When you come across following error


java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: PermGen space



Follow the following steps :

1) vi /usr/local/jakarta/tomcat/bin/catalina.sh

2) Add following line into the catalina.sh file.

Quote:

JAVA_OPTS="-Djava.awt.headless=true -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 -server -Xms512m -Xmx1024m -XX:NewSize=256m -XX:MaxNewSize=256m -XX:PermSize=256m -XX:MaxPermSize=256m -XX:+DisableExplicitGC"

Save and exit
Then restart the tomcat
