To change the memory configuration of Tomcat, you need to edit the startup script file catalina.sh (Linux) or catalina.bat (Windows).<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Locate the Tomcat directory and go into the bin folder.<\/li>\n
  2. Open the file catalina.sh or catalina.bat.<\/li>\n
  3. If the variable JAVA_OPTS is empty, set it to “-Xms512m -Xmx1024m”.<\/li>\n
  4. Set the initial heap size to 512 megabytes.<\/li>\n
  5. Maximum heap size of 1024 megabytes.<\/li>\n
  6. Allocation of the initial heap size to 1024 megabytes.<\/li>\n
  7. Increase the maximum heap size to 2048 megabytes.<\/li>\n
  8. Save and close the file.<\/li>\n
  9. Restart Tomcat.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
