why my Jboss site easily dead?

[rosetulip]

I just set up Jboss in my windows XP. It's up and running. But, when I logon by either user/user or admin/admin, then try to go to other areas such as dashboard..etc. It gives me blank page. I open the command, I see the following

17:10:54,937 ERROR [[PortalServletWithPathMapping]] Servlet.service() for servle
t PortalServletWithPathMapping threw exception
java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: PermGen space
17:10:59,765 ERROR [Http11Processor] Error processing request
java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: PermGen space
17:12:03,297 ERROR [[PortalServletWithPathMapping]] Servlet.service() for servle

17:12:30,156 ERROR [[PortalServletWithPathMapping]] Servlet.service() for servle
t PortalServletWithPathMapping threw exception
java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: PermGen space


I don't understand why. I have to restart run.bat to login again again again...

Can you tell me how to fix it?

Hmm, I'm surprised that you are running out of permgen space just by running the portal (I assume that you downloaded the JBossAS + JBoss Portal bundle). But that can be easily remedied - go into the run.bat file and change this line:

set JAVA_OPTS=%JAVA_OPTS% -Xms128m -Xmx512m

to

set JAVA_OPTS=%JAVA_OPTS% -Xms128m -Xmx512m -XX:PermSize=256m -XX:MaxPermSize=256m

By the way, which version of the JBossAS + Portal bundle did you download? And what version of JDK are you using?

[rosetulip]

I download jboss-portal-2.7.0.ALPHA1 (jboss-portal-2.7.0.ALPHA1-bundled.zip)

My JAVA_HOME is
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_04

Should I still need to change to

set JAVA_OPTS=%JAVA_OPTS% -Xms128m -Xmx512m -XX:PermSize=256m -XX:MaxPermSize=256m ?

[peterj]

Yes, make that change.

Also, consider going back to JDK 1.5 - the JBossAS version you are running is not qualified to use 1.6. You will run into problems.

Finally, because you are a beginner (which you mentioned in your other post), you should not be using alpha software. I suggest you go back to JBoss Portal 2.6.5. Unless you like to find and fix problems in code you did not write.

[rosetulip]

Can you direct me which link I should use to download JBoss Portal 2.6.5?

[peterj]

Same location where you downloaded the bundle you currently have:

http://www.jboss.org/jbossportal/download/index.html

And there are links to this from the JBoss web site home page.

[rosetulip]

Do you mean this one"
JBoss Portal + JBoss AS 4.2.2 2.6.5.SP1 Production 2008-05-21 LGPL Notes"?

[peterj]

Yes.
