The -Xmx parameter is part of JAVA_OPTS and not CATALINA_OPTS and you set JAVA_OPTS in catalina.bat to increase max size (-Xmx) of your heap memory.

We had a rough time, and right now we're up because we slapped the old drives back in. After doing that, I found CATALINA_OPTS in the Environment Variables, and it had the -Xms and -Xmx flags after the -server one, but I called the guy who originally set everything up for us over a year ago, and he said he remembered that that didn't work him (we're on Win 2000 Server) and he had to set the memory via some super long command line when installing tomcat as a Service. I'm trying to find info on setting the memory with command line args when installing Tomcat as a service, so if you have a good idea of what needs to be on the command line when doing that in Windows, feel free to let me know or point me to the right docs.

You need to modify the CATALINA_OPTS environment variable: To give yourself a Gig of memory, try: export CATALINA_OPTS="-Xmx1024m" How you set this variable will depend on your environment/os etc. Hope that helps.
