Root-Server Problem

[Taidi]

Hey Guys

 

i have a problem with my root server. the server runs debian 7 and OpenJDK version 1.7.0_79.

 

i want to start a minecarft server on that server, and that works when im logged in as root, but i want to start it with another user, but the minecraft server stops directly after it started.

 

my start.sh script:

java -Xmx6144M -Xms6144M -jar /home/minecraftserver/crosscraft/spigot_server.jar

when i start the script as root it works perfectly fine, but when i start it as user minecraft it wont start correctly

that means your server has files that arent within the normal user's permissions

 

can be solved by doing: sudo chmod -r <user>:<group> /home/minecraftserver

its possible i'm messing up between commands again, but if you replace <user> and <group> by your user and group, it should work.

chmod: cannot access 'minecraftserver:minecraftserver' : No such file or directory

 

Do you mean chown?

indeed i do, is it obvious i didnt sleep much?

 

EDIT: and i'm pretty sure its -R instead of -r

Thank you it helped i forgott to add -R to the command, so the subdirectories where owned by root  :rolleyes:

been there, done that, and accidentially did -R to root once.
