We experience the new 3.7.0 as a step back since we keep running out of memory. We need to restart the Openfire every two days as it runs towards 95% of the 1 GB of memory (heap) available. We had similar problem with 3.6.4 but not near as much as now. Does anybody know what could cause this?
I have exactly same problem. I have to restart 3.7.0 every now and then since it has eaten all 2G of memory. With old 3.6.4 I had to restart it only once in a month or so. Now I’m thinking of downgrading back to 3.6.4, I just have to check that downgrading works as nice as upgrade.
Thanks for your answer. At least my problem might be related to PEP, since after I disabled PEP totally, no more memory leaking, at least in last few hours. Of course I need to monitor it much more to be sure, but at least looks promising. I disabled it by using these instructions:
I’m really not a java-guru, and I have installed Openfire from .deb-package, so I really don’t know how I could patch my Openfire with your instructions So I just disabled it for time being.
