Problem Launching Alfresco

[anirelles]

Hi,

I struggled quite a lot to succeed to compile Alfresco. I finally succeed to generate alfresco.war but when I deploy it into
tomcat I have this error :

…

23:57:19,100 User:System INFO  [service.descriptor.DescriptorService] Alfresco JVM - v1.6.0_06-b02; maximum heap size 448.000MB
23:57:19,100 User:System WARN  [service.descriptor.DescriptorService] Alfresco JVM - WARNING - maximum heap size 448.000MB is less than recommended 512MB

…

‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Where can I configure this maximum heap size please?

Thank you

I solved my problem and it is working 

I had to modify catalina.sh and replace this line :

JAVA_OPTS="$JAVA_OPTS -Djava.util.logging.manager=org.apache.juli.ClassLoaderLogManager"
‍‍‍

with this line :

JAVA_OPTS="$JAVA_OPTS -Xms256m -Xmx1024m -XX:MaxPermSize=256m -Djava.util.logging.manager=org.apache.juli.ClassLoaderLogManager"

Hi,
Since you're running 1.6, I'd recommend that you take a read of the Wiki page on JVM tuning.  Having a decent NewSize helps absorbe all those temporary objects that are created and thrown away by the bucket load.
