Later when i tried to restart the alfresco the error continued but

When I reboot The following error started comming



ERROR [web.context.ContextLoader] Context initialization failed

Please  Help


Thanks

[spillai]

can u please post the run.bat code

[anil]

Actually i am working in  the linux environment.
And anyways i solved the problem
It got solved by increasing the pemgerm size .
Thanks for ur response

[mikel_asla1]

Hi there , sorry about opening a closed issue but I think that I'm having  the same problem
and I cannot figure out what PemGrem is.

Could anyone help me ?

[pmonks]

The Permanent Generation ("PermGen") is one of the memory areas inside a Java Virtual Machine (if you're interested / insomniac there's a lot more detail at http://java.sun.com/j2se/reference/whitepapers/memorymanagement_whitepaper.pdf).

From an Alfresco perspective, all you need to know is that the default Alfresco startup scripts leave the PermGen at its default size of 64MB, and Alfresco comes quite close to using all of that space.  If you install a lot of custom code or configure other webapps within the same Tomcat instance as Alfresco, it's easy to go beyond 64MB and see "java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: PermGen space" errors as a result.

The solution is to modify the startup scripts (alfresco.bat on Windows, alfresco.sh on MacOSX, Solaris, Linux etc.) to tell the JVM to allocate a larger PermGen.  For Sun JVMs, this is accomplished by adding the "-XXermSize=##m" startup parameter to the "JAVA_OPTS" setting in the Alfresco startup scripts (where ## is the size of the PermGen in megabytes eg. "-XXermSize=128m").

Cheers,
Peter

Thanks a lot for being so quick .
No me server runs ok.
I'm dealing with the WCM stuff now so we'll probably met son again.

Thank you again.
