this tutorial is for centos, so please do not post about it not working in ubuntu or debian.

First install java:

1. yum remove java
this will remove the java that does not work on low ram.

2. install the ibm jre
idk if these links will expire or not:
Ibm Jre x86
Ibm Jre 64-bit
if these don't work, you will need to login:
http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/java/j...nload.html
download java se 6 for your architecture

3. install using yum localinstall --nogpgcheck filename
filename is the name of the ibm jre rpm package.

4. ln -s /opt/ibm/java-i386-60/jre/bin/java /usr/bin/java
or ln -s /opt/ibm/java-x86_64-60/jre/bin/java /usr/bin/java

i just found out you can also use a .bashrc alias:
cd ~
open .bashrc with your favorite text editor
add: alias java='/opt/ibm/java-i386-60/jre/bin/java'
or
add: alias java='/opt/ibm/java-x86_64-60/jre/bin/java'

5. its installed and ready to go!
java -version

now for minecraft, all you need to do now is java -jar minecraft_server.jar!

EDIT: the download links above have expired, please do not ask for a new link, just make an account. or if someone is willing to upload it to some filesharing site, I will post those links up.

For people who are having issues with the third step, it is :
yum localinstall --nogpgcheck filename

by the way, i manage to start the server, but the problem is that i cant connect to it... ...

oops, you're right, i forgot the 'l'. but i'm not sure why you can't connect.

What do you guys mean griefing? I really have no idea what you are talking about.

Griefing is when someone causes grief. In Minecraft, griefing would be when someone logs onto your server to destroy all that they can, which causes grief.

So, how do we solve this issue? Any idea? Is there any other way than to manually back up the world data everyday?

This work on a other VPS?

Plugins like WorldGuard can be used to protect areas.

this would work on any vps with atleast the ram specs of a vps 3 or 4.
