Error when generating generate sslcert

The good news is I’m updating my production server I run into a snag but I can’t seem to figure out Google is not being helpful. From the tutorial The server is up-to-date running ubuntu 15.

root@ubuntu:/usr/games/minecraft# ./generate-sslcert.sh
Generating a 1024 bit RSA private key
…++++++
…++++++
writing new private key to ‘.tmpkey.pem’

./generate-sslcert.sh: 77: [: : unexpected operator

Is your default shell bash? Or is it a different shell?

Perhaps try /usr/bin/bash generate-sslcert.sh to directly specify the shell to be used and maybe we’ll get workable results.

EDIT: meant /bin/bash

I used ‘sudo -i’ to get root. I’m thinking that’s the problem.

root@Home:~# /usr/bin/bash generate-sslcert.sh
-bash: /usr/bin/bash: No such file or directory
root@Home:~# nano /etc/passwd

Nope thats not it. use ‘sudo passwd root’, then ‘su root’ to to get root this time.

I meant /bin/bash.
