Problem Setting Up New Tekkit LAN server

[5a1amand3r]

C:\Users\Squeak\Desktop\TEKKIT 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:\Users\Squeak\Desktop\TEKKIT SERVER>pause

Press any key to continue . . .

This is the problem i get when trying to run the server after clicking the Launch.bat file, not sure what to do to fix this,

Any ideas?

I think you haven't allocated enough memory for it to run. Try giving it more?

gunna sound like an idiot now, but how do i do this?

Do you have a 64-Bit OS? If not, then you're trying to allocate more than 1,5 GB of RAM to the server, which is impossible on a 32 Bit OS.

Yeah, the issue is that you're allocating too much memory, not too little.

Rightclick launch.bat, choose edit, and change:

java -Xmx3G -Xms2G -jar Tekkit.jar nogui

 

into:

 

java -Xmx1024M -Xms1024M -jar Tekkit.jar nogui

If you are playing with less than 10 people on at once (as I assume will be the case, since it's only a LAN server), that's more than enough memory, and it will work on just about any system.

Because Tekkit devs are weird and decided everybody must have 64bit Java and 3Gb RAM to spare.
