PermGen Space

[tmek]

I was testing the robustness of Alfresco and I got the same error several times. I got a "javax.servlet.ServletException: PermGen space". In alfresco.sh, I did increase Xmx to 1024m .  Is there a reason why I get this error? Could it be a memory leak?

Hello, PermGen space is not modified using the Xmx option.
You can change the allocated PermGen space using the option:

-XX:PermSize=128m
‍‍

or whatever size you decide (or need based on your usage).

Hope this helps,

Steve

Thanks for the response Kevin. Now, I am just trying to figure out why I got this error so please bear with me. Under /usr/local/alfresco/tomcat/webapps I copied all the contents in alfresco to a directory alfresco1.4 and used the url 
http://../alfresco1.4.  I am wondering if having a copy of alfresco and alfresco is causing this PermSize error?

Thanks
