Thread: Trouble starting server on centOS6 VPS

I installed the latest JDK version onto my VPS, and put all the server files into the JDK directory. Now, the matrix compiler is originally like this:

Code:

@echo off
@title Ozank 718 Compiler Server
@echo Ozank 718 Compiler
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.8.0_05\bin\javac.exe" -d bin -cp data/libs/*; -sourcepath src src/com/rs/game/player/Player.java
@echo Ozank 718 Compiler Part 1
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.8.0_05\bin\javac.exe" -d bin -cp data/libs/*; -sourcepath src src/com/rs/game/player/Equipment.java
@echo Ozank 718 Compiler Part 2
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.8.0_05\bin\javac.exe" -d bin -cp data/libs/*; -sourcepath src src/com/rs/Launcher.java
@echo Ozank 718 Compiler Part 3
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.8.0_05\bin\javac.exe" -d bin -cp data/libs/*; -sourcepath src src/com/rs/game/player/dialogues/*.java
@echo Ozank 718 Compiler Part 4
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.8.0_05\bin\javac.exe" -d bin -cp data/libs/*; -sourcepath src src/com/rs/*.java
@echo Ozank 718 Compiler Part 5
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.8.0_05\bin\javac.exe" -d bin -cp data/libs/*; -sourcepath src src/com/rs/game/player/content/*.java
@echo Ozank 718 Compiler Part 6
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.8.0_05\bin\javac.exe" -d bin -cp data/libs/*; -sourcepath src src/com/rs/net/decoders/handlers/*.java
@echo Done!
pause

However, since thats only windows compatible, what I did was login to my server via SSH, go into the JDK directory where all the server files were, and ran these commands from the command line:

Code:

javac -d bin -classpath data/libs/*: -sourcepath src src/com/rs/game/player/Player.java
javac -d bin -classpath data/libs/*: -sourcepath src src/com/rs/game/player/Equipment.java
javac -d bin -classpath data/libs/*: -sourcepath src src/com/rs/Launcher.java
javac -d bin -classpath data/libs/*: -sourcepath src src/com/rs/game/player/dialogues/*.java
javac -d bin -classpath data/libs/*: -sourcepath src src/com/rs/*.java
javac -d bin -classpath data/libs/*: -sourcepath src src/com/rs/game/player/content/*.java
javac -d bin -classpath data/libs/*: -sourcepath src src/com/rs/net/decoders/handlers/*.java

I didn't get any errors with each command, so I assumed it compiled properly. However trying to start my server with (Which came in the run.bat file with the matrix source):

Code:

java -XX:-OmitStackTraceInFastThrow -server -Xms512m -Xmx512m -classpath bin:data/libs/netty-3.5.2.Final.jar:data/libs/FileStore.jar com.rs.Launcher false false true

I get the following error:

Code:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ClassFormatError: com.rs.Launcher (unrecognized class file version)
   at java.lang.VMClassLoader.defineClass(libgcj.so.10)
   at java.lang.ClassLoader.defineClass(libgcj.so.10)

   at gnu.java.lang.MainThread.run(libgcj.so.10)

I've spent the better half of a day trying to figure this out and can't get it to work, ANY help would be very appreciated!

(unrecognized class file version)
That right there is saying that your java is not right.
like on a original PI i sometimes get unsupported java version or somethng like that. you just need the right one. good luck
