Error on startup of the test server

I am trying to look at the webfacing tool.  I took the lab at COMMOM and 
everything went well.  I am following the lab steps for one of our own 
applications but cannot start the test server.  I have no idea what I am doing 
wrong so I am asking for some help.  Below is the entire output from the 
console when I tried to start the server, any help would be appreciated.  By 
the way, I only have 512 of RAM.  I have asked for a RAM upgrade but not gotten 
it yet.

Thanks in advance.
