Hi Andrea, Thanks for the suggestion and info. Luckily, I believe I discovered the root of my issue this morning. I had a configuration issue on my virtual machine in my test bed (I had erroneously placed low caps on my processor and memory allocations to my VM). Now that I've resolved that, it seems to be running fine so far, so we'll see if my luck holds. Regardless, per your suggestion, I'll double-check my config settings for Tomcat and Java and make sure those are set correctly.
Thanks again.

Tomcat on Ubuntu seems to have a nasty habit of ignoring configuration settings unless you put them into exactly the right spot. Maybe you're running into the same problem. Assuming you're using the tomcat6 package (not tomcat6-user), try setting JAVA_OPTS in /etc/default/tomcat6. At the same time you may also want to double-check that your choice of JDK isn't being overridden in this file (it is set to openjdk by default -- https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSPACE/Installing+DSpace+1.7+on+Ubunt u#InstallingDSpace1.7onUbuntu-ChangetheinuseJavatoSunJava%2CasopposedtoO penJDK). If you're using tomcat6-user: It looks like the tomcat startup script generated by the tomcat6-user package actually uses the JAVA_OPTS env variable if it exists. Otherwise, have a look at the setenv.sh script in the bin subdirectory of your tomcat instance. cheers, Andrea -- Andrea Schweer IRR Technical Specialist, ITS Information Systems The University of Waikato, Hamilton, New Zealand ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------ BlackBerry® DevCon Americas, Oct. 18-20, San Francisco, CA http://p.sf.net/sfu/rim-devcon-copy2 _______________________________________________ DSpace-tech mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/dspace-tech ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ BlackBerry® DevCon Americas, Oct. 18-20, San Francisco, CA Learn about the latest advances in developing for the BlackBerry® mobile platform with sessions, labs & more.
