Any ideas?
Make sure that your server.properties 'server-ip=' line doesn't have anything after the equal sign, although it doesn't look like it does based on the startup log. I would try restarting the VPS, or making sure there are no instances of java already running. Also check to see if there's a firewall on the VPS blocking port 25565, or if some other software is already running on that port.
Did you start it up then do CTRL-C to terminate it? If yes, just reboot the VPS and it will be back to normal. Failing that, check if any other applications are using that port.
Fresh reboot, still doing the same thing. DO you have a start up script for linux EDIT by Moderator: merged posts, please use the edit button instead of double posting.
I do, but it's pretty heavily weighted towards my server and how I have it set up, and it requires GNU Screen. If you have at least a basic familiarity with bash scripting (and GNU Screen), you should be able to modify it to suit your needs though. Check it out here. Just drop it into your /home/user/bin folder, make it executable, and then use the 'crontab -e' command to edit your user's crontab, adding the following line: But I'm not sure that the script itself is your problem, if the Minecraft server isn't already running, then there's got to be a firewall blocking it, or something else is already running on port 25565.

Idk whats wrong
Ewww, OpenJDK.... I'd try installing the official Sun (Or is it Oracle now?) version of Java, first of all. Second, what does your mc.sh contain, is that the script that I linked above?
I would uninstall java using the same method, and install the latest version from java.com. OpenJDK may not support those Xms Xmx options that you're passing it, or it may handle them differently.
