[opencms-dev] OpenCms 6.2.1 installation problem with PostgreSQL 8.1.4

[Gaith Bader]

Hello everybody,

due to work requirements I was asked to move development of our  
OpenCms to a PostgreSQL database instead of the usual mySQL

I decided to do a clean install of Tomcat,  PostgreSQL and OpenCms,  
when I go through the setup wizard of the OpenCms, I chose  
ProstgreSQL as the database, chose postgres database for  
installation, everything goes just fine, it starts installing and  
importing modules, then around 5 minutes into the setup it finishes  
the installation telling me the Status is ok (with the green tick)  
however, looking at the output this is what shows up just before it  
finishes:

-----------------------------
2656:	
2655:	Shutdown completed, total uptime was 00:06:13.
2654:	Shutting down OpenCms, version 6.2.1 in web application "opencms"
2653:	
2652:	
2651:	The OpenCms system used for the setup will now shut down.
2650:	The setup is finished!
2649:	
2648:	
2647:	Admin at Offline>exit
2646:	Admin at Offline>
2645:	java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space
2644:	( 42 / 56 ) Importing /demopages/search-demo/example-documents/ 
Alkacon_OpenCms_6_Business.pdf ... Exception while calling method  
"importModulesFromSetupBean".
------------------------------

As you can see on line 2645 it says (java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java  
heap space) it is giving an out of memory error. checking around, it  
seems that this is supposed to be a  mySQL limitation, where you  
should make the max_allowed_packet larger around 16MB, but usually  
that error happen when trying to import a large module or files into  
opencms after installation, also I could not find any reference to it  
in connection with PostgreSQL!

Even though, in the setup output it says the setup is finished and  
all is fine, when you do try to go to opencms/index.jsp it is not  
found, and a lot of the pages naturally are not found either, since  
the setup cut off before it installed them all.

Has anybody encountered this problem? any suggestions, to how to go  
around it and fix it?

I appreciate any help you can give,

Relevant environment setup:
OSX 10.4.6 (powePC)
Tomcat 5.5.17
PostgreSQL 8.1.4
OpenCms 6.2.1
Physical memory : 1GB


Cheers,
