little trouble Running Bukkit on Linux

i've sort of installed java on linux, i got the files i'm just attempting to run it directly with the java.whatever file and so far it works, i can -version and it seems to run.

but when i try

Code:

[root@rune-chaos ~]# jre1.6.0_23/bin/java -Xms1024M -Xmx1024M -jar "craftbukkit-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar" nogui
Unable to access jarfile craftbukkit-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar
[root@rune-chaos ~]#

yeah.. any ideas? the files had its own directory but since it didnt work i tried putting them directly in java's bin with no luck.

 

Your command looks OK, it seems that the craftbukkit-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar file is not present. Not sure which distro you're using, but in some distros, when you log in as root, as it appears you are, your home directory (which is where you are, according to the ~ in the prompt) ends up being /root/ rather than /home/<username>/. Make sure the .jar file is where you currently are, or specify the full path to the file.

Which also begs the question, why do you need to be running your Minecraft server with root privs?

 

why not? i admit it may not be the best way but for now i'm just trying to get it to work.. i'm not exactly very knowledgeable when it comes to linux so could you give me some idea what i should aim for? also.. i've tried listing the directory to look for the jar file but i cant seem to get it to work, can you give me an example? i've been trying something like

Code:

jre1.6.0_23/bin/java -Xms1024M -Xmx1024M -jar "/Bukkit/craftbukkit-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar" nogui

but it gives the same problem.


EDIT: i got it working still would LOVE some suggestions, i seem to be able to handle basic stuff thanks to google and some past experience but i still would love the support.. if you want to know how i did it, for some reason i couldn't get it to go to the jar's directory but i just moved the files into root's main directory instead to try that out and what do you know..

sorry for double-posting but i cant seem to log in, it stops at logging in and then the server times me out.. here's the server log after attempting to log in several times

Code:

[root@rune-chaos ~]# jre1.6.0_23/bin/java -Xms1024M -Xmx1024M -jar craftbukkit-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar nogui
