[Geoserver-users] Boundless Opengeo Suite: Geoserver fails to launch due to Java heap size

Hi,

Thank you for reporting. I guess that the issue was not specific to Opengeo suite but the "gwcMetaStore" trouble can occur at least with some versions of standard Geoserver with integrated GWC. I think that such a metastore does not exist in latest GWC versions, am I right?

I was able to resolve the issue.

The memory error was occurring while the gwcMetaStore was being created, as
Jody pointed out. The (wimpy) server would run out of memory while these
classes were being created because the cache had gotten too large.

Steps to fix:

    Since the services wouldn't initialize, I could not use the geowebcache REST
API to truncate the cache.
    Backed up data_dir to local machine for safety.
    Reinstalled OpenGeo Suite
    Replaced the gwc/ and gwc_layers/ directories in data_dir/ with those from
the fresh install
    Pointed the new install back to data_dir/
    To prevent this from happening again, I enabled disk quota on geowebcache
and set an appropriate max size

It was removed in GeoServer 2.4.0 as far as I remember
