Hi, I'm using the CraftBukkit software to make a Prison server on my Windows Vista desktop. I keep trying to double-click the 'run.bat' file and what it says is 'C:\Users\Minecraft Dude\Desktop\Bukkit>java -Xms1024M -Xmx1024M -jar -craftbukkit.jar -o true Error: Unable to access jarfile true C:\Users\Minecraft Dude\Desktop\Bukkit>PAUSE Press any key to continue...'. I'm wondering if the bold words indicate that I entered something wrong in the run.bat file and I want to know what (if it's incorrect) to put in to make it run properly.
My computer isn't seeming to allow me to do Ctrl+V to paste the screenshot that I took using PrintScr on my keyboard. Can I put the information on here manually for you? The server directory is the following: (list implied) white-list server server.log.lck server.log.2.lck server.log.2 server.log.1.lck server.log.1 server run (the run.bat file) permissions ops help craftbukkit.jar bukkit banned-players banned-ips world_the_end world_nether world plugins The following is what comes up when I double-click run.bat: C:\Users\Minecraft Dude\Desktop\Bukkit>java -Xms1024M -Xmx1024M -jar -craftbukkit.jar -o true Error: Unable to access jarfile true C:\Users\Minecraft Dude\Desktop\Bukkit>PAUSE Press any key to continue . . .

"...please paste the contents of your run.bat file" was asked as well. What comes up doesn't matter much compared to what you're trying to do. Select the craftbukkit.jar file, right-click and get its properties. Make sure its not craftbukkit.jar.jar in the full filename (windows can hide extensions sometimes and you've got two) Also, indicate how big the filesize is in bytes and let us know what version of craftbukkit you are trying to run (1.6.4, 1.7.2, 1.7.9, 1.8.3 etc) - its possible your file is way too small to be a launchable craftbukkit file (and may indeed be not a craftbukkit file at all)
Yeaah, that doesn't sound right. Craftbukkit for 1.7.9 rolled in at 19,xxx,xxx and the current spigot-build craftbukkit is at 18,xxx,xxx A 12meg file hasn't been the case for years. The file may be corrupt, or is not a craftbukkit.jar after all
Make sure you're getting the Craftbukkit.jar from spigotmc.org. I do not recommend trying to find a pre-compiled jar, as there is no guarantee that it matches the current release that Spigot has put out. Instead, be sure you're using their method to get your jar files: Go to spigotmc.org and download BuildTools.jar Have GIT installed on your computer. Do a git bash, and run java -jar BuildTools.jar Wait a few minutes while it does its thing, then: You'll have the most up to date versions of Craftbukkit, and Spigot directly from the source.
@Boomer I just took a guess, so you're most likely right. I downloaded it from softonic.com, so it's probably the wrong type of file. @BaltimoreCalling is the file that says BuildTools.jar (June 10, 2015) the correct file? okay, I'll try How exactly would I run the BuildTools.jar through bash? (I'm sorry for asking so many questions, I'm new to this stuff) So, what do I do with the files work, Bukkit, CraftBukkit, Spigot, BuildData, apache-maven-3.2.5, and mvn.zip? EDIT by Timtower: merged 5 posts, has to be a record
@Boomer Even though Spigot has perfectly good instructions, they can be a bit hard to follow. @rockrboy121 I made a video on how to obtain Spigot/Craftbukkit 1.8+, here is the video
