Failed To Bind To Port

Hello, My server always used to work but now i got the newest Minecraft version so i need the newest Craftbukkit too, now today when i try to start the server it says :
[INFO] Starting minecraft server version 1.1
[INFO] Loading properties
[INFO] Starting Minecraft server on *:25565
[WARNING] **** FAILED TO BIND TO PORT!
[WARNING] The exception was: java.net.BindException: Cannot assign requested address: JVM_Bind
[WARNING] Perhaps a server is already running on that port?

Yes i do have the newest Java version, Yes i have portforwarded, No there is no Java.exe or Javaw.exe in the processes list, Yes the serverip= is blank in the server.properties, Yes i have rebooted my computer many times, Yes I've tried changing the port but it still failed to bind. So i'm asking for your help and i hope i will receive an answer soon how to fix this.

 

My guess is that, 25565 port is busy. try changing port= in the server.properties file to 25566.

 

Like i already said, i have tried changing the ports alot but it still doesn't work.

is the "server-ip=" node empty? Because if you enter an invalid ip your sever will give u a similar error.

 

Have you read and followed the directions in this post?

 

Yes i have read that, and yes the "'server-ip=" node is empty . This is the server log :

I'm having the same problem, and as Kartal did, have tried everything I've seen on other web pages. There is nothing helpful out there. I really hope someone can solve this soon.

 

...
to the person who posted this thread in the first place! I needed my port forwarding to work and I had my router IP in the properties! Thanks for telling me this! How could I have overlooked that ?
I wish I could help YOU now

 

EDIT 1:your [sever errors] is 50% caused by outdated sever
u realised your sever is outdated n u need to enter ur forwarded exturnal ip in the "sever ip="
and if it still doesnt work turn "online mode" to off
