I am running JIRA from war file on Win7.
1) Java 6
2) Tomcat 6
3) Jira 5
I installed JIRA yesterday. I was able to get into JIRA web application yesterday and was configuring JIRA, until I entered licence key and TomCat gave me PermGen space error.
So far I have been trying googleing for hours and trying stuff, but nothing seems to work. At the moment I have this snippet in my tomcat->catalina.sh file. Yes I tried putting this to setenv.sh(bat) file, but still same error. So far have not been able to get Jira up and running again.
JAVA_OPTS="-Djava.awt.headless=true -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8
