I have tried installing ofBiz on freeBSD 4.11, but it hangs during

First, the only testing I have done with Apache OFBiz is on a 6.1 box.
What's the hardware like on your box? FreeBSD 4.11 will run in
character mode just fine with just 32 Meg of memory, which from my
limited POV will not run ofBiz at all. Also, threads have been
drastically improved with current 5 and 6 series so it may behoove you
to pick up a cheap box for testing with 1 gig memory and work with
enough memory for ofBiz to do its thing (Note: FreeBSD 6 will also run
on 32 meg memory, my point is that you may be running out of resources)
Thanks for the ideas there, I hadn't thought about resources being the
problem. The box is an HP Netserver, Pentium III, 1.2Gb with 1gb of
RAM, so I would have thought it had enough grunt.
My 'top' looks like this after the OFBiz has been running and hanging
for a few minutes :

The two java processes are the OFBiz processes - they do seem to be
taking a lot of memory there, perhaps that's the prob?
a 'vmstat' shows this :

Second, what Java SDK did you use? Native or Linux? Did you use the
ports collection method to install? Mine looks like this:
$ java -version
java version "1.4.2-p8"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build
1.4.2-p8-filepro_04_may_2006_11_30)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.2-p8-filepro_04_may_2006_11_30,
mixed mode)
My Java should be ok, here's what I get :
java version "1.4.2-p7"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build
1.4.2-p7-mark_07_may_2005_14_30)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.2-p7-mark_07_may_2005_14_30, mixed
mode)
Third, what user are you starting up as? Are you logging in as a
member of the wheel group and su'ing into root, or running from the
console as root?
I'm logging in remotely (the box is in a server room a few hours drive
away) and su'ing to root. I'm then doing the "./ant run-install" as root.
Thanks again,
Mark
