God just kill me now…….

 

Stop being suicidal over a minecraft server.

This is happening because
[15:33:05 WARN]: Perhaps a server is already running on that port?
1) You already have a server running on that port
2) Another application is using it.

Make sure you close out of all servers before starting a process; also, try changing the port at the place you portforwarded it.

 

if you running the server at your pc start the server with the ip 0.0.0.0 in the server.properties.. The ppl then can join over your public ip.

 

Im running on a mac and I have no idea what any of you mean...

 

@KingPuggles9 You have an application running on port 25565

 

How do I close it

 

What I do is change the port is server.properties but then u need to port forward it.

 

How do I port forawd
