.sh file failing to run even with run permissions (SOLVED)

[Satellite Slickers]

i am attempting to run a .sh file but every time i try to it just opens it in a text editor.
i already went to properties -> permissions and made sure that the box for allowing it to run as a program is checked, but it still only opens in the text editor and when i go to open with i dont see anything either. is there something that im missing?

Does the first line of your script look like this: #!/bin/bash?

Your permissions are something similar to this? (Don't have to match this example, just make sure execute is selected for "Owner" as a minimum. ) Did you create this as your user, or root?

Are you not seeing this when you double-click on it?

When I double click on it it just opens in a text editor, no prompt or error or anything.
I'm using Thunar as my file manager and the permission tab in properties looks like this at the moment

doubleclick scripts in xfce won't work. some desktops like mate,cinnamon give you option to open as text or run script in terminal.
for you, open Terminal in folder where ServerStart.sh is located and run ./ServerStart.sh
