Hello

I have a windows 7 OS and I want to install a portable version of opemkn (without using the installer). So I downloaded this file: openkm-6.2.4-community-tomcat-bundle.zip, and unzipped it into c:\
I have java 1.6 installed, so I just open a terminal window, set the JAVA_HOME variable and navigate to the C:\tomcat-7.0.27\bin directory.
Then I type "catalina start".
What happens now is that a new window opens and immediately close, before I have the time to read its content. After that the program is not running in the background (cannot access it from browser) and its just stopped.
The log directory does not contain any files.
I also tried the windows installer and the end result was the same.

Does someone know what's wrong ? How can I trace and find the problem ?

Thanks

Guy

Im sorry, I did not do my homework before posting this message.
I read a little further down the forum and found it was the java memory allocation which is too high. I changed it in setenv.bat and everything works nicely now.

Thanks

if you're on 32 bit you can not user more than 2GB with JVM, I think that has been your problem. If you decide run OpenKM in a production environment with a lot of documentation and users I suggest move to 64 bits and 2GB for OpenKM and other 2GB for the OS.
