Mykit java profiler: Cannot start: Cannot automatically determine if a 32-bit or 64-bit JVM will be used

Question

I am trying to use Yourkit profiler for a Spring-MVC application running on top of tomcat. I am using Intellij Idea 13. I also successfully installed the plugin, so I could see the profile parameter, but I get the following error:

Error running Apache runtime Cannot launch: it impossible to automatically detect whether a 32-bit or a 64-bit JVM will be used in order to supply appropriate profiler agent version. To solve the problem, explicitly choose the JVM kind in the YourKit plugin configuration settings. 

Can someone tell me exactly where are yourKit plugin configuration settings? I suppose there should be some place in the IDE where plugins can be configured. Any help would be enjoyable. Thank you

Answer 1

Check the startup / debugging configuration setting when trying to start the profiler from an idea.

on the Startup/Connection tab, there should be another tab to choose which jre to use. something like this
