Trying run a java app but have java issue

[TJCooper]

I am try to run this command (some fields changed for privacy) in ssh to start it

cd /home/USERNAME/;nohup /usr/bin/j2sdk1.4.2_03/bin/java -jar jwwim_server_sql2.jar 127.0.0.1 USERNAME_DATABASENAME USERNAME_DATABASEUSERNAME DATABASEPASS PORTNUMBER

I can run it with no problems as root but get this error if i run as the user

Error occurred during initialization of VM
Could not reserve enough space for object heap

Any ideas???

I also tried putting the java installation in the users folder and still no luck..

same issue here... someone please post info...

java needs a lot of system resources, cpanel puts some ulimit restrictions in /etc/bashrc to limit normal users... with these default ulimit settings java uses more than its share and gets killed... if you comment out those lines and re-login you will be able to run it... i am currently looking for correct ulimit settings soi you can still limit users to some degree and let them use java... i will post those later...

instead of editing /etc/bashrc I added this to the command -Xmx48M like here below...

cd /home/USERNAME/;
nohup /usr/bin/j2sdk1.4.2_03/bin/java -Xmx48M -jar jwwim_server_sql2.jar 127.0.0.1 USERNAME_DATABASENAME USERNAME_DATABASEUSERNAME DATABASEPASS PORTNUMBER
