It seems like the files (e.g. recipes.txt) cannot be read, even with being in the same folder. How can i fix this? xD

Thanks in advance!

post screenshots of what the file directory looks like, the first level, where the server executable file is.

balreschs-iMac:~ balresch$ /Users/balresch/Desktop/MCServer/MCServer ; exit;

You're not starting the server from within the MCServer directory. First move ( 'cd' ) to the MCServer directory, then do ./MCServer

balreschs-iMac:~ balresch$ /Users/balresch/Desktop/MCServer/MCServer ; exit;

You're not starting the server from within the MCServer directory. First move ( 'cd' ) to the MCServer directory, then do ./MCServer

that too, rofl. if the directory was correct i was guna tell him to do that next

[Redbeard1475]

What directory exactly should the MCserver folder be in. I am getting the same errors exactly, and obviously cant log in.

[FakeTruth]

Please post your log, and you should actually be able to log in, regardless of whether MCServer is able to read files

here: http://mc-server.org/wiki/doku.php?id=install you can see how to install on linux, which is similar to max since unix and linux are very similar. What i suppose you are missing is changing to the server directory.

example of what should be done:
extract server files from the compressed file you downloaded to a location (for this example it will be in a directory called "MCserver" in the home directory)

open up terminal and type:

Code:

cd ~/MCserver

(the "~" means your users home directory - equivalent of /Users/your_username)
to change to the right directory

then you can type

Code:

ls

which will list the contents of the directory. If its the right one then go right ahead and try to run the server. If you cant see the server files, go back to step one.

Hope this helps
