Increasing Tomcat Memory

[xvihost]

I am trying to increase Tomcat's memory usage above 64M. I have placed -Xms128M and -Xmx256M into /var/cpanel/tomcat.options as mentioned here:

http://www.cpanel.net/conference/08/files/Tomcat.pdf

Which does seem to add those options to the command line, but the Tomcat manager still reports 64M as the max.

Is this a ulimit issue pertaining to the "tomcat" user?

Please advise.

Peace,
Tom

Tom,
Just to clear out all the grounds, did you restart Tomcat after editing the configuration file?

Dave,

Yes Here is the currently running process:

jsvc.exec -user tomcat -cp ./bootstrap.jar -Djava.endorsed.dirs=../common/endorsed -outfile ../logs/catalina.out -errfile ../logs/catalina.err -verbose org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap -security -Xms128M -Xmx256M

Here is what the Tomcat manager is reporting:

JVM

Free memory: 1.57 MB Total memory: 6.54 MB Max memory: 63.56 MB

Peace,
Tom

Interesting. Did you add these 1 per line? Are you seeing the following output when running /scripts/restartsrv_tomcat:

Adding in customTomcat options(s): -Xms128M
Adding in customTomcat options(s): -Xmx256M

If so, please submit a support ticket (see the link in my signature).

Dave,

Yes I ran it and yes I added them one per line. This was the result:

Could not opendir /usr/local/jakarta/tomcat/lib: No such file or directory
Could not opendir /usr/local/jakarta/tomcat/lib: No such file or directory
Adding in custom Tomcat option(s): -Xms128M
Adding in custom Tomcat option(s): -Xmx256M

I will submit a support ticket also.

Thanks,
Tom
