"You need to agree to the EULA in order to run the server. Go to eula.txt for more info." Error Message

[/u/DharMannsLeftToe]

I am trying to host a papermc server for me and my friends. When I try to start the server, it says "You need to agree to the EULA in order to run the server. Go to eula.txt for more info.". I had to make a eula.txt file because I couldn't see any, and I named it "eula" and typed "eula.txt" inside. I'm still getting the same error. What am I doing wrong?
