Running a Server on Linux?

[Kthedude]

Well I'm a complete noob when it comes to linux, but I decided to install Mint 15 on my extra desktop computer at home, as it originally had Vista on it, and Vista was hogging too much of the computer's resources. So anyway, I installed Mint, and downloaded the big dig server package. I made all jar files executable, and also made both the .bat file and the .sh file executable. However, when I try to run either the launch.sh or the launch.bat nothing happens. If I try to run either the launch.sh or the launch.bat as "run in terminal" the terminal pops up for a split second, then it goes away. How can I get the server to run on Linux Mint 15?

If I need to do anything in the terminal, assume I know nothing and tell me how to do it step by step, because chances are that I don't know how to do it.

Thanks in advance for the help.

I don't use Linux bi I'll try to help

1. Open the console

2. Type: cd [your server directory]

3. Type: java bigdig.jar (or whatever your server is called)

I hope this helped:D

Gald to hear this helped, but I don't know enough to help you with your error, I can only recommend to get a fresh server version and try to reproduce the crash and then post it to the big dig discussion

Use command

$ java -Xmx2G -Xms2G -jar BigDig.jar nogui

or just type ./launch.sh
