Subsonic Forum

Hi all.

I have to admit that I gave up searching for the answer on forums. When I search for java.lang.OutOfMemoryError it looks for java and/or lang and/or OutOfMemoryError. Blame it on my lack of knowledge how to use the search tool.

Enough about that. I have this java memory issue on my ubuntu server and to increase the available memory allocation for java I have to give this command :

java -Xmx<size>m -jar yourjarfile.jar

The question is which jar file should I include in the command?

are you running a Standalone Install or the .war with Tomcat?

Standalone Install (.deb)
to increase Standalone memory on Ubuntu

Code: Select all

sudo gedit /etc/default/subsonic

follow the comment in the file to increase memory ex:

Code: Select all

SUBSONIC_ARGS="--max-memory=512"

Tomcat WAR Install
for increasing Tomcat memory you add that java option to the JAVA_OPTS path. I did it via the tomcat6 start script

Code: Select all

sudo gedit /etc/init.d/tomcat6

and add the below anywhere

Code: Select all

export JAVA_OPTS="-Xmx512m"

all of this increase the max memory to 512 which may be to much for your needs you can put what ever you want in (128, 256, etc)
