Hi Till, Geoserver 2.x should work just fine in Tomcat5.5 as well.
can you maybe check does the error actually say "PermGen Out of Memory" ? Geoserver requires little bit more of MaxPermSize to be passed to running JVM then default 64Mb (i think). Usually supplying -XX:MaxPermSize=128m would be enough for Tomcat running one instance of Geoserver. (If you have memory to spare, it doesn't hurt to give it even little bit more than that) This page should also be of help to you: http://docs.geoserver.org/2.0.0/user/production/container.html#optimize-your-jvm Regards, Ivan On Wed, Feb 16, 2011 at 1:05 PM, adams <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi list, > > I didn't find anything abouzt that googling around... > > Are there any known issues regarding geoserver 2.0 (.war) and tomcat 5.5 ? > > We tried a gs-installation by just copying the .war into the webapp-dir > which lead to a crashing tomcat. > The log says "out of memory" but we also extended the memory from 1GB to > 1.5GB - I think this must be fair enough? > > Or is it necessary to use tomcat 6 for gs 2.x ? > > Many thanks - Till > > > > -- > > --------------------------------------------------------- > terrestris GmbH & Co.
