Hi all,

Weird - I only got this response and nothing else from the list...


Anyways, I'm not using solr - Just Tomcat - and I don't have Tomcat as a service I have a startup script for it. Should I just place JAVA_OPTS in the startup script?

I'm on linux/redhat btw -

So my script does this:

export JAVA_OPTS="-server -Xms512m -Xmx1024M -Xms64M -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8"

/usr/local/tomcat_5.5/bin/startup.sh


Does it make sense to define JAVA_OPTS here?

Thanks!

generally accepted to set JAVA_OPTS=-Dsolr.solr.home='/usr/share/tomcat5/solr'

in the event you dont have a "TOMCAT account" on your box
pls read this posting from david at cornell on setting JAVA_OPTS for use by TC

that case, there should be a script in /etc/init.d for starting/stopping
tomcat.  Take a look at that.  If the settings aren't in there, the
script may have comments pointing you in the right direction.  I don't
think the .bashrc will work because the tomcat account is probably
disabled.  That's the way all accounts used by linux/unix services are
for security reasons.  There is no interactive login to run a .bashrc
file from when tomcat starts or stops.
