FishEye Troubleshooting
- After I commit a change to my CVS repository, it takes a long time before it appears in FishEye. — If you do not have a CVSROOT/history file, then a commit will not appear in FishEye until after FishEye has done a periodic full scan of your repository. You can configure the period of this scan in the Admin pages.
- FishEye freezes unexpectedly — If your FishEye 2.0 or 2.0.1 instance freezes unexpectedly, this could be caused by a known issue with FishEye and MySQL database technology.
- Generating a Thread Dump Externally — If FishEye stops responding or is showing poor performance, providing thread dumps to support can help diagnose the problem.
- I have installed FishEye, and the inital scan is taking a long time. Is this normal? — As a guide, FishEye should be able to process about 100KB-200KB per second on an averaged-size PC. If FishEye is accessing the repository over the network (e.g. over a NFS mount), then you should expect the initial scan to take longer.
- I have installed FishEye, but there is no data in the Changelog. — When you add a repository, FishEye needs to scan through the repository to build up its index and cache. This scan can take some time. Until this scan is complete, you may find that some data is not displayed.
- Initial scan and page loads are slow on Subversion — It's possible that you've mis-configured your tag and branch structure and caused FishEye to process some or all files as trunk files. You should recheck your tag configuration.
- It seems that FishEye's HTTP Header is Too Small
- JIRA Integration Issues
- Message 'org.tigris.subversion.javahl.ClientException svn Java heap space' — The Java heap space needs to be increased to an acceptable size. See the FishEye Tuning documentation for more information.
- On my Red Hat Linux system, after running for several days FishEye freezes and does not accept any more connections. — On some Linux systems (particularly RH9), there are socket problems between the JVM and the kernel. To fix this, you need to set the LD_ASSUME_KERNEL environment variable before starting FishEye.
- Problems with very long comments and MySQL migration — There is a known issue with FishEye 2.0.x and very long comments when migrating your database to MySQL.
- URLs with encoded slashes don't work, especially in Author constraints — If the author names in your repository contain slashes or back-slashes, and you are using Apache, you may run into a problem where these characters are incorrectly escaped.
