[Fixed but not completely solved]Can't add more RAM

My server is running 1GB of RAM but I wan't to bump it up to 2GB. I have 8GB on my computer but it doesn't tell me how much RAM I have usable. This is the error

Code:

Error occurred during initialization of VM
Could not reserve enough space for object heap
Could not create the Java virtual machine.
Press any key to continue . . .

Any help would GREATLY be appreciated. Sometimes the lag is too much for my players

 

i had that problem to. im guesing your using windows 7 64bit cuz it install java32bit instead of 64bit cuz most browsers cant use java 64bit. just download java 64bit here: http://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp

 

Be sure you uninstall the 32bit version first (find it in Control Panel -> Uninstall A Program) so that it'll definitely use the 64bit one.

In addition to allowing more RAM, the 64bit version can also be started with the "-server" option, which also optimizes performance.

 

Okay thank you both but I now can't find the path for the 64bit java... Where does it install to? and should I download both 64 and 32 bit?

 

both can be installed at the same time or at least i read that somewere xD any chanse you know how i can fix this btw? http://forums.bukkit.org/threads/problem-with-dll.15764/

 

Sorry no idea how I'd say 1. Don't use that program again 2. Download something off the internet and maybe it might rebuild itself?

 

C/program/java and as i said above i think it works with both

worth a shot and i allready deleted the program just in case it had been infected with something nasty

OH MY GOD thank you so much. I give you diamonds for the help.
@MSC I'm also curious about -server option. How do you set that up?

 

hello -server???

 

what is the -server option and what does it do?

 

I don't know. I'm trying to get the answer from MSC

 

You can add flags to the command you use to start java to customize the JVM. -server is one of those flags, and causes the server VM to be used. Depending on what other flags you use, this may already be the case, or may not be.

 

Add these values and then leave it alone -Xms4G -Xmx4G remove the existing values first tho . Make sure your using Java64bit

 

@cjc343 Explain how to add these flags

@ledhead900 I got it fixed I just want more info

 

@echo off
java -server -Xms1024M -Xmx1024M -Xmn150M -jar craftbukkit-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar nogui
pause

 

I get this error
Error: could not open `C:\Program Files\Java\lib\amd64\jvm.cfg'
Press any key to continue . . .

 

Reinstall Java. Easiest way - open x64 IE, go to Java.com and download the latest Java. Install and try again.

 

Hello i have a fix.
1. Do what thecoolwolf did.
2. Then check if you have alot of files in your bin folder located in C:\ProgramFiles\Java\jre7\bin
If you dont have alot then go to find the java in the ProgramFiles(x86) and copy the bin folder and replace the one in the 'ProgramFiles'. Then you are good to go!
