Hi and thanks for the reply.
For someone like myself who is very inexperienced with configuring java and
tomcat, it'd have been useful if there was a statement on the tomcat setup
page here something like this:
"Make sure you give enough memory to Java. The default memory settings for
tomcat are too low to install or run xwiki without issues. Recommended
settings are min 512 and max 1024"
or something of that order.
"Make sure you give enough memory to Java” was noteworthy, I wondered about
it, but it didn't clue me in to the fact that out of the box tomcat defaults
to way too low.
Err…. You didn’t even try to click the link? :)
It’s not possible to repeat information in all places in the wiki obviously. I’m sure you
can understand that. For ex you’re on tomcat but other users are on other servlet
containers and if we spread out the information about there memory needs across tens of
pages in the wiki, it is then very difficult to update it when memory requirements change
across time and we’re sure to forget places. This is why the wiki has links…
In the case at hand it’s even better because the link on the "give enough memory to
Java” sentence was pointing to the troubleshooting section of the **same** page with
detailed information and a link to the memory requirements page.
So I’d like to improve our doc but there’s only so much we can do.
The only option I can think of would be to prepare a VM/docker container with tomcat
already set up but even that won’t solve all the needs since some users won’t want to run
XWiki in a container.
Thanks
