perfSONAR User Q&A and Other Discussion

[Chris Welti <>]

I started another try today with the installation of perfSONAR 1.0 today.
I got the tomcat/axis instance running, but then the installation of
the perfSONAR software failed. It seems that a memory leak occured, the 
machine
just froze and didn't react any more not even via console.
All memory was exhausted on the machine including the swap space.
This is not very funny, as there are other applications running on that 
machine.

Anyway, here is the output of the install.pl script:
