java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space

[MrHasBean]

I'm getting this when trying to load a large file from a web server into a text element using GetURLasText. I am not familiar with Java at all - is there a way of increasing the size of heap space globally on OSX?

Any assistance appreciated.

We have instructions for how to do this at http://wo.360works.com/cgi-bin/support/productsupport.cgi/Heapspace_Out_of_Memory_Error

Thanks for the post, but I tried both of those methods with differing - but still not working - results.

If I create the file '/Library/Application Support/360FmKit/memorysize' I get an error when launching Filemaker telling me that I must have Java 1.4 or later installed on my system.

If I create '~/Library/Application Support/FileMaker/Extensions/Saved/memorysize' I get the out of memory error, so I don't know if it's picking that up. I'm using FileVault - will that affect this method at all?

OS is 10.6.2 running Filemaker Pro Advanced v9

It's ok - I worked it out. The file needs to contain the memory size in the -Xmx parameter style - with the "m" after it, although that still doesn't work in the ~ path - only in the /Library... path.

Thanks for the help though...

What type of file should this be. I tried it as a .txt.

I attached a screenshot. The file I am trying to upload is 49.5 MB. I am doing this to test the limits for the wp.uploadFiles method.

It works for smaller files. I already edited my php.ini to bump the memory.

If I'm doing this right, can you recommend a upload function to troubleshoot this to see if the wordpress function is the issue?

Thanks.
