Hi Gerald

I think you are being over ambitious to try and run in a 1G virtual
machine.  In fact even to run XEN server on 2G machine doesn't make a
lot of sense.  I can understand you might want to explore XEN
features, but you are very squeezed.

I am not sure what the minimum heap size required by dhis is.
Postgres by default if you haven't tuned it might use about 200M.
Nginx less.  You might try setting your DHIS heapspace in setenv.sh to
something like 700M.  But even so it seems extremely tight and you
will not end up with anything that is particularly useful.

Bob
