Just completed a fresh install of 7.8 on my sandbox (using VMWare). Database starts up, Appian suite engines seem to start up (i.e. no errors)..so far so good. I start JBoss and it begins the process but then I get the following error:
Error occurred during initialization of VM Could not reserve enough space for object heap

I was thinking I just needed to add some heap space to the JVM but then my spidey-sense tells me that on an initial install with a vanilla config there might be more to it.

Any advice would be appreciated.

My system details:
Win7
JBoss 6.3 EAP
Oracle XE 11g
JDK 1.7.0_71
Everything running on VMware Fusion 7.1.0 (for what it's worth)

I also included a screen shot of the console running JBoss.

..and yes, I am an Appian newbie... :)...

Gotcha..so I cranked up my VM RAM to 8GB and restarted everything. DB and Appian start just fine. After I started the Appian suite I ran checkengine.bat and everything came up "okay". My problem seems to be with JBoss. It starts up OK now but I get errors on the deployment. Right now I am going through the 7.8 install documentation to see what steps I might have missed.

One of the symptoms I am seeing is that when I go to localhost:8080/.../designer I get a login prompt for the XA datasource. (screenshot attached) Which leads me to believe I have something wrong with the datasource authentication config.

Side note: from past experience running VMs I had been advised to only add the minimum RAM and processors. This "less-is-more" approach prevented the VM from causing my host system hard drive to thrash. It was mainly because (in a previous role, with another software package) I was running VMWare Desktop on my laptop with fairly limited resources so I had fine line to walk with respect to tuning things.
