I'm setting up a server for friends to play on out of my desktop, like I have been doing for the last 3 years or so.

I can get the server up and running, but it isn't very stable once it's up. In comparison, the client stays up and running just fine.

I'm trying to connect to the server before I let my friends onto it, but I've gotten the following errors when attempting to connect to the server:

 

First Attempt:

Second Attempt:

I don't understand why this is happening while Minecraft is trying to poll the server to see if it is online or not.

If this is the wrong place for this, my apologies.

 

Caused by: java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: PermGen space

 

I wonder if there is any tutorials or answers to this issues.. Or if people have asked it .. excessively...

Lex,

 

I've tried adjusting the PermGen Space memory several times to no avail. Also, the errors only occurs if someone attempts to connect to the server. If I leave the server running by itself, I have no issues at all. This is just puzzling as to why it only crashes when connections are made to the server. In the meantime, I guess I'll just continue to tweak the PermGen Space memory until it doesn't crash...

It crashes when people connect

Because when people connect it has to define a boat load more classes related to people connecting.

Simple, it's a permgen issue, simple as that, there is no questioning that it is right there in your logs.

Lex,

 

Thanks for explaining further. I'll be fixing my server this weekend.
