Problem starting icescrum for the first time

[Pgaze]

Hello,

I’m trying to install icescrum and i couldn’t achieve to start it. Here is my config
-Ubuntu 14.04
-Tomcat 6 in /opt/Tomcat/tomcat6 dir
-Java 7
-icescrumR6_13.8.war

I followed the instructions of the installations guide for Tomcat configuration, i have th efollowing line in setenv.sh
export CATALINA_OPTS="$CATALINA_OPTS -Xms64m -Dicescrum.log.dir=/home/maxime/tomcat6 -Duser.timezone=UTC -Dicescrum_config_location=/home/maxime/tomcat6/config.groovy -Xmx512m"

When i launch startup.sh i got the following log in catalina.out

--------------------------------------------------------
*** No external configuration file defined (icescrum_config_location). ***
(*) grails.config.locations = []

Exception in thread "Timer-0" 
Exception: java.lang.OutOfMemoryError thrown from the UncaughtExceptionHandler in thread "Timer-0"
Exception in thread "[Pool-Cleaner]:Tomcat Connection Pool[1-290184551]" 
Exception: java.lang.OutOfMemoryError thrown from the UncaughtExceptionHandler in thread "[Pool-Cleaner]:Tomcat Connection Pool[1-290184551]"

and when i try to access localhost:{portNumber}/, the browser is loading but without displaying anything.
I let it run for at least 15min.

Any idea on how to prevent this OutOfMemoryException which i guess is the source of the problem

Hello,

Out of memory errors usually come from JVM misconfigurations regarding memory.

Here, you have defined a correct Heap Space (-Xmx512m) but you forgot the PermGen space:
-XX:MaxPermSize=256m

See https://www.icescrum.com/documentation/install-guide/#application-server

It works fine! Thanks

Glad to know that 🙂
