Hi Friends.
I had a friend hosting our minecraft server and he decided to take it down.
I had enough old hardware lying around that I built a webserver and decided to host our own linux box.
My friend who ran the server ran MCServer.
Well, I got the original Minecraft.jar server download to run just fine, so I wanted to use MCServer because of it using less resources and whatnot.
Is it possible to run from the command line?
short answer: yes
long answer:
yes, just download the latest linux build
opem terminal and go to wherever you downloaded it to
i believe its a tar.gz file isnt it?... so type:
tar -xzvf mcserver.tar.gz
^ obviously change mcserver.tar.gz to the actual name of your downloaded file
change directory in to the newly unzipped mcserver, setup the settings and stuff how you want to then do - ./MCServer (in the root directory of the mcserver folder)
or if you are sshing in to the server, do:
screen ./MCServer
to keep the server running when you close the ssh session. you can reopen the console later by typing:
screen -r
hope this helps
Sweet, thanks guys. Got it working.
A few more tips that could go on the wiki along with a few questions.
Questions : Ram allocations.
So with the MCAlpha server i was running I ran like -Xmex 1532 and a NOGUI command while running the server, is this not neccsarry? What If I wanted to allocate more ram to MCServer?
What are the main differences between this MCServer and the Mojang server?
Wiki stuff -
I'd make it a step-by step from a basic linux install.
-Checking for Java install
-Installing Java
-When downloading the MCServer.tar.gz I had to downloaded it, put it on my FTP, and re-downloadit from there because the link for downloading on the site is not a direct link to the file, so the wget command didn't work right.
Thanks for the help and knowledge, hope I can return the favor. Once I get the server setup right I will add the IP. I run it from home, but I do have Fiber Internet and am running the linux box on a AMD Athlon64 2.2ghz w/2gigz ram.
Cheers

You can't allocate RAM for MCServer, it does that by itself. Allocating RAM is a Java thing...

Just try it, the main differences should be quite obvious

You don't need Java for MCServer

This is a direct link:
http://mc-server.org/?uri=MCServer175.tar.gz
You can get it when you click on the download link on the site, and it says if the download doesn't start click here (that's a direct link)
