Im trying to set up a 1.7.10/1.7.2 forge server on ubuntu 14.04 but i cant find any tutorials on how to do it,can someone give me the commands?im using putty for the VPS console
I'm going to assume you're allowed to download and install things on the server yourself.
1. First you're going to need to install Java. There's an easy way to do this and a hard way to do this. Easy way is to run:
sudo apt-get install openjdk-7-jre
This should pull in all necessary Java-type files. Verify Java got installed by running
java -version
2. Next you're going to need to get a copy of the forge server. Go grab the installer for the version you want. Also go ahead and download PSFTP here if you don't already have a file-transfer client. Copy the forge installer to the server and move it into the directory you want your server to be in.
If he also gives you the executable error repeat the step above on him to make him executable. It'll ask you to agree to the EULA. If you look in the folder you're currently in you should see that a EULA file was generated. Go ahead and open that with a text editor (nano is on most systems), agree, and save. Note, this guy needs to be in the same folder that the server jar is in or it won't run.
5. Run the server again. This time it should work and download all the needed files. Go ahead and close him using the typical /stop command.
6. The server jar should have created a 'mods' folder. That's where all you mods will go. Most mods nowadays are universal for clients and servers, though occasionally one will flub up and break something.
7. As an optional bonus of Ubuntu, you can use the built-in cron system to run basic backup scrips. Just use
This guy will back up your world on a daily basis at 4AM each day. You can edit the timeframe as you wish, but the important thing is you don't have to remember to do it!

3. Cd to this directory and run If Ubuntu throws you a warning about the file not being executable add the executable bit by running
