out of memory, and other errors on ubuntu

Hey all,

I managed to install Alfresco according to the documentation at these urls:

http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Installing_Alfresco_on_Ubuntu_7.10
http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Installing_Alfresco_on_Ubuntu_8.04

I ran the init script, and saw it do the setup. I also see the mysql tables it created. However, I'm getting various errors. Attaching logs, minus (what looks to me like) stack traces:

What's wrong with my setup?

The first error reported is that Open Office does not appear to be installed. Is this correct?

The second error is related to lack of PermGen space which is an issue which is well discussed on this and Sun's forums. Once you are out of PermGen space then there's no point in analysing further errors. Alfresco will happily start without Open Office, but it needs to have sufficient PermGen space.

Yes, Open Office is installed. The package under Ubuntu is "openoffice.org-headless", as required by the Ubuntu installation documentation on the wiki. The error complains about not finding soffice, but it really is there:

$ which soffice
/usr/bin/soffice

As for the PermGen space: yes, I noticed all the documentation on fixing this error. None of the supplied answers worked for me. Here is a list of all locations where I found "JAVA_OPTS", and tried to set it to various values:

/etc/init.d/alfresco:export JAVA_OPTS='-Xms256m -Xmx512m -server -Djava.io.tmpdir=/var/lib/alfresco/tmp'

/opt/alfresco/tomcat/bin/catalina.sh: JAVA_OPTS="$JAVA_OPTS "-Djava.util.logging.manager=org.apache.juli.ClassLoaderLogManager" "-Djava.util.logging.config.file="$CATALINA_BASE/conf/logging.properties"

/opt/alfresco/tomcat/bin/setenv.sh:export JAVA_OPTS='-Xms128m -Xmx512m -server -Djava.io.tmpdir=/var/lib/alfresco/tmp'

/opt/alfresco/alfresco.sh:export JAVA_OPTS='-Xms128m -Xmx512m -XX:MaxPermSize=128m -server'

/opt/alfresco/alfresco.sh:export JAVA_OPTS="${JAVA_OPTS} -XX:CompileCommand=exclude,org/apache/lucene/index/IndexReader\$1,doBody -XX:CompileCommand=exclude,org/alfresco/repo/search/impl/lucene/index/IndexInfo\$Merger,mergeIndexes -XX:CompileCommand=exclude,org/alfresco/repo/search/impl/lucene/index/IndexInfo\$Merger,mergeDeletions"

I tried -Xms512m in all the places mentioned above, but ran out of heap. Honestly, I don't know what these things should optimally be set to. Is there a script which can examine my system and tell me? I lack knowledge regarding Java application administration.

Is the path to Open Office correct? If you at 'alfresco.sh' you will see that it looks for a script 'start_oo.sh'. Assuming that file exists, check that the path to soffice is correct, e.g. /usr/bin/soffice

Hi,

To adjust the Permgen space you need to use the setting:
-XX:MaxPermSize=128m (or whatever works for you)

Perfect! It's working now. Thank you.
