Confluence ignores startup parameters in setenv.sh and startup.sh

[Nikita]

Hey everyone! 

Why Confluence ignores startup parameters in setenv.sh and startup.sh 

setenv.sh: 

CATALINA_OPTS="-Xms=2048m -Xmx4096m -XX:MaxPermSize=256m -XX:+UseG1GC ${CATALINA_OPTS}"  

startup.sh: 

CATALINA_OPTS="-Xms=2048m -Xmx4096m -XX:MaxPermSize=256m -XX:+UseG1GC ${CATALINA_OPTS}"  

But myorg.confluence.com/systeminfo.action tells me that the maximum heap space is 1291mb. 

Am I missing something?

In the startup.sh this entry does not only belong in the setenv.sh!

How do you start your confluence. With systemctl as a service or manually via start-confluence.sh

Is the entry $ {CATALINA_OPTS} set at the end of each line in every line of setenv.sh when defining the catalina opts?

That's my setenv and startup.sh: 

I start confluence from ./startup.sh

It looks to me like someone has destroyed your startup.sh script by copying parts or all of setenv.sh into it.

There should be no Catalina_opts in the startup.sh

I know who could have done it XD 

do you know to restore startup.sh to default?  

and what is the difference between start confluence with systemctl as a service and ./start-confluence.sh?

The start file for confluence is start-confluence.sh. this also reads in setenv.sh.

As a service, confluence is started by the system when the system is started and stopped properly when it is shut down

@repi  so if i shutdown confluence correctly and start it as a as a service confluence will begin to see the memory?
