Error occured during initialization of VM: Could not reserve enough space for object heap

Question

I am getting below error on starting SonarQube: Error occured during initialixation of VM: Could not reserve enough space for memory heap

Also modified wrapper.conf underSonarQube conf folder, but didn't work. Also changed java version: Java 8 to Java 7, didn't work

Increase your JVM heap memory size. Here is example: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3030263/increasing-the-jvm-maximum-heap-size-for-memory-intensive-applications — Sushant Tambare, Oct 07 '14 at 10:14

You do not enough available memory to run SonarQube. Try closing some applications.

If this is not enough check whether SonarQube's startup script specifies the amount of memory required, e.g. with options like -Xms=??? -Xmx=???. These indicate roughly the minimum and maximum amount of memory Java will acquire. Note the actual values and check with the task manager if you have enough memory available.

I have restarted my system many times and no other application is up. – Harjot Oct 07 '14 at 10:45

Issue was with version mismatch of plugins installed in sonarqube. I deleted jars for all plugins except java. This solved the issue. I figured it out from sonar.log Thanks

Running with the C# plugin, I had to delete the Java plugin to get it to work. So same solution, but true for other languages. – Belizzle Jan 19 '16 at 19:33

Its due to lack of memory. if you are trying that with ANT try the following

set ANT_OPTS=-XX:MaxPermSize=128m
