Apache Tomcat server on linux

Question

Hi, I have installed java and tomcat appache server on linux. When i am going to start tomcat using ./startup.sh command on linux server, it gives output as

Using CATALINA_BASE:   /usr/src/apache-tomcat-5.5.28
Using CATALINA_HOME:   /usr/src/apache-tomcat-5.5.28
Using CATALINA_TMPDIR: /usr/src/apache-tomcat-5.5.28/temp
Using JRE_HOME:        /usr/src/jdk1.6.0_16
Using CLASSPATH:       /usr/src/apache-tomcat-5.5.28/bin/bootstrap.jar

but server is not started.

after that when i am firing javac command ,it generates following error

Error occurred during initialization of VM
Could not reserve enough space for object heap
Could not create the Java virtual machine.

i am not getting the right reason for that. I am new with linux. Please help me.

Thanks in advance

Answer 1

Could not reserve enough space for object heap.

Looks like there is not enough memory given for the initialisation. Check the given memory...and reconfigure your memory size for the JVM.
