How to setup a Ubuntu CraftBukkit Server (x64) running Java x64

Well, thanks for all that. But that doesn't help me move forward. I'm still stuck with the same error I had before I installed JRE.

Code:

root@Gamingrepublic:~# ls -lah /tmp
total 20K
drwxrwxrwt  5 root root 4.0K Feb  7 12:57 .
drwxr-xr-x 20 root root 4.0K Feb  7 11:59 ..
drwxrwxrwt  2 root root 4.0K Feb  7 12:57 .ICE-unix
drwxrwxrwt  2 root root 4.0K Feb  7 12:57 .X11-unix
drwxr-xr-x  2 root root 4.0K Feb  7 13:04 hsperfdata_root
root@Gamingrepublic:~#

Assume that I don't know the commands to do these things.

How do I place it in the /tmp directory? Is JRE the same as Java or JDK-default?

I know I've installed JRE-default.

I got it setup. I gave a friend of mine access to the server and it took him literally 5 minutes to activate it and open up a world. And then 10 minutes transferring my pre-prepared world into the server for us to use.

Thanks for the help guys. I'd say the tut is far from perfect, but your help was appreciated. I picked up some rudimentary Linux lingo for starters.

Thanx, it works ,
but I want something that if the server boot the minecraft server starts autmatically, how can I do that?

Code:

#!/bin/sh
java -d64 -Xincgc -Xmx1024M -jar craftbukkit.jar nogui

Awesome tutorial, thanks.

I've been running a server for a few months on both windows xp and Mac OSX with minimal problems, but I'm tired of having it on my mac, and want to set it up on a Ubuntu server. I managed to install the OS on an old pc, get it running, and follow most of your directions.

BUT: I can't seem to install java correctly, or something. Every time I try to do anything with java, be it -version or starting the start.sh, it displays this:

Code:

UnZipSFX 5.50 of 17 February 2002, by Info-ZIP (ZIP-Bugs@lists.wku.edu).
replace jre1.6.0_24/bin/java? [y]es, [n]o, [A]ll, [N]one, [r]ename:

If I select all, it'll run, do its thing, and then say it's done, but if I try to -version or run the start.sh then it just pops up with the same message. I've both run it and not run it when it pops up, and several times each, but it never changes. Help?

EDIT: I'm running Ubuntu Server x64 10.10, by the way. I'm a total noob at this, so please be patient with me.

NEVERMIND. I fixed it.

Not really sure what I was doing, but i pretty much shutdown the ubuntu server to revert to the root command line (does that make sense?) and then sorta followed the instructions on #5 of this page, but changed add-apt-repository to apt-add-repository, and ran it like that. Sorta.

I apoligize to anyone who tries to follow those directions.

BUT. IT WORKS.

Thank you, TnT, for this guide. It's been immensely helpful. +1!

Okay, so riddle me this:

If I want to ssh into the server via a mac terminal window, so that it gives me command line access to the server, etc., how can I get this ssh feed when logged in after the Minecraft server's started to show the Minecraft server feed? When I ssh in right now when a minecraft server's running, it just gives me the standard jpdiv@servername command entry, when instead I want it to show the Minecraft server feed, with player chat, command entry, etc.

Is this possible? Am I dreaming?

(Also, server's running Ubuntu server 10.10, java x64, nightly Bukkit, etc.)

how do i tell it to use more ram?

yes im shure very shure
java version "1.6.0_20"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (IcedTea6 1.9.7) (6b20-1.9.7-0ubuntu1~10.04.1)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 19.0-b09, mixed mode)

and no i will not usse sun

You have to chmod start.sh

You have to chmod start.sh so that it is executable by the user.
