First, make sure Java is installed properly. By default most linux distros come with a free version of Java that won't work with CrushFTP. Make sure its an official Sun java, or other suitable JVM.
CrushFTP10 requires Java 17 to run. First, check if there is a Java/openJDK 17 runtime available on the host, by default most linux distros come with an open source version of Java that may not work with CrushFTP. If there is none, download the latest openJDK tarball for your OS platform ( AMD64 or ARM) from [https://jdk.java.net/archive/|https://jdk.java.net/archive/], untar it into the CrushFTP10 installation folder then rename the resulting jdk-17 folder to Java

If it mentions GNU, it is not the right one.
To run Java, you may need to specify the full path to the java binary. Something possibly like /usr/java/jre1.5.0_11/bin/java. Its going to depend on where you installed it.

__Starting CrushFTP__
The key here is making sure you are in the CrushFTP directory (so its the working directory), and using the "-d" option to start in daemon mode. If you are not in the right directory when you start CrushFTP, it will start generating a new prefs.xml file and users folder from the new location where you started it.

There is a script provided to give you the basics of starting and stopping CrushFTP. It might be overkill for your situation, but you are welcome to use it and modify it for your needs. The script is crushftp_init.sh. Its included with your download of CrushFTP already. You must edit the script the first time you use it to set the correct path in it.

While you technically can do everything with CrushFTP from the command line and editing text XML files, its much easier to use a GUI to do this. You can use remote administration with CrushFTP in order to remote control a headless server. This lets you have a full GUI controlling the headless linux installations of CrushFTP.
While you technically can do everything with CrushFTP from the command line and editing text XML files, its much easier to use a web browser to do this. You just need to have an admin user created first.

Since this is CrushFTP5, you will want to move this user to the proper location:
You can now login to the administration console using a web browser. The default ports are:

{{{http://your_ip:8080/
https://your_ip:443/}}}
At line 62 changed one line
You can then login using this username from a ftp client, or via the remote admin interface of CrushFTP. I recommend using remote admin using HTTP over port 8080. For FTP to work, you may need to adjust the 'passive' IP in the server preferences if CrushFTP has detected the wrong IP on your machine.

The basics are opening CrushFTP, clicking manage servers button in the upper right. Add a new item, click on it and set the URL to match the credentials of the user you just made. ''http://remoteadmin:mypassword@192.168.x.x:8080/'' Click apply, then click OK to close the manage servers window. Finally, select your server from the drop down and wait as CrushFTP connects to your server and gives you a remote admin interface to the GUI of the headless server.

You can also do it from a script. Let me explain. CrushFTP supports the "SITE QUIT" command if it has been enabled in the User Manager under the Admin tab for a user. So you can have a scripted command that simply logs into the server, issues SITE QUIT, then logs out. The server will then gracefully quit saving any unsaved data to disk before exiting.

Provided a user named "remoteadmin" exist, and they have permission to execute that command, CrushFTP will terminate once the user logs out.

__Running as non-root (not recommanded)__
\\
\\
This method details how to run from rc.local on a systemd init based Linux flavor. Running as a non-root user won't allow binding to ports below 1024, will need to use NAT or port rewrite rules in iptables to be able to server on IANA defined well known ports.
Running crush in user mode as "crushftp" system user, by adding below lines into rc.local (generic method)
{{{
su - crushftp -c '/var/opt/CrushFTP10/crushftp_init.sh start'
exit 0
}}}
\\
This may be required in case daemon mode doesn't output to nohup.out, in this case modify the init script as
\\
{{{
$NOHUP $JAVA -Ddir=$CRUSH_DIR -Xmx384M -jar plugins/lib/CrushFTPJarProxy.jar -d 2>>nohup.out &
}}}
\\
\\
Running in user mode on systemd RHEL 7/8 family Linux
\\
First in crushftp_init.sh will need to set the user as "crushftp" ( or whatever non-root user) then allow rc-local.service to be able to run ( needed for compatibility mode, non root user)
\\
{{{
touch /etc/systemd/system/rc-local.service
vi /etc/systemd/system/rc-local.service
}}}
\\
paste into below
\\
{{{
[Unit]
Description=/etc/rc.local Compatibility
ConditionPathExists=/etc/rc.local
[Service]
Type=forking
ExecStart=/etc/rc.local start
TimeoutSec=0
StandardOutput=tty
RemainAfterExit=yes
SysVStartPriority=99

}}}
\\
then edit /etc/rc.local
\\
{{{
vi /etc/rc.local
}}}
\\
add in
\\
{{{
su crushftp /var/opt/CrushFTP10/crushftp_init.sh start
exit 0
}}}
\\
then make it executable
\\
{{{
chmod +x /etc/rc.local
}}}
\\
then install the rc.local service
\\
{{{
systemctl enable rc-local.service
}}}
\\
reboot, check if OK
\\
\\
\\
Obsolete system V init method
\\
\\
create new scriptfile

add this script to /etc/init.d/crushftp
