Pages load slowly.

This might be because of a number of things. Some things you might want to try are:

• Check that the hard-drive isn't full. Clear out files from your temp directory, and remove log files.

• Increase the size of the document cache. The document cache is an in-memory cache that caches documents fetched from the database in a Least-Recently-Used fashion. You can set the size with the property "DocumentCacheMaxSize" in "server.properties".

• Make sure you're not using any "url"-includes (<?imcms:include url="..."?>) in your templates. These used to be the only way to include JSPs.

  For including local files, use the "path"-include (<?imcms:include path="..."?>) introduced in imCMS 2.0.

How do i increase the memory available to imCMS when running Tomcat as a windows service?

You need to edit the registry to change a JVM option.

Using the registry editor (regedit), go edit "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\<tomcat service>\Parameters" where <tomcat service> is the name of your Tomcat service.

There you will find, among other things, the parameters to the Java Virtual Machine (JVM). The maximum memory limit is set using the JVM option "-Xmx<memory>M" where <memory> is the number of megabytes you want the maximum limit set to.

If there doesn't already exist a "-Xmx<memory>M" option, you need to add one. Do this by adding one (1) to the "JVM Option Count" value, and creating a new string value with the name "JVM Option Number <number>" (where <number> is the next available number in the option number series) and the "-Xmx<memory>M" value.
