i also increased the heap space in catalina.bat upto
JAVA_OPTS="$JAVA_OPTS -Xms1024m -Xmx4096m"
but still i am getting same error.

what are the minimum requirements of system to run the Alfresco application?
please help to solve my problem.
Thanks in advance

Hi,

Are you 100% sure your JAVA_OPTS changes are being picked up?
You can modify the Tomcat startup script to output the JAVA_OPTS so you can check.
