Hi,
I recently download an deploy the jump box for Alfresco 1.7.1 on an vmware Esxi 5.
The deployment worke good and I configure ip in the jumpbox console (I didn't touche anything else). I access then to the html setup page, fill the required field and click configure the application. The application give me the following error :
/jumpbox/application_portal/privileged_scripts/ubuntu/lib/jbutils.rb:31:in `service': couldn't run init script: tomcat6 start (RuntimeError) from /jumpbox/application_portal/privileged_scripts/ubuntu/app.rb:93:in `start_alfresco' from /jumpbox/application_portal/privileged_scripts/ubuntu/app.rb:161:in `setup' from /jumpbox/application_portal/privileged_scripts/ubuntu/lib/utils.rb:176:in `send' from /jumpbox/application_portal/privileged_scripts/ubuntu/lib/utils.rb:176:in `execute_method' from /jumpbox/application_portal/privileged_scripts/ubuntu/app.rb:166
Any body have already experienced this problem or know how to solve it ?
Thanks for your help
Check your memory
I think this might happen if the virtual machine doesn't have enough RAM allocated to it. Alfresco is a very large application and it's probably best to give the virtual machine about 1.2GB of RAM.
I was too many memory - problem still continue
I found that the error came if i allocate more than 3 GB of Ram.
If i allocate 3GB or less the error doesn't happen. This is really annoying because if I allocate only 3 GB of ram the preview functionality of alfresco doesn't work because a java process try to do a clone() which require large amount of memory.
If i ran the setup of the jump box, shutdown it, increase the memory (above 3 GB) and restart it tomcat make an error and doesn't start.
Here the error show by tomcat
Error occurred during initialization of VM
Could not reserve enough space for object heap
Could not create the Java virtual machine.
Anybody have a solution in order that I can allocate more than 3 GB ?
Thanks
