Server Not Starting Up

I started setting up my Bukkit Server today, and whenever I try to press start.command, this message comes up:

Last login: Sun Oct 5 23:22:39 on ttys000
Andrews-MacBook-Air:~ Andrew$ /Users/Andrew/Desktop/Bukkit/start.command ; exit;
readlink: illegal option -- f
usage: readlink [-n] [file ...]
Unable to access jarfile craftbukkit.jar
logout


[Process completed]
I've run servers on the same computer before, and this is the first time I've had a problem.

 

Hey there saturn20714

Please post your full startup script.

 

Hoolean here's what's in my start.command file, if that's what your asking for
#!/bin/sh
BINDIR=$(dirname "$(readlink -fn "$0")")
cd "$BINDIR"
java -Xmx1024M -jar craftbukkit.jar -o true

That's odd. Are you sure it's exactly the same as the other scripts you use to start your server? Try using this script instead:

Code:bash

#!/bin/bash
cd "$(dirname "$0")"
exec java -Xms1024M -Xmx1024M -jar craftbukkit.jar -o true

 

@Hoolean I haven't run a server in a while, so I can't remember what it was like before. Also, I tried the script you said and unfortunately that didn't work, but a different message came up:

Andrews-MacBook-Air:~ Andrew$ /Users/Andrew/Desktop/Bukkit/start.command ; exit;
Failed to load Main-Class manifest attribute from
craftbukkit.jar
logout

That looks a wee bit like a problem with the actual craftbukkit.jar; it may be corrupted or invalid.

 

Hoolean

What can I do about that? Should I download a different version?

 

You can't. CraftBukkit is takes down

 

AronTheGamer what does that mean?

ZanderMan9 thanks a lot, I'm not planning on running 1.8 until there's a stable version. We'll see if this one works...

No problem, man!
Hopefully there will be a stable version, if the current situation gets resolved. You can read up on from several sources, but some of them might be biased. Maybe you already know, idk

I dare anyone. I dare anyone.
Everyone else may be too much of a wuss to file a counter-DMCA, but I will fight that battle. Because I strongly believe Wolfe has no legal grounds, as his contributions were to a project whose license stated that all contributions are public property or something of the nature.
So if someone wants to have a go, be my guest.

Rather take down that file immediately.

ZanderMan9 I agree with you good on you!
