New server admins/linux users looking for a bit of help and advice

[Abar]

Recently me and a friend of mine put together our own personal server machine for running minecraft servers mainly FTB's 1.6.4 DireWolf20 pack. We have gotten the machine put together and running just fine with Ubuntu version 13.10 and we have done our reading on the server setup and install guides, but it has been problem when we follow the guides exactly. We have used both recent guides from the FTB server admins forum and from other sites to cross check information and look for the issue we are having, but no luck so far. When we get to the point of launching the server via terminal we get the error "unable to access .jar file" if we try to launch the .sh file directly it is unable to launch. Any help that everyone can offer would be greatly appreciated and any basic information, whether it be server admin tips in general or sites that we can go to research more on our own time.

Thanks everyone for your time and help.

Do chmod +x (filename) on both the script and the jar. Execute script like so ./scriptname.sh

Sorry for posting late the problem with your SH file might be

. once you fix the options for running the executable files execute the serverstart.sh like LeoMC said.
