The Bukkit Consulting Firm - Solving all your Bukkit-related challenges!

I am trying to make a new server and I downloaded the new Recommended Build and made the .bat files, but when I try to run the .bat it says "The system cannot find the path specified." I am not sure what I could possibly do to solve this. The .bat file is:
@ECHO OFF
SET BINDIR=%~dp0
CD /D "%BINDIR%"
"%ProgramFiles%\Java\jre6\bin\java.exe" -Xincgc -Xmx1G -jar craftbukkit-1.0.1-R1.jar
PAUSE

 

It worked when I changed the craftbukkit starter to use 64 bit, thanks!
Also (new question): How come in my own server where I gave myself all (*) permissions, I can't delete or build around where I spawn? I need to change that :/ what do I do

 

as i stated in the Sticky thread in the help section

ok try changing

"%ProgramFiles%\Java\jre6\bin\java.exe"
-TO-
"%ProgramFiles%\Java\jre7\bin\java.exe"

and if that doesnt work then make sure that the craftbukkit.jar file you downloaded is named

craftbukkit-1.0.1-R1.jar

if its not RENAME it

sry if im repeating myself but it doesnt sound like you tried removing all plugins except the lightning one on THE PRODUCTION SERVER! chances r high the some plugin u have is blocking litning 4 watever reason...

Still didn't work. It is still saying "The system cannot find the path specified."

 

WE CAN SOLVE THIS TOGETHER! if i remember rite that error is because of the java part not the craftbukkit.jar. Try opening a file browser and seeing if there really is a ProgramFiles\Java\jre7\bin\java.exe or a ProgramFiles\Java\jre6\bin\java.exe. if not we'll go from there

@iwonshinobi dam it its 1am here and i need to get some sleep, try validating that path and ill try and check in in a few hours

I have two Program Files folders. The first is just Program Files but the second is Program Files (x86). The only one of those that has a java folder is Program Files (x86). I'm not sure if this helps at all but that's what I found out.

 

After a while opening my server it throws out this annoying message and it always says read time out.
What am I suppose to fix? Please HELP!!!

Answer the following questions:
1. What plugins do you have?
2. What OS is your server?
3. What java version?

I can't help you without more info. However a server restart/reload should temporariy fix the issue.

Change %ProgramFiles% to %ProgramFiles(x86)%

thanks, i made spawn radius 0 and I can edit now. I'll be using factions for spawn protection anyway

 

U mind taking a look at this?

http://forums.bukkit.org/threads/server-hangs-itself-with-no-error-in-the-console.53620/

 

thats why i gave u my plugin list idk what plugin it is
it isn't my plugin, or is it nolagg
ill continue to test them

 

yeah i looked at ur plugins and none of them seemed to be a problem but it has to be ONE of them

hmmm thats strange. try removing all plugins and slowly adding them back until you get the error. Once you find the plugin thats causing this let us know and we can look into why its doing it...

EDIT by Moderator: merged posts, please use the edit button instead of double posting.

 

Here is a list of plugins I would pull first:

Code:

Backup.jar
JSONAPI.jar
mcMMO.jar
PluginList.jar
ScheduledAnnouncer.jar
ServerLogSaver.jar
VanishNoPacket.jar

If the problem stops, one of these plugins is your problem.

Also, it seems like you are sporting a dev version of spout. I would recommend using a stable version because it's... well... more stable.

 

I just recently had my computer upgraded from a 32 bit OS to a 64 bit one. I think I might still have a 32 bit Java, so if this is the case, do you know where I could get a 64 bit version instead?

 

http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jre-7u2-download-1377135.html

Download the one that says "Windows x86 Online"

 

ya i planned on testing each one today (that deals with lightning) today, except i feel nasty
Actually, i feel a little better...

 

Thank you so much my server works again!

 

You are welcome

Yes and I tried to restart/reload and doesn't really help much.

Thanks.

 

I removed all of those plugins and the server started crashing even more and faster. Any other ideas?
Because the plugin one by one method is a lot of work and it wont garuante, that the server wont crash, because it can take up to 6 hours or so for it to happen.

 

Pull all of your plugins, then re-add them one-by one.

That is the recommended approach to find which plugin is the problem.

Also, can you replicate the issue?

Try removing essentials temporarily, and see if that fixes the problem.
If not, remove all of your plugins and see if the issue still occurs.

If the issue doesn't occur, add your plugins one-by one, and see which one causes the issue.

Also, does the problem occur the moment you start the server? or does it take a while?
If it doesn't occur at startup, can you replicate the issue?

Also, this may be what you are looking for:

I've been trying my hand at writing permissions, and I have to say I'm an absolute newbie. Anyways, after writing a nice and neat permissions files straight from a template, I came up with this error, which has muddled me for about a week now. I've only just come around to look for an answer.

Code:

Server permissions file permissions.yml is not valid YAML: while scanning a simple key
 in "<reader>", line 291, column 5:
        owner
        ^
could not found expected ':'
 in "<reader>", line 292, column 20:
            inheritance: null
                       ^

If you want a pastie of my permissions file, just ask.

 

It appears like you left out a colon (":") after "owner" on line 291

A pastie would be nice if this is not your issue.

 

Ha, thanks! I feel like an idiot. I probably shouldn't be writing Permissions after 2 AM in the morning.

 

No problem.

Glad to have been able to solve your issue.

 

Bumping since I stopped receiving notifications, yet again.

 

I was wondering why I wasn't receiving notifications. Turns out that nobody asked anything on this thread.

 

@tyzoid
Hey, I was wondering, my friend owns a prison server named "Convicted" and I admin. We have 8gbs of RAM and say around 50 people average online at a time. We still get constant lag, I think it's plugin compatibility/management issues. Can I get some help/advice for this if it is the case?

 

Well, I'd a plugin list first.

Tell your friend to run

Code:

java -version

and paste the output.

I'd also need the startup arguments to the server.
Here is an example startup script:

Code:

java -Xincgc -Xmx4G -jar craftbukkit.jar
