Question

jboss server in linux environment getting below error.so please suggest how to rectify this error.

Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM warning: INFO: os::commit_memory(0x00000000daaa0000, 44761088, 0) failed; error='Cannot allocate memory' (errno=12)

There is insufficient memory for the Java Runtime Environment to continue.

Native memory allocation (malloc) failed to allocate 44761088 bytes for committing reserved memory.

Try increasing your heapsize by setting higher values for -Xms and -Xmx which stands for mininum and maximum heapsize respectively. Something like: -Xms=512m -Xmx=1024m for 512MB and 1024MB. — Omoro

Which JBoss version are you using? Normally you should edit the file run.sh in /jboss/bin/. Look for the property JAVA_OPTS then you should add those values there e.g. like this set JAVA_OPTS=%JAVA_OPTS% -Xms512m -Xmx1024m you have to tune the values until the the ones that work for you. — Omoro

It will work if you restart due to memory issue.otherwise you have to set your memory like below:

Set the JAVA_OPTS : JAVA_OPTS=-Xms1024m -Xmx1024m -XX:MaxPermSize=256m

Also this is good article about memory.
