DHIS memory issues on Ubuntu

Support - Assistance technique
1

Hi all,

I am trying to deploy dhis.war on Ubuntu vm. It has 4GB of memory.

Tomcat starts successfully and shows ‘server startup in 233821 ms’.

This is the first time I m accessing the deployed web app (i.e. no configuration done yet) and it throws following exception.

http://pastebin.com/j2yWY3dH

I have followed this but no luck.

https://wiki.openmrs.org/display/docs/Troubleshooting+Memory+Errors

In my endeavors to troubleshoot tomcat memory issues i performed the following in Ubuntu 10.04:

sudo gedit /etc/init.d/tomcat6

Changed (~line 81):

if [ -z “$JAVA_OPTS” ]; then

JAVA_OPTS=“-Djava.awt.headless=true -Xmx128M”
fi

To:

if [ -z “$JAVA_OPTS” ]; then

JAVA_OPTS="-Djava.awt.headless=true -Xmx1024M -Xms1024M*********-XX:PermSize=256m -XX:MaxPermSize=256m -XX:NewSize=128m******"***

fi

Plz help me understanding the missing steps…

Thanks,

Maimoona

Hello Maimoona
Its better you create a setenv.sh file in the tomcat bin folder and set the memory size.

For more details check http://www.dhis2.org/doc/snapshot/en/implementer/html/ch08s02.html#d5e513 on the implementer’s documentation.

Cheers

Hi Maimoona, since you only have 4GB RAM, you cannot reserve all of it for the JVM, which is what you are doing here:
-Xms4000m

I suggest you reduce this to 2 GB or something like that

Hi,

if you are on windows using binary tomcat try this java_opts value:

-Xmx768M -Xms512M -XX:PermSize=256m -XX:MaxPermSize=256m

Thanks alot team. Knut`s suggestion worked. I was able to run dhis by assigning 1MB of memory to JVM.
