Impatient a bit are you? This is not a chat room. This is a message board. Make a thread/post, wait an hour or two. Then check back.

Good things come to people who wait.

 

kk thnx man

 

did some one end up helping you with this yet if so could you tell me because iam getting the same error

 

Beside the fact that as far as I am aware that error is sort of self explanatory I will explain it for you.
All that is saying is that it can't find the craftbukkit.jar file. To fix the issue:
- right click on your .bat file, and open with notepad or notepad++ and see what the .jar file is being called in there. It should be craftbukkit.jar
- Then look in the root of your server and see if you jar file is called that.
So basically make sure the .jar file is in your server root and also make sure it is named correctly.

 

also make sure that you actually have a craftbukkit jar file

 

ok i tried what you guys said but it is now just saying unable to access jarfile craftbukkit.jar do i need to have my port open or something like that

 

no, it means it cant find craftbukkit.jar. So open up your server folder, and make sure your craftbukkit file is named craftbukkit.jar and not craftbukkit-1.2.5-R4.0.jar or something

 

ya it's named craftbukkit.jar iam really don't know whats wrong maby my computer can't run a server or at lest thats what iam thinking now thanks for your help but iam probly just going to give up on this thing now

 

before you give up, do you normally see file extensions on your files?
Do you see "worddocument.doc" or just "worddocument"
If you see the second one, then rename "craftbukkit.jar" to just "craftbukkit"

 

1. Check the path for spelling errors
2. check if the file actuallu exists.
3. make sure the path in the .bat matches the file path
4. enable "show file extensions" in windows. If your craftbukkit.jar is called "craftbukkit.jar.jar", rename it.

If all of the above didn't work:

Hey please help me out.. it does not seem to have a .jar file at all for me to work with.

 

Screenshot the folder.

 

Hold on a second. Also I have a question.. would this server work with cracked versions that I have used to connect to normal servers before? And my Craftbukkit folder has 16 files in it. Not sure if I am missing some.

you're missing the damn craftbukkit file
Why don't you go get that first??
http://dl.bukkit.org
download it and save it as "craftbukkit.jar"

 

LOL. Oh my bad. xD First time making a server sorry..
But also now it says http://vvcap.net/db/gIyh9mrU5erF2zeuKiQx.htp
any ideas of what to do? I think i changed the codes in the started properly but still does that. http://vvcap.net/db/kUqPB4mky6WbYEbU0G3E.htp

 

the file you downloaded, did you actually NAME it craftbukkit.jar?

 

do this get the craftbukkit.jar file and put it in a new folder.
open notepad or notepad++ and put this in. make sure u have java 7
Echo OFF
SET BINDIR=%~dp0
CD /D "%BINDIR%"
"%ProgramFiles%\Java\jre7\bin\java.exe" -Xmx1024M -Xms1024M -jar craftbukkit.jar
PAUSE

 

I did name the file craftbukkit.jar so I will try out Jacklin's idea.​

 

Make sure, if you are naming the file craftbukkit.jar that you can SEE FILE EXTENSIONS.

So many times people forget that they have file extensions hidden, and as a result have their file named craftbukkit.jar.jar.

 

How would you go about enabling file extentions?

 

go to control panel and go to Folder options then go to the view tab and find the one which says "hide extensions for know type files" and untick it
