I suddently started getting the following error when I start the Aptana Studio 3 terminal. The error might be obvious to those folks more familiar with languages where memory allocation is done manually, but it beats me. Here is the error:
0 [main] us 0 init_cheap: VirtualAlloc pointer is null, Win32 error 487
AllocationBase 0x684A0000, BaseAddress 0x68570000, RegionSize 0x4000, State 0x1000
C:\Program Files (x86)\Git\bin\sh.exe : *** couldn't reserve space for
cygwin's heap, Win32 error 0
My OS is Windows 10 64 bits (I installed Windows 10 awhile back, it is not a new install)
I have already uninstalled and installed the program. Any piece of advice besides buying a mac? :)
Thanks in advance.
easier than I thought - rebooting does the job. There is an excellent response here (same problem with some other cygwin program, but not aptana studio 3)
Git Extensions: Win32 error 487: Couldn't reserve space for cygwin's heap, Win32 error 0
Explanation of the problem goes: Cygwin uses persistent shared memory sections, which can on occasion become corrupted.

I've checked googles and stacks and cannot find an answer for my issue, so I'm asking here.
I've installed Intel XDK 2 on my system (Win 7 64b Pro) but cannot get it to start up. I've uninstalled and reinstalled.
I have it installed in the default directory \users\\AppData\Intel\XDK (I think that was it) so there shouldn't be an issue with permissions.
It comes up with the "Initializing page" but nothing else. I've left it be for about 1 hour while I worked on something else, but the window never changes and the app doesn't start. If I kill it and reopen it says that it didn't close properly and asks if I want a normal or safe start; I've tried both options.
Anyone have any issue with this?
(and please don't suggest phonegap / cordova... I've tried to install that on Eclipse and Visual Studio and both have failed miserably to simply work, even with the googles assisting me).
Two things to try:
-- Make sure you have a valid hosts file, for some folks this has been a problem getting the XDK to start, for unknown reasons, some systems either are missing their hosts file or have invalid entries which can sometimes cause trouble. On Windows, your hosts file is located here:
\Windows\System32\drivers\etc
-- Uninstall the XDK and then completely remove these two directories from your system:
%AppData%\..\Local\XDK
%AppData%\..\Local\Intel\XDK
I need to work with Delphi 6 Update 2 in Windows 8.1 x64 (in case you were wondering, it's about maintaining an old application, migrating to a newer version is not an option. I can't use a VM because I use the same machine to connect to some peripherals that don't work in a VM).
The problem is that Update 2 has a 32 bit installer with a 16 bit stub. So the current behaviour is that the installer starts, it extracts the files in a temp location, starts the setup then nothing appears on screen.
So far, I gathered that it is impossible to do it. But the same behaviour I 've seen for SQL Server 2000 (don't ask) but there I was able to use msetup.exe (DemoShield) to open a sqlservr.dbd that started the script. However, there is no such dbd file. I guess I was lucky on SQLServer 2000.
So far I've tried compatibility mode, DosBox, replacing the setup file with both Installshield 3 and 5, waiting for hours for the setup to start (sometimes, W8 does that), even comparing files and registries on an XP machine before and after update 2 but this might be a bit too risky to apply on a real machine.
Since Windows 8.1 86 includes Hyper-V for running VMs, most modern hardware supports Hyper-V, and Windows 8 x86 can still run 16-bit based apps:
Install a Windows 8.1 x86 VM under your host physical machine, then install it there.
The up-tick: it is easy to move your VM to a new host without needing to reinstall a full new VM.
See http://www.techrepublic.com/blog/windows-and-office/get-started-with-windows-8-client-hyper-v-the-right-way/7893/ and http://www.infoworld.com/d/virtualization/5-excellent-uses-of-windows-8-hyper-v-208436 to get started with Hyper-V.
Hyper-V can redirect quite a bit of hardware from the host to the VM nowadays. For "old" hardware like COM and LPT ports you often can buy USB adapters that can be redirected.
If installing on x86 Windows 8.1 works and x64 fails, I think you have proved the assumption that the 16-bit portion of the installer is the culprit.
