I use Ubuntu to host many servers, some minecraft, some cloud services, and many websites. Unfortunately, after upgrading to Ubuntu 13.04, It will not launch the craftbukkit.sh even though it is set to allow it to execute, it only opens in getit. I am about to loose it since its been down for 3 hours and person after person comes to me with questions on why its all down. I am getting annoyed.

I am running XAMPP 1.7.7 (Not 1.8.1 for various reasons) on my server as well, after it says its loaded, it is not. Connecting to localhost does nothing. Can anyone help by chance? Thanks!

If you want it to be executed on double click, go to Nautilus > File menu > Preferences > Behavior, and change the preferences there: set "Executable Text Files" either to "Run executable..." or to "Ask each time" (thanks to Pablo for improving the answer).

I see that you figured out a workaround, but something that might be a little nicer and more elegant for you, would be to open up /home/server/Desktop/minecraft/craftbukkit.sh in a text editor and add:

# before anything is done, probably top of the script (but under the #!/bin/sh)
PWD=$(pwd)  # save the previous location
cd /home/server/Desktop/minecraft
...
...
...
...
# after everything is done, probably near bottom of the script
cd $PWD  # restore the previous location

If the current directory is the problem (as you implied in your solution), this should allow you to start the script from anywhere and it will work fine.

Well, not necessarily the way I wanted to do this but I figured it out. I had to "cd /home/server/Desktop/minecraft/craftbukkit.sh" to get to the location (Within the terminal) and then do "/home/server/Desktop/minecraft/craftbukkit.sh" to run the files. It worked, but its less convenient. I also fixed my website by doing the same process. I hope this gets fixed soon!
