1.20.1 Forge installer not creating mods, config or defaultconfigs directoryies.

[rpmof78]

Hello support team,

Trying to install forge 1.20.1-47.2.XX on a dedicated Linux server and the installer will not create the mods, config or defaultconfigs directories.  This is a dedicated server that just had forge-1.19.2-43.2.14 installed and ran without any issues.  

current Java version

[root@a-jiggy-server 1.20.1]# java -version
openjdk version "17.0.9" 2023-10-17 LTS
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (Red_Hat-17.0.9.0.9-1) (build 17.0.9+9-LTS)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (Red_Hat-17.0.9.0.9-1) (build 17.0.9+9-LTS, mixed mode, sharing)
[root@a-jiggy-server 1.20.1]#
 

Install command: java -jar forge-1.20.1-47.2.20-installer.jar --installServer

launch server and agree to eula.txt from above directory: java -Xmx5120M -Xms2048M -jar server-1.20.1.jar nogui

The install log says:

The server installed successfully
You can delete this installer file now if you wish

You were doing so good. You're running the vanilla jar.

Hence why it doesnt do any modded stuff
Run run.sh

I'm relaunching the forge jar after agreeing to the eula.txt. directly

Remove the server-1.20.1.jar file - it's not Forge as Forge 1.20.1 doesn't have an executable jar - you need to use the run.sh.
