Hi Andrey,

You're running using Jetty and HSQL? I had similar problems and eventually moved to Apache Tomcat and MySQL which are more memory efficient - suggest you to the same although I don't lnow if there is another way but I exported my pages to .xar files which I had to break into small .xar file in order to reimport into my new xwiki on Tomcat and MySql (I kept the two installations running until we were happy we had copied everything across ... This process wasn't easy!

Hope that helps.

Regards,

Richard

Hi guys,

Thanks again for great collaborative tool!

We currently have about 1200 pages inside, many with objects, where several people search/read/edit info every day. And we are experiencing performance problems - at least once a day, sometimes more often wiki becomes unresponsive for 3-10 minutes while having high CPU load (my guess is either page file swapping or garbage collection by JVM), Out Of Memory errors becoming more often (sometimes wiki is stable for 1-2 weeks, sometimes fails several times a day). Additionally we've got repeating problems even with quite small attachments 500Kb-2Mb (I am aware of x27 DB storage trouble)

According to recommendation in guides and some talks on the Internet I tend to try database tuning or change. Could you please recommend a good candidate among freely available databases or even give a hints on HSQLDB tuning (maybe changing default memory mode to cached)? I've taken a look at H2 vs. HSQLDB comparison but there are quite controversial opinions...

Current servlet container configuration is -Xms700m -Xmx700m, no tuning for database, computer is a virtual machine on a farm with 2 GHz CPU and 1 Gb RAM. BTW, is this in general expected behavior for such configuration?

Many thanks, Andrey _______________________________________________ users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/users _______________________________________________ users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/users

As a personal experience, more based on habits, tomcat is of real good quality most of the times. Things like encoding must be cared for early... but that is easy to make. i2geo.net is used quite commonly and runs tomcat 7 (with my own scripts... but I do not think that makes a big difference). paul Le 13 févr. 2012 à 19:05, Sergiu Dumitriu a écrit :

Personally I'm very happy with Jetty as well, and on the contrary, I'm unhappy with some of the decisions taken by the Tomcat developers, which IMO looks like a legacy project still sticking to last century's standards, for "backwards compatibility". Sure, things can be configured, like switching to UTF-8 for parsing the query string, or disabling the %2F security warning, but still we get a lot of bug reports caused by these default settings and people not reading the installation guide for Tomcat.

One of the reasons is that XWiki SAS has almost all it's XWiki deployments using tomcat more by habit than anything else. I'm also not sure when we started that jetty was primetime. It's true that XWiki works with the most lightweight servlet engines so jetty is probably as good as tomcat. Ludovic 2012/2/13 변형진 <[email protected]>
