I am running JIRA from war file on Win7.

1) Java 6

2) Tomcat 6

3) Jira 5

I installed JIRA yesterday. I was able to get into JIRA web application yesterday and was configuring JIRA, until I entered licence key and TomCat gave me PermGen space error.

So far I have been trying googleing for hours and trying stuff, but nothing seems to work. At the moment I have this snippet in my tomcat->catalina.sh file. Yes I tried putting this to setenv.sh(bat) file, but still same error. So far have not been able to get Jira up and running again.

JAVA_OPTS="-Djava.awt.headless=true -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 
-server -Xms1536m -Xmx1536m
-XX:NewSize=512m -XX:MaxNewSize=512m -XX:PermSize=512m 
-XX:MaxPermSize=1024m -XX:+DisableExplicitGC"

Error:

Notice the Tomcat stops for 49 seconds on "Scheduling metrics collector to run every 10000ms...".

When running Tomcat as service from apache-tomcat\bin\tomcat6.exe, open up Tomcat GUI from tomcat6w.exe and add following line to Java Options in Java tab:

-XX:MaxPermSize=512m
