Error: Your application used more memory than the safety cap of 500M

My question similar to the one asked here; however, I tried the solutions proposed and I don't know what is the problem.

One of the solution was to use the following command

server_start_command -J-Xm900m

when I tried it I got command not found and I searched how to get it but couldn't find it!

I tried also this solution

jruby -J-Xm900m abc.rb

but I keep getting the same error,

Error: Your application used more memory than the safety cap of 500M.
Specify -J-Xmx####m to increase it (#### = cap size in MB).
Specify -w for full OutOfMemoryError stack trace

What should I do in this case?

Solution

  • There is a typo in your invocation of jruby:

    You used jruby -J-Xm900m abc.rb but you should write jruby -J-Xmx900m abc.rb
