Question about setting up server on mac

[beerboy91]

So after downloading the server pack from FTB website (infinity), I opened up ServerStart.sh and changed

"java -server -Xms512m -Xmx2048M -XXermSize=256m -d64 -XX:+UseParNewGC -XX:"

to

"java -server -Xms4G -Xmx4G -XXermSize=256m -d64 -XX:+UseParNewGC -XX:"

then made the file ServerStart.command, went to Terminal, typed in "chmod a+x " and dragged ServerStart.command, and pressed enter. But nothing happens... I have the latest Java 7 update, my computer has 8G RAM... but I don't know why it's not working. I watched several youtube tutorials but whenever they do chmod a+x... the terminal goes through a whole script while mine just doesn't do anything. It literally doesn't say anything. I just press enter and it's the same thing that happens when I don't input anything in the terminal and gives me a new line to write on.

Anyone know what's up? I'm using Macbook pro retina 2012.

There should be FTBInstall.sh run that first.

1. You're running a server on a laptop?
2. Java typically doesnt like having the Xms and Xmx values the same, setting it to maybe Xms3584M (3.5GB) might help?

Did you forget to specify the server jar using "-jar server_name.jar" ?
