WAR deployment problems

[igor_shaldev]

hello,

I followed this wiki to build alfresco from source http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Alfresco_SVN_Development_Environment. I installed all the necessary programs, and set all the needed environment variables. Then I run the mysql commands, and downloaded the source from http://svn.alfresco.com/repos/alfresco-open-mirror/alfresco. Next I run the command ant build-tomcat incremental-tomcat. alfresco.war was deployed to my Apache tomcat server. When I started the server there was several errors during the deployment of the war :

I tried changing ImageMagick's convert.exe file to imconvert.exe but no luck because the command calling imagemagic convert.exe is all wrong: .\ImageMagick\bin\convert

Thanks in advance

The ImageMagick error can be safely ignored, although certain transformations won't be available.  Fixing it should involve little more than adding the directory containing the "convert.exe" binary to the path used by Tomcat.

The heap error is more serious and will be preventing Alfresco from starting.  To increase the size of the JVM's permanent generation, add the following JVM parameter to your Tomcat startup script:

-XX:PermSize=128m ‍

I also followed the steps from http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Development_Environment and I have the same exceptions.
I am using tomcat 5.5.27 and jdk 1.5.0_12.

Where should I put -XXermSize=128m ? I tried to change JAVA_OPTS in catalina.bat by adding this:

[size=85] set JAVA_OPTS=%JAVA_OPTS% [/size][size=150] -XXermSize=128m [/size][size=85] -Djava.util.logging.manager ….[/size]
and
[size=85] set JAVA_OPTS=%JAVA_OPTS% [/size] [size=150]-Xmx512m -Xms256m[/size] [size=85] -Djava.util.logging.manager ….[/size]
and
other combinations and the same result.

Before running the test with each option I removed alf_data and the database.

Can anyone help? Thank you.

[abhishek385]

set JAVA_OPTS to -Xms1024m -Xmx1024m -XX:MaxPermSize=128m

then drop and recreate the alfresco database. also delete the alf_data folder from the bin of tomcat redeploy alfresco.

Thank you abhishek385. That worked just perfect!

I really appreciate your acknowledgement…Incase you find my post helpfl do give me some marks for this.

Thanks a lot
