    Hey all. I have a odd question.
    I have been developing my server on a Mac and am going to port it over to a Linux Box running Ubuntu. Developing as in building a spawn town and getting all the plugins ready. Is there anything special I would have to do to get this Mac version running in Linux?

    Craftbukkit: 860
    Start Up CraftBukkit Via: LaunchServer.command
    LaunchServer.command Contents:
    Code:
    cd ~/Desktop/Bukkit\ Server
    java -Xincgc -Xmx1024M -jar CraftBukkit.jar
    Thanks in advance.

    well, just copy it to a usb drive and be sure to edit the port and such in all of the configs and ipv4 in port forwarding and all of that stuff. i dont really know since i havent got a mac or ubuntu...

    (I've done this exact same thing, but to a server version of Ubuntu.)

    Minecraft/Bukkit are all java programs that can run on any operating system, so there's no files that are mac-specific, just the way it's set up. Your only change will be to the LaunchServer.command, from what you have there to something like
    Code:
    #!/bin/sh
    java -d64 -Xincgc -Xmx1024M -jar craftbukkit.jar nogui
    Now, I'm not an expert here, but TnT's thread on setting up a Ubuntu server is pretty much how I managed to do it, so I'll definitely redirect you there: http://forums.bukkit.org/threads/how-to-setup-a-ubuntu-craftbukkit-server-x64-running-java-x64.598/

    Basically, you just have to install Sun Java, if you haven't already, and it's pretty painless.

    Good luck! :D

    Alright, glad to hear it won't be much of a hassle. Thanks.
