You probably forgot to rename the new jar to "craftbukkit.jar"

 

I renamed it craftbukkit.jar and still it doesent work

 

And the .bat file is in the same place as the jar?

 

In the same folder? Yes

 

"Error: Unable to access jarfile craftbukkit.jar"
This means it can't find craftbukkit.jar
Please make sure the craftbukkit file you downloaded is named "craftbukkit.jar" and also make sure the run.bat file is in the same folder as craftbukkit.jar
(Pretty much just been covered )

Read below:

If it's still not working, try putting this in the run.bat and tell us what it says:

Code:

@ECHO OFF
SET BINDIR=%~dp0
CD /D "%BINDIR%"
dir /B *.jar

 

Still doesn't and do I just add the

SET BINDIR=%~dp0
CD /D "%BINDIR%"
dir /B *.jar
into the run.bat or delete the whole code and put in SET BINDIR=%~dp0
CD /D "%BINDIR%"
dir /B *.jar?

And sometimes when I try to start it, it says The system cannot find the path specified.
Press any key to continue . . .

It doesent let me see what it says like it dissapears in honestly a milasecond

Replace the entire run.bat with that text, save it and then run it.
It should out one line of text, simply copy and paste, or write it here.

Oh sorry, add PAUSE to the end of the file

Code:

@ECHO OFF
SET BINDIR=%~dp0
CD /D "%BINDIR%"
dir /B *.jar
PAUSE

 

Says craftbukkit.jar.jar
Press any key to continue . . .

 

Remove .jar from the end of craftbukkit.jar and try again.

You need to enable extensions so you can actually see the real .jar (It's why it shows 2 when using that command.)

 

Now it says
craftbukkit.jar
Press any key to continue . . .

Btw I really appreciate the help so far

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

 

Now simply replace the run.bat file text with the old text:

Code:

@ECHO OFF
SET BINDIR=%~dp0
CD /D "%BINDIR%"
"%ProgramFiles%\Java\jre7\bin\java.exe" -Xmx1024M -Xms1024M -jar craftbukkit.jar
PAUSE

Hopefully your server should now be running.

Hi i Need some help i'm seeing some players i think using the new 1.4.2 Development build for craftbukkit and for some reason my server that i did have running is now just saying Error: Unable to access jarfile craftbukkit.jar. I have tried everything i know about java and path variables and matching my batch with my version of craftbukkit and everything is the way its suppose to be and still i get this message. does anyone know what is wrong here?

 

I am having the same problem as Lilliputian and i really need help. PLEASE RESPOND! Thanks

 

IT worked thanks!

 

Very old thread, but I'll reply anyway. Most of the issues are caused by the heading to the file. All you actually need is:

Code:

@echo off
java -Xmx2G -Xms2G -jar craftbukkit.jar
pause

and that always works for me, good luck!
