Hello,
If you wish to set or increase Heap size in apache tomcat on cpanel server (you can see the settings that are configurable if you issue “java -X” without the quotes), then create a file named /var/cpanel/tomcat.options. Add below entries in the file:
-Xmx2000M
-Xms1000M
This would change the maximum Java heap size (Xmx) and the initial Java heap size (Xms) on startup.
After this has been done, Tomcat would need to be restarted from WHM:
Go to WHM » Restart Services » Servlet Server (Tomcat)
Once you restart tomcat it will show result as below:
Service Status

tomcat started successfully.
That's all
