While you may or may not be on Linux, I think that if you check out this article that some parts of it may be useful for you regardless of your OS.

Resolved by increasing internal VM perm memory ceiling which defaults to 64mb. (This is not a ColdFusion MX requirement. Under load, the perm space can be exhausted by many application servers that load a large number of JARs or classes. Most application server vendors suggest increasing this parameter when encountering an out of memory condition) "-XX:MaxPermSize=128m" ----- And this part: ---- Out-Of-Memory Condition and/or Hotspot Crash � Reproduced one instance � Java VM setting resolved by increasing internal VM working memory ceiling in ColdFusion MX administrator "-XX:MaxPermSize=128m" NEXT: Re-verify, publish, and consider making default value in ColdFusion MX / Updater 2. Sun Bug Parade 4697804 --- So the 1.3.1._03 VM has a perm memory ceiling that defaults to 64MB. Perm memory is a subset of the heap, so even though the heap may be 512, the perm is only 64. This memory is involved in the garbage collection of persistent objects. So after CF has been up a long time, the cieling is reached due to an increasing number of objects being managed there. Sun 1.4.1 (and likely other vendors 1.4.x versions) changed the default perm to 256. So if you either manually increase the perm size using the jvm arg above or change to a higher vm, then you will allieviate the condition of hitting the perm cieling. The preferred method is to stay on 1.3.1 and use the jvm arg because jvm 1.4.x may introduce other secondary effects and break code that was find under 1.3.1. Hope that helps. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?method=subscribe&forumid=4 FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Signup for the Fusion Authority news alert and keep up with the latest news in ColdFusion and related topics. http://www.fusionauthority.com/signup.cfm
