Hi All

What are your URL's  or website address's ?

And thanks to Keith Gilbertson for the replies. I've dug through catalina.out 
for the past few days, and the only errors we're seeing is typical broken pipe 
warnings, from users moving on before a thread finishes. Hmm... maybe it's safe 
to scale back the nightly tomcat reboot to a weekly reboot?

Subject: Re: [Dspace-tech] DSpace Setup

1. Contact Info: Hardy Pottinger, University of Missouri (MOspace)
(message sent from my main e-mail address, use that).

2.a. DSpace 1.6.2 (XMLUI) with local mods for user interface, and
Shibboleth special groups handling
     1 assetstore at 1TB, 35GB used (big plans! really!)
     Number of items:

2.b. Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.4.0, running
on another server (unknown spec)

     db.maxconnections = 50 (anything less than 50 is unstable)
     db.maxwait = 5000
     db.maxidle = 0 (idle connections are nailed by the firewall on the
Oracle server, sysadmins will not change)

2.c. All RHEL-provided, Tomcat 5.5.23, running behind Apache 2.2.3 via
mod_proxy

2.d. DSpace and Tomcat are on one server, Oracle db is on a shared
server.

    Server: Dell PowerEdge 2950
            Memory size: 8110 MB
            CPUs: 4 x Intel Xeon 5160 @ 3.00 GHz
    OS: Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.5 (kernel 2.6.18-
194.3.1.el5PAE)

2.e. JAVA_OPTS="-Xmx512M -Xms256M" (this will likely change soon, need
to bump up PermGen)

3. Back when we were running on DSpace 1.5.1, after a period of about
24-36 hours of uptime, Tomcat became unavailable. Apache reported 503:
service unavailable. Looking at a dump after killing all Java processes,
it appeared that all database connections were unavailable. Changing the
db.maxconnections and db.maxidle settings (see above) was helpful, but
we are proactively rebooting tomcat and apache every night, to "clean
out the cobwebs". Have not disabled the nightly reboot since the upgrade
to 1.6.2, so do not have current data/log files. I'm willing to try
other config settings. I'm pretty sure I saw an interesting looking
patch that drops database connections (mainly for streaming situations)
that I can't seem to find right now, but might help this particular
stability issue.

4. Volunteer to help? Of course! I am a fledgling Java developer,
reasonably competent application manager, and working with XSLT only
makes me want to cry a little bit, nowadays. :-) We have a development
server with a snapshot of our live repository, and are willing to do
load testing, run a profiler, whatever it takes to help. We're certainly
not experts in any the various tech running under the hood of DSpace,
but keeping our repository running smoothly is our main job, and we aim
to please. You may use my address as the main contact, but we have two
more developers here who are willing to pitch in.

Hi...
Based on Tim Donohue's suggestion to share configuration and setup
information, here is Cornell University's Dspace configuration:

1.      Server: Sun sun4v T5140
           Memory size: 65312 Megabytes (4 CPUs)

2.      Running DSpace 1.6.2 (JSPUI) with local mods for User Interface,
Embargo, and Refworks.
       db.maxconnections = 50
       db.maxwait = 5000
       db.maxidle = 5
       2 assetstores at 300GB each (using currently 323 GB)
       Number of items: 14,960
       Number of Communities/Collections: 789

3.      Java 1.5.0_24

4.      Apache 2.29 running mod_jk to tomcat

5.      Tomcat 5.5.26
        JAVA_OPTS="-server -Xms1024m -Xmx2048m -Xmn64m
                   -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8
                   -XX:+UseParallelGC -verbose:gc
                   -Xloggc:/dspace/dspace/log/gc.log
                   -XX:+HeapDumpOnOutOfMemoryError
                   -XX:PermSize=1024m -XX:MaxPermSize=1024m
                   -XX:-UseGCOverheadLimit"

6.      PostGreSQL 8.3
        max_connections = 300
        shared_buffers = 32MB
        max_fsm_pages = 204800

Though we experienced some performance problems in the past, that
seemed
to disappear after we went to DSpace 1.5.2.
