I cant start a server.

Title: I cant start a server.

Version: 3.1.2

OS: Windows XP 32 bit

Java Version: 7

Description of Problem:

Ok, so I downloaded the zip file for tekkit servers, unzipped in a file but when i clicked "launch" the error message showed up. I got 4 gig of memory left so unless a server takes up massive amounts of memory, i think something is off here.

Error Messages:

C:\Documents and Settings\Richard\Desktop\server>java -Xmx3G -Xms2G -jar Tekkit.

jar nogui

Error occurred during initialization of VM

Could not reserve enough space for object heap

Error: Could not create the Java Virtual Machine.

Error: A fatal exception has occurred. Program will exit.

C:\Documents and Settings\Richard\Desktop\server>pause

Press any key to continue . . .

Right click launch.bat > Edit > Change the3G and 2G to 1G to start off with and increase from there.

Worked fine for me, i was having the same problem

My guess is that your computer has already reserved more than 1GB of memory for background programs and will thus deny java from reserving 3GB (which isn't available). Do as CoreyD97 suggested, and you should be fine (unless you plan on playing with the client simultaneusly, then just forget all about having a server running).
