However, I'm searching and searching on how to fix it for now. What I have come across is adding the following flags to the java execution command: -ms64M -mx512M So my questions are: 1. Will adding this allow me to deploy Tomcat, or is there some other way I have to free up the memory. 2. I apparently have to add this to my catalina.sh, but I am not exactly sure where to add it... Any idea? I can post file if necessary.
