Check the -Xms and -Xmx settings. This generally happens when -Xmx value
is more than the system RAM.

thanks, of 1.7 gig only using 800 gig before starting.

It is not about how much memory is available or used. It is about how
much you have allocated in -Xmx. If the -Xmx limit exceeds the total
available on system (for example 32 bit machines have 3Gb limit), you
will see this error.

Moreover on Windows the limit by JVM instance is about 1.5BG (at least on a 32 bits machine)

[Colin Rooney-2]

I've used small "local" virtual machines (both VM & recently
VirtualBox) in the past with memory as low as 512mb to run OfBiz (as
test), but recently when I deployed to a hosted VPS with 768Mb of ram
I encountered this same problem. I had modified the -Xmx setings to
512Mb and I cut out ever un-needed service on the VPS so that I had
>700Mb available before running the startofbiz.sh ofbiz but I always
received the out of memory error.  Experimenting I noticed I could
only allocated 256Mb (using -Xmx) before I would get the out or memory
error... even just doing a "java -Xmx 512M -version"!

From googling what I could determine was there seemed to be problem
running java under some virtualisation ... I cannot remember the exact
details but it was something along the lines of java not
distinguishing correctly between real & virtualised memory totals
which caused things to go wrong. ??

Strangely ... in the end I manage to start ofbiz by dropping the
script and just running java -jar ofbiz.jar ... But I am guessing the
defaults are very low.. but it was just a test machine & it ran so I
figured I'd wasted enough time and just moved on.

Colin
ps. when I installed ofbiz on this system initially it had run with
512Mb.  but when I came back to it after a month or so it no longer
did.

since I am using OOTB and it has always worked.
then the OOTB by default (startofbiz.bat)
since I can do a .\ant run,
I am not going to put any energy into why it does not work.
