[opencms-dev] installing OpenCMS on Mac OS X

[Rene Hinojosa]

Greetings,

Try putting the setenv CATALINA_OPTS -Dfile.enconding=ISO-8859-1 line 
in your /etc/csh.login file. You will have to reopen a new terminal 
window or restart the terminal for the changes to take effect. This 
file sets the path and any other environment variables system wide.

Also, add the setenv JAVA_HOME /Library/Java/Home line in there.

You can check to see if they are set by typing:
  echo $JAVA_HOME
  echo $CATALINA_OPTS

Another tip to make tomcat add some speed is to use the following 
CATLINA_OPTS instead:

setenv CATALINA_OPTS "-Dfile.encoding=ISO-8859-1 -Xmx128M"

The -Xmx128M parameter is to set how much memory tomcat should 
use(default is 32Mb). The more memory, the better and faster the 
webservice will run.
