Hi Roger,

The manual is very misleading, as the kernel memory paramaters are very
much going to depend on the size of the machine, which in the manual, are
for a machine with more memory than you have.

I would suggest you try this first though

JAVA_OPTS='-Xmx2048m -Xms512m'

for now..and see if it starts. With 2.12, the need for memory has shifted
to the database, so we really need to rewrite much of this in the manual.
Try this though and see if it works. After you get it up, you can tune the
memory usage a bit more.

The setenv.sh file should be in your tomcat /bin/ directory, and this will
depend a lot on how you installed it.

Regards,
Jason
