I have a server using ubuntu 14.04 and running tomcat8. After adding a few sites, who's war files did not automatically deploy, i decided to restart tomcat to get them deployed. I have as a result got this error:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: PermGen space
I've been reading about permgen and have added the following to my setenv.sh file:
export JAVA_OPTS="-Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 -Xms128m -Xmx1024m -XX:PermSize=64m -XX:MaxPermSize=256m"
This has not helped. How do i go about clearing permgen and locating the source of the problem. Have tried restarting tomcat again and immediately catalina.out shows a permgen error so totally stuck.
