I have been trying to figure out how to fix this, I have looked at the blog, which offers ZERO HELP on how to actually fucking do the thing it tells you to do. I have been stuck for about 30-45 mins just trying to assign a folder permission so I can run this server. Could anyone help?

The article is not designed to replace a system admin

You need to create a user account which isn't root, assuming you don't have one, move the server files into a sane place if they're not already, and chown that folder to that user and then run the server under that account
