EDIT: After a bit of research on the Minecraft forums, I managed to find a solution (for Linux). I will explain it briefly to help anyone in the future with this problem. With the Forge Installer, install in the directory you wish e.x. /home/username/Documents/Forge or anything like that. Then in your terminal, type cd Documents/Forge or whatever you directory was. Then type pwd & if it says the directory you specified, type java -jar forgeserverfile (just type forge and then press TAB). This should start up the server, & create all the files in the specified directory. Best of luck to anyone who encounters this problem! Glad this was resolved! Cheers
So, I was trying to run a Forge Server, & I'm only planning to use Flans Mod and a few content packs for it.
However, I didn't even make it nearly that far.
I installed the latest Forge installer (I'm using Linux, so I made sure not to use the Windows installer). I ran it in OpenJDK 6, and installed it in a custom directory - everything's going good. I check out the folder where it installed, only 3 things were in it. Libraries, the Forge Server, & Minecraft Server jars. I ran the Forge one, and no files were created. This being said, no logs were there. Since I ran the executable in the command line, I managed to get all the information.
Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks in advance!!! (also, I know it mentions about accepting the EULA. I'd be happy to but the eula.txt file was never generated).
