CreateJavaVM Failed when setting PermSize
Hello all,
I'm trying to override the default PermSize and MaxPermSize values in the
JVM due to some OutOfMemory errors we were getting recently, but I don't
appear to be able to set this in the Tomcat Service Properties (on Windows).
I have tried adding:
-XX:PermSize=128m
-XX:MaxPermSize=160m
to the "Java options" section in the "Java" tab of the Tomcat Service
configuration dialog, but this prevents the service from starting, simply
listing:
[409 javajni.c] [error] CreateJavaVM Failed
[930 prunsrv.c] [error] Failed initializing java
C:\tomcat-5.5.12\bin\bootstrap.jar
[1179 prunsrv.c] [error] ServiceStart returned 2
In the service log.
I have also tried adding:
-Dcatalina.opts=-XX:PermSize=128m -XX:MaxPermSize=160m
(I saw this on another post somewhere). This appears to do nothing as the
MemoryPoolMXBean for the Perm Gen memory pool still reports a max size of
64m.
I have also tried setting an environment variable under JAVA_OPTS for the
same config (I saw this mentioned somewhere too); but again nothing.
Anyone know how I can configure the JVM under a Windows (service)
installation of Tomcat to change the Initial/Max PermSize?
Seems to me the first option should work but crashes the JVM.
I am using:
jdk1.5.0_04
tomcat-5.5.12
Windows XP SP2
Thanks.

Wow... I'm sure I tried that originally and got the same problem... however
this time it worked!
Thanks.
FYI for anyone else, this is what I have in my Tomcat Service config:
-Dcatalina.home=C:\tomcat-5.5.12
-Dcatalina.base=C:\tomcat-5.5.12
-Djava.endorsed.dirs=C:\tomcat-5.5.12\common\endorsed
-Djava.io.tmpdir=C:\tomcat-5.5.12\temp
-Djava.util.logging.manager=org.apache.juli.ClassLoaderLogManager
-Djava.util.logging.config.file=C:\tomcat-5.5.12\conf\logging.properties
-XX:PermSize=128m
-XX:MaxPermSize=256m
With:
Initial memory pool: 128
Maximum memory pool: 512
Obviously my tomcat instance is installed at C:\tomcat-5.5.12

I think the PermSize can be only a 2 to the power of n, and 160M isn't
a valid value then.
Try to set it to 256M.