Maybe my blog post from last year can solve your problem:
http://blog.dummzeuch.de/2013/11/11/delphi-6-on-windows-8-1/
excerpt:
I just deleted the registry entry
HKCU\Software\Borland\Delphi\6.0\LM
(I did not make a backup, what would have been the point?)
I started Delphi 6, ignored the warning about incompatibilities (which was talking about Delphi 7 anyway) and went through the registration/activation process again. This time it worked.
Maybe I should mention, that I did not install any of my Delphi versions to c:\program files but put them into c:\Delphi instead to avoid any problems with access rights to the installation directory.
We had 5 applications over a linode(Ubuntu 10.04 32 bit) of 1G RAM. Recently we moved one of the applications out of that linode to another of 512M. The application is built on Java EE and was working pretty stable on the old server. On the new server however tomcat(Version 6 on both servers) crashes every now and then without any logs. The only difference on the new server is that we are using nginx as the web server against apache2 on the old and the new server uses Ubuntu 12, 64 bit. There is no reason to doubt a memory leak because the application was behaving well on the old server. Are there any tomcat optmizations to be done to prevent such kind of crashes. I doubt if the reason is load due to traffic(since the new server has lower RAM) as well, because even in the middle of the night when there are just about 10 concurrent users, tomcat still crashes. Any insight towards the problem would be appreciated.
I checked the RAM usage and tomcat constantly occupies about 60% of the memory and all of a sudden crashes and goes to 0. I have used a bash script and run it as a cron job every 5 minutes on the new server to check if tomcat is down and restart it automatically. Could that be causing the issue? The script is mentioned below
if [ "$(/etc/init.d/tomcat6 status)" == " * Tomcat servlet engine is not running." ]; then /etc/init.d/tomcat6 start; fi
Please note, I am not an expert at server configuration. I can just about configure a server to install and get required things running.
You moved your app from a 32-bit Hotspot JVM to a 64-bit Openjdk JVM. And on the new server you have less RAM.
First I would try to install the same 32bit Hotspot JVM on the new server,and see if the crashes still occur. If they do, I would start adding more memory, and adjust xmx etc' accordingly.
I upgraded the RAM to 1GB, downgraded to Ubuntu 12, 32 Bit, reinstalled JVM 32 bit and now the server works like a charm. I was unable to zero down on the root cause, but the most possible cause should be either the 64bit OS or the 64 bit JVM eating too much memory. Thanks for your help.
I am having problem in running windows service of 32 bit on 64 bit windows server, query that i have is as following
1) will there be any problem if a windows service( using all 32 bit DLL's) is running on a 64 bit widows server??
2) If yes then how can we make a windows service of 32 bit run on windows server 2003 R2.
every time i try to run the service event log shows me error that attempt a load a program that is with incorrect format.( Exception from HRESULT: 0x8007000B)
Can this be a problem of service having any of its dll's of 64 bit?
You can absolutely run a 32-bit service on a 64-bit Windows OS.
can this be a problem of service having any of its dll's of 64 bit?
If the service cannot find a 32-bit version of DLLs that it references, it would fail to load. If the service is written with managed code, use the Fusion Log Viewer (Fuslogvw) to see if there are any binding failures.
We've had a 32 bit terminal services computer running some Windows services we constructed using .NET. Recently we moved everything to a 64 bit machine. Most things work. However, we are getting grief from a dll for apachefop.net.
In particular we get the following error
Error: Plugin Transcript Service
Execution Failed: Could not load file
or assembly 'apachefop.net,
Version=0.0.0.0, Culture=neutral,
PublicKeyToken=null' or one of its
dependencies. An attempt was made to
load a program with an incorrect
format.
I'm guessing that this is because it isn't meant to work on a 64 bit machine. Any suggestions about how to rectify this type of situation?
The problems seems to be caused by the fact that your assembly has been compiled with the anycpu setting. In this mode, when run on a 64 bits machine, your process automatically becomes a 64 bits process while your native references don't... And as it is not possible to load 32bits libraries from a 64 bits process you're running into troubles.
To quickly diagnose if it is the case you can use the corflags.exe which is part of the .net framework :
corflags.exe pathtoyourdotnetprogram /32bit+
Then run your program. If your soft is running well, then you should change the anycpu settings in your project to force the compiler to compile to a 32bits assembly.
