Jaspersoft Server 6.01 Install fails on Centos

[graham.shorrock]

I am trying to install Jaspersoft community edition reports server 6.1 on centos-6-x86_64. I have installed Oracle Java SE Development Kit 8u51. The install fails and the installation log shows the following errors.

     [echo] Validating JasperServer database connection at jdbc:postgresql://127.0.0.1:5432/jasperserver. Phase: [import-export-test]

     [echo] For JDBC driver the artifactId and version properties are set:

     [java] Error: Could not create the Java Virtual Machine.

     [java] Error: A fatal exception has occurred. Program will exit.

 

And the following 

Script stderr:

I have tried rebuilding the server from scratch reinstalling java but the install still fails with the same message .  

Any suggestions as to what is going wrong would be gratefully received.

Aren't you trying to use Oracle and not Postgresql? Did you select the Oracle sample_master.properties file?

[graham.shorrock]

Hi, No I am not trying to use Oracle, the reference to Oracle is related to Java, I downloaded the latest Oracle Java SDK and installed that prior to trying to install Jasperserver. For the Instalation of Jasperserver I just used the standard install with bundled Tomcat Postgresql etc.

Just a thought but is the problem caused by simply not enough RAM on the virtual server?

Sounds like it might be a JVM problem.  I did a search on "Unable to allocate 69632KB bitmaps for parallel garbage collection for the requested 2228224KB heap". Here's part of the thread from when the error message was added to linux:

http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/hotspot-gc-dev/2013-May/007096.html

So either you need to add RAM or you need to tweak your JVM settings. Here's a list of some common settings for JRS:

export JAVA_OPTS="$JAVA_OPTS -Xms1024m -Xmx2048m -XX:PermSize=32m"

export JAVA_OPTS="$JAVA_OPTS -XX:MaxPermSize=512m -Xss2m"

export JAVA_OPTS="$JAVA_OPTS -XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC"

export JAVA_OPTS="$JAVA_OPTS -XX:+CMSClassUnloadingEnabled"

 

If your current settings are higher, you might try setting them lower to see if you can fit them in your current RAM.

During installation i edited the next file on line 158 with nano:

nano -c +158 /opt/jasperserver6.1/buildomatic/bin/import-export.xml[/code]

And changed the line from:

<java classname="${class}" fork="true" failonerror="true" inputstring="">[/code]

To:

<java classname="${class}" fork="true" failonerror="false" inputstring="">[/code]

An it success completing the installation!! jaja!
