The installed Alfresco on a windows 2003 server and if I start the server from the start menu everything comes up fine and I can use Alfresco. 

However, when I try to setup Alfresco to run as a windows service I receive the Out of Memory PermGen space error.  I have increased the maxpemsize to 256M but I still receive the error.

gdent,

I got the same error and solve it by doing the following:

Using Tomcat5w.exe found in <Alfresco>\tomcat\bin, in "Java", I added the following in "Java Option": -XX:MaxPermSize=128m (in addition to the 4 line I already have: -Dcatalina.base=i:\alfresco\tomcat; -Dcatalina.home=i:\alfresco\tomcat; -Djava.endorsed.dirs=i:\alfresco\tomcat\common\endorsed; -Djava.io.tmpdir=i:\alfresco\tomcat\temp)

In my case, I put the "Initial memory pool" to 128 MB, the "Maximum memory pool" to 550MB (to be higher than 512 MB) and the "Thread stack size" to 96kb

After having done this, I have no more difference between starting from the start menu or as a service.

Hoping this help
