hay all ,
been reading up on trying to get forge running on my home linux servers ..
I have no issues getting a regular mc vanilla server up and running .. been doing that for years . using spigot and other addons ..
but with forge i cant seem to get the correct syntax to get the server up and running
all my files are set to full perms on the dir that i want to load from but ever time i just get
after running the installer I get this
Cache:
/home/.../forge/./libraries/net/minecraftforge/forge/1.16.1-32.0.108/forge-1.16.1-32.0.108-server.jar Validated: 35a8f893b7b7e46ee0df59803ca44027735cba1b
Cache Hit!
The server installed successfully, you should now be able to run the file forge
You can delete this installer file now if you wish
so i know the installer is installed and configured . but when i try and run the server files i just get this ( yes i know there are no memory options in the command i just left them out to see if i could just get it working )
and the server version :
#java -jar forge-1.16.1-32.0.108-server.jar
Error: Invalid or corrupt jarfile forge-1.16.1-32.0.108-server.jar
either running the universal :
# java -jar forge-1.16.1-32.0.108-universal.jar
no main manifest attribute, in forge-1.16.1-32.0.108-universal.jar
and yes i have verified that java is installed ( currently running a vanilla server with out any issues .. and yes stopped it for doing the forge install and trying to run this install / server version)
:~/forge$ java -version
openjdk version "1.8.0_265"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_265-8u265-b01-0ubuntu2~20.04-b01)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.265-b01, mixed mode)
:~/forge$
any tips .. or help would be amazing i would like to get this running .. and there is not really any documentation out there for running under linux anywhere . mostly only windows and the few places i found linux docs are sparse at that
