Turning on a minecraft server

[alphaQ101]

I've recently ran into a wall setting up a minecraft server on a vps server. I'm not very familiar with linux (windows all the way) and I can't make the java coding turn on the server. I made sure the scripting was right, as well as I made the permissions for the file allowed it to exicute. If someone could help me out by telling me what I need to do and what commands I need to use, that would be extremely helpful and appricated

What step exactly are you having trouble with? Which version of Linux? Also, did you try following this guide? http://www.nfoservers.com/forums/viewto ... =67&t=5049

Make sure you have Java installed.
If using Java 6 or 7, they are both installed in different locations, so be sure to call Java from the correct location.

We upgraded from 6 to 7 and ran into this issue. And if you have 6 installed, and upgrade to 7, you have to manually remove 6. Installing 7 doesn't remove 6 first, and infact, they can both be ran at the same time.

You could also look to using MyMcAdmin but they restrict slots to 8 on a unlicensed version.

How do you manually get rid of java? Also, these are the java's I have on the ubuntu server:

The program 'java' can be found in the following packages:
* default-jre
* gcj-4.6-jre-headless
* openjdk-6-jre-headless
* gcj-4.5-jre-headless
* openjdk-7-jre-headless

The command depends on which version you're using, really, but you can try "sudo apt-get remove" and then the package name.
