Best,

Sorry to bother but I'm slow with Java.
After installing on Ubuntu 14.01 and ./bin/run.sh I get:

Maximum ram: 428M
Maximum thread count: 71
Using config file: ./etc/etherpad.local.properties
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM warning: Cannot open file ./data/logs/backend/jvm-gc.log due to No such file or directory

Error occurred during initialization of VM
Too small initial heap for new size specified

I fix same problem by change the value in etherpad/bin/run-local.sh, Line 97
-XX:NewSize=768m
change to
-XX:NewSize=256m
perhaps value below MaxPerSize may pass this error
