the system actually gave you the answer: Invalid maximum heap size: -Xmx=100m Could not create the Java virtual machine.
If you are going to give the PermSpace 350M, you must have a lot of memory, so giving half gb for heap won't heart: JAVA_OPTS="$JAVA_OPTS -Xmx=512m -XX:MaxPermSize=350m -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8" regards Leon (Of course you can give less memory, like 256m or 128m).
