    I gotta say TnT that this thread helped me quite a bit getting a Minecraft server going on an Amazon EC2 instance. I'm even using your rsync script to back up to a remote machine. I guess I'm average in linux, so this really helped me out along the way.

    Would you be able to point me in the right direction for enhancing the rsync script to perhaps auto-number the minecraft backups and then delete the oldest ones automatically? It would be cool to have a rolling group of backups rather than a single entity.

    Cheers!

    I don't have one whipped up, but essentially what you would do is rsync it to your remote directory and gzip up those files into one archive based on the date. You just need to add in the archiving into your current script. PM me if you can't figure it out, I'll whip one up.

    How typical. I find this thread only now, after figuring all this out for myself >___<

    It's nice to know that I did things the right way though.

    My only question, does the "-d 64" parameter actually make any difference? This is the only thing I didn't do.

    It doesn't hurt to try, but it is there to force the 64 bit binaries by default. Should improve performance.

    Thanks for the answer. [diamond]

    I'm migrating to my new server tonight. In testing I'm already seeing a dramatic improvement in chunk loading performance, but that's most likely caused by jumping from a 900MHz Celeron to a dual core 1.66GHz Atom D510 ;)

    My server runs on openJDK, so I don't think this is accurate.

    in thinking about renting a Debian vServer (i could choose Ubuntu to, but i get Confixx for free when using Debian). Maybe im overreaching myself, since i never had anything to do with linux.
    I guess your tutorial works as well with Debian?
    Maybe i will chooso Ubuntu after all cuz i just like it and there is a great german Ubuntu-Community.
    But setting up a Minecraftserver and (maybe) also a Webserver without experience on that OS will not be easy.

    Yes, my tutorial should be pretty close for Debian.

    why do you use -d64? If you install java x64 you cant run anything in a 32-bit environment. Easy to check it with
    Code:
    java -d32 -version

    You should get something like
    Code:
    Error: This Java instance does not support a 32-bit JVM.
    Please install the desired version.
    And dont replace it with
    Code:
    -server

    "-server" option is implicit with the use of -d64 (you can find it here http://download.oracle.com/javase/1.4.2/docs/tooldocs/solaris/java.html)

    The -d64 option may not help, but won't hurt either. I just haven't updated my post to reflect it.

    The -server option is useless if you run a server OS, as it will use that option by default.

    If you dont use ubuntu or a debian-based distribution, you can substitute update-alternatives by ln -s :
    Code:
    cd /bin/
    ln -s /opt/java/64/jre1.6.0_27/bin/java

    I have a Windows 7 x64 computer.
    So if I do this I will be able to make my server run faster?
    Because when I try to run 3GBs of RAM on my regular craftbukkit server it says not enought memory, but I have 4GBs on my computer.

    Will this allow me to fix that?

    Disregard my last question. So when I type ./start.sh this happens:

    Someone please help me, I've been trying to get this to work and it's really frustrating.

    Do you have a file called craftbukkit.jar in your /opt/craftbukkit directory?

    Can you do an "ls -la /opt/craftbukkit" and paste the output please?

    why do you recommend ubuntu over say.. centos? what are the advantages?
     
  24. Offline

    TnT

    Mostly because I'm most familiar with it. CentOS is just fine. So are most flavors of *nix.

    Thank you. I am going nuts trying to figure out what is lagging my server. I have managed to get memory greatly under control now and usually have more then half my memory free which is great but my cpu usage is so high. The following thread is the only one other then the main thread that seems to be using the cpu much:
    Code:
    "Thread-12" prio=10 tid=0x00002aaac00b6000 nid=0x6b3 waiting on condition [0x000000004264d000]
       java.lang.Thread.State: WAITING (parking)
            at sun.misc.Unsafe.park(Native Method)
            - parking to wait for  <0x00000006a5754fc0> (a java.util.concurrent.locks.AbstractQueuedSynchronizer$ConditionObject)
            at java.util.concurrent.locks.LockSupport.park(LockSupport.java:186)
            at java.util.concurrent.locks.AbstractQueuedSynchronizer$ConditionObject.await(AbstractQueuedSynchronizer.java:2043)
            at java.util.concurrent.LinkedBlockingQueue.take(LinkedBlockingQueue.java:442)
            at org.bukkit.craftbukkit.ChunkCompressionThread.run(ChunkCompressionThread.java:39)
            at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:722)
    I am guessing that this is the chunk compression thread but is it normal for it to constantly be using 10-20% cpu? This is even with load player loading around 8 players. My main thread is usually around 140% or more. Like I said, I have a lot of memory free so I don't think that is a factor. My current start command is this:

    Code:
    screen -dmS minecraft java -Xmx5750M -server -XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC -XX:+UseParNewGC -XX:+CMSIncrementalPacing -XX:+AggressiveOpts -XX:+CMSParallelRemarkEnabled -XX:+DisableExplicitGC -XX:MaxGCPauseMillis=500 -XX:SurvivorRatio=16 -XX:TargetSurvivorRatio=90 -XX:+UseAdaptiveGCBoundary -XX:-UseGCOverheadLimit -XX:UseSSE=3 -XX:PermSize=128m -XX:LargePageSizeInBytes=4m -jar craftbukkit-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar nogui
    I have compiled that start command from various forum threads reading different do's and do nots and then seeing what actually works best for my server. This has greatly helped my memory but my cpu does not seem to be affected.
    Here is my plugin list. Most of these are small plugins and a few of them could be taken off until needed. Please focus on the specific plugins vice the quantity. Any help you all can provide would be greatly appreciated.

    What should xms and xmx be on a 24G or 16 G server ?
     
  28. Offline

    TnT

    I wouldn't set them any higher than 22 or 14-15 respectively. Depending on all the other functions the server does, I usually like to leave one, maybe two GB just for the tasks that aren't the main java thread.

    XMS value can be low, around 2-4GB is just fine.

    monir

    What would be the difference if i set Xms to 2G or 4G does it work better with 4 or it dosent matter?
     
  30. Offline

    TnT

    Xms is the starting value for the heap size. I doubt you'll see much of a difference unless the server actually needs that many GB of heap space right off the bat. You can play with that value or remove it all together - the only time you'll see a performance difference is on freshly starting the server.
