Increasing Java's heapspace in Tomcat startup script
- by Ankur
I want to increase my heap size when using Tomcat. I was told to add this line
export CATALINA_OPTS=-Xms16m -Xmx256m;
In to the startup.sh script - I did so (at the beginning) but got the error
export: 24: -Xmx256m: bad variable name
Where am I supposed to add it, am I doing something else wrong?
<b>export CATALINA_OPTS=-Xms16m -Xmx256m;</b>
