OutOfMemory Error using KonaKart Enterprise 5.1.0.0.5688

[michaelwechner]

Hi

I am running KonaKart Enterprise 5.1.0.0.5688 on Mac OS X with PostgreSQL 8.4.
As soon as I login to konakartadmin the server will stop running throwing an OutOfMemory Exception

SEVERE: Error processing request
java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: PermGen space

whereas the accessing the frontend "konakart" does not cause any trouble.

Any idea what might be wrong? Is it possible that "birt" does something which it shouldn't?

Thanks

I would start by giving your tomcat more PermGen space

[michaelwechner]

I guess you mean within

bin/startkonakart.sh

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

whereas it strikes me that KonaKart 4 worked without a problem within the same environment and hence I would be curious what has changed that KonaKart5 seems to use more PermGen space than version 4?

Also interesting might be

I have increased it to

-XX:MaxPermSize=512m

and it seems to work fine now.

Still, I think it is worth understanding why version 5 behaves differently than version 4.

Any pointers are very welcome.

Thanks

Michael
