Java Heap Error

Openfire Openfire Support

Openfire 3.6.4 on Windows has been crashing consistently after only a day with heap space errors. Does anyone have an idea of what I can do to correct this?

The application is running out of memory. This could be either due to a memory leak or you need to assign more memory to the application process. I see threads named BOSConnectiona and also some stacktrace with smack code. Since you are not using Openfire’s code out of the box then a memory leak could very well be the reason for this problem. Anyway, try increasing the server’s memory and see if the problem persists. If it does then you will need to contact the developers of your extensions to figure out where the memory leak is.
