Thanks for all the feeback guys.

I'm removed the line:
export JAVA_OPTS="-server -Xms4096m -Xmx8192m"

which was added recently along with the upgrade to JDK 1.6.0_13.

It is a 64bit JDK.

Yeah, I have no idea what the max numbers the JDK can take. We probably should put SOMETHING in JAVA_OPTS, but just want to be sure this is the problem and not the new JDK. So we'll run for a couple days and see if things work ok again.

We've also added the -server flag, as can be seen in the line above. I don't know exactly what this does, but saw it recommended on some sites and sounded right for our application. :)

Please keep an eye out on the site and if anyone still needs to reset tomcat to fix anything, please post so we know.

Regarding the log entry:

java.io.FileNotFoundException: /opt/tomcat/webapps/gobible/WEB-INF/classes/trans_null.properties (Permission denied)

This is for our translation taglib we've written, which allows our site to be translated into other languages, like:

http://crosswire.org/study/?lang=el
http://crosswire.org/study/?lang=zh_CN
http://crosswire.org/study/?lang=fa

etc.

It allows a translator to login and translate any of our pages, so tomcat needs write access to these files to save the data from the translator. trans_null is kindof a byproduct file when no locale is specified. I suppose entries in here would override the default display text, but is probably a bug in our taglib and should be fixed. But regardless, it is a real permissions problem for the other trans_* files in this folder if those sites want translation support turned on (gobible in this case)

We haven't really taken advantage of this feature yet. Peter (refdoc) has added a nice language picker on his updates to swordweb at:

http://crosswire.org/~refdoc/swordweb/webapp/

and hopefully we can take advantage of this for our main crosswire and sword pages. Maybe little flags and stuff :) Anyone know of a free use set of little flag icons? :)

Thanks again for the feedback on tomcat. Hopefully we'll nail down the exact problem. If things run smoothly now, we'll try adding back things one at a time till we see what breaks.

        -Troy.

Since we got a new server there had been no tomcat problem until last
few days. Then the problem suddenly happened several times in a row.

As we have not changed much of the applications, nor (I do suspect) has
the load not gone up, I think the problem must lie with whatever you did
to tomcat itself recently i the update.

I say this obviously with the privilege of the ignorant.
