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).

From the log:

I stated that after running the Forge Server that the files usually downloaded - weren't. The eula.txt file isn't there. I only have the Minecraft Server file, Minecraft Forge Server file, & the libraries folder.

Nothing is 'downloaded'

However, the issue is simple whatever way you are running the server is NOT running it in the folder you think it is.

It's 'working directory' is somewhere else, thus the EULA is put somewhere else.

How are you running the server?

Thanks for the reply. I'm not exactly sure what you mean by how I'm running the server... sorry.

I'm running the server off an Ubuntu-based distro.

I'm running the server on OpenJDK 6 (had problems getting 7)

I checked a plethora of places, couldn't find any of the server files. Also, using the Forge Install Tool I set the directory to the one I wanted. A few time I deleted the directory, & attempted using the default directory (.minecraft) which unfortunately didn't work. Thanks for the reply, means a lot. I hope this gets resolved! 

You run a command

Click a button

Double click a icon

SOMETHING to start the server.

Whatever it is is running it SOMEWHERE.

 

Thanks again for the reply. I'm not sure if this would particularly help but...

I tried to run the Forge Server (same version) on my gaming computer with Windows 8.1 & it worked perfectly fine. I chose the directory, and all the files required went in the place I chose. I'm starting to wonder if its just a problem with my system or not. The Minecraft Server, the Forge Server, & the Libraries file no matter what I do are the only files that go in the directory I choose.

I double-click the Forge Server .jar file (yup, its executable), it opens up the GUI for a few seconds (many times not opening the GUI at all just never appearing). The file I run is in the directory I choose, what kind of place could it be running besides where the file I ran is? I'm sorry - I know I sound really stupid right now, I'm just honestly confused with no ideas. -braindead-
