java.lang.OutOfMemoryError

[Chris]

I have been using web harvest GUI for about a month and have had no problems,
but then today I went to open it and nothing happened. After a few attempts, I
decided to run it via the command line and saw that I was getting an
OutOfMemoryError. I increased the memory (using -Xmx1024m) and still got an
out of memory error. Any ideas of how I could fix this?

I have a class project due in 2 days, so any help is greatly appreciated.

Thank you,

It's a know issue. You need to remove webharvest.config file in your local
temp directory (in linux it's usually /tmp, have no idea where it is on
windows)

Wonderful! That solved it, thank you!

Also, on a Windows box, at least a Vista one, webharvest.config is stored in
C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Temp.

Thanks again!
