[Geoserver-users] GeoServer on HP-UX

I may be asking someone to install GeoServer on HP-UX and found that the install of GeoServer on Unix is described at:

http://docs.codehaus.org/display/GEOSDOC/Binary+Package+Install#BinaryPackageInstall-Unix

To me these instructions seem fairly minimal and I’ve not been able to find any clear references to GeoServer success on HP-UX.

Is someone able to provide me with reassurance/caveats about HP-UX as a platform for GeoServer to serve data from Oracle Spatial as WMS and WFS-T?

Hi Graeme,

I have never ran GeoServer on HP-UX but I know it runs just fine on
other Unix / Linux systems. As for Oracle support, people are definitely
using it and it is working. Unfortunately Oracle it is somewhat brittle
due to lack of a maintainer for it so bugs to often pop up.

We successfully installed geoserver (on tomcat) on HP-UX (with a virtual host), with connexion to a postgis database (running on centos 5). No special requirement. We only needed to start tomcat passsing -Xmx1024m to the virtual machine, to prevent from some permgen.

Curious... to prevent permgen errors usually the flag is -XX:MaxPermSize=someSize. See also: http://java.sun.com/docs/hotspot/gc1.4.2/faq.html

Nice Andrea, did not know that.

The thing is that when we used -Xmx, we managed to reduce dramatically the number of permgen…
I’ll try your trick, should be better

The permgen is the part of the vm memory that holds the bytecode, so
it usually reachs a limit when lots and lots of classes get used.
I'm wondering if in your case you have (many) other applications
deployed in the same web container, or if it's GeoServer itself
that's pushing the limits of the VM.

So far I've seen reports of permgen issues only in one case where
GeoServer was used along with a Grails based application. Given
that Groovy programming style is bound to generate a ton of
inner classes (one for each closure you use afaik), I assumed
that was the main cause, but your report is making me re-think
about that, so I'd like to have more info about your deployment
environment.

Cheers
Andrea
