I'm trying to setup SFS2X on a Linode Ubuntu 10.04 machine. I unpacked everything according to instructions and got the following error message when I tried to start the service:
./sfs2x-service start

Preparing JRE ...
./sfs2x-service: 258: bin/unpack200: Permission denied
Error unpacking jar files. The architecture or bitness (32/64)
of the bundled JVM might not match your machine.
You might also need administrative privileges for this operation.

but if I just run
bash sfs2x.sh

everything works fine. What is the difference between the two options?

are you a superuser on the box ?
bin/unpack200: Permission denied

the system doesn't allow you to unpack with that user

Make sure to always work in your home folder, there you should have enough permissions for reading and writing.

I get this error even when I'm running as root. Is there an error log or diagnostic log somewhere so I can see exactly what it's trying to do? I have no idea what command it's trying to execute and which folder it's reading/writing from.

I did install OpenJDK on this machine, but it should still be running unpack200 from the SFS2X/bin directory right?

NVM, I figured it out. I didn't have execute permissions.

great that is now working
