minimum memory is 512. You may be able to reduce this by disabling the
specialpurpose folder.


for a 3ghz cpu it usually is about 2%.
around midnight there are some services that take up about 75% of cpu
time for about an hour. This is dependent on how much the services have
to manage.

as ofbiz has gotten new features, it has required more memory.
I run on a dedicated Centos, but there are a couple of others.

Re: minimum hardware requirement for ofbiz

HyunWoo Jo
thanks,

my VPS has 768M allocated memory
isn't it enough to run ofbiz for test?

i checked memory status with "free" and used 226M and about  550M left

when i tried to run ./ant run-install
i got this message at the end of installation
run-install:
      [java] Error occurred during initialization of VM
      [java] Could not reserve enough space for object heap
      [java] Could not create the Java virtual machine.
      [java] Java Result: 1

is that because of memory? or something else

i commented out the sepcialpurpose before i installed with <!-- -->  
thing, did i do right?

thanks for your help and time in advance.

Re: minimum hardware requirement for ofbiz

768 should be barely enough for trunk. I guess you will need at least 1g

Try to increase the memory using -Xmx

Also on trunk demo server we increased the perm gen space to 512, but maybe 384 or between (128 by default OOTB) is enough...

Re: minimum hardware requirement for ofbiz

HyunWoo Jo
Dear BJ, and Acques,

thank you for your help.
here are an update on my use and question.

1. i upgrade my VPS and now have 10GB hard drive space and 1.09GB  
memory allocated. CentOS 5.4 is running. i subscribed the VPS plan  
from O**** java hosting company.
2. finally i am able to install ofbiz (9.04) and it's running ok now.  
great!

here are question, (first of all, i am not expert on linux nor ofbiz  
as you might figure out :)
1. ofbiz service (or java service, don't know exactly), keeps shutting  
down with in a couple hours, and i have to rerun "./ant run" through  
terminal again.
how can i make this keep running?

my current # VM Options in rc.ofbiz is
JAVA_VMOPTIONS="-Xms128M -Xmx512M"

2. BJ told me that i can unload specialpurpose components to reduce  
memory usage., i unloaded couple components, but i don't see much  
difference in memory usage. am i expecting too much?

thank you in advance.
