[How to host a Minecraft server on Ubuntu 12.04]

When you're running the wget command are you logged in as SU? if not try the same command but as

 

sudo wget https://s3.amazonaws.com/MinecraftDownload/launcher/minecraft_server.jar

 

Hey thanks, I was able to get it downloaded.

How I did it was, I had to add the user minecraft to the sudo user group .. by this command

visudo

(and then add minecraft to the sudo group to look like this)

# Allow members of group sudo to execute any command
%sudo ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL
%minecraft ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL

saved and exit out

Hey thanks for your help, I got past that part.. but I do get another error when it installs the java in the beginning.

here is a paste of the error.. is this going to hurt me?

Any advice would be great..

the following from another shell:

tail -f /home/demo/oab-java.sh.log

I found the issue, the java file had been updated from V0.2.3 to v 0.2.6

like this

 

 

wget https://github.com/flexiondotorg/oab-java6/raw/0.2.6/oab-java.sh -O oab-java.sh

 

That worked for me.
