Permission denied attempting to run server - Ubuntu

Hi everyone , I am attempting to host a server for a few of my friend to play on, running on an ubuntu server VM. I wrote a bash script to launch the server .jar, but when attempting to run the script I get a permission denied error. I have u+rw to everything in the folder and x permissions for the bash script and .jar. Any thought as to why this might be happening? Want to avoid running the server as admin for obvious reasons.
