    The setups have undergone some major changes, check them out at the top of the thread! The changes include the updating of the CraftBukkit download, extension corrections, and more!

    Did you follow the instructions in the "README" and download it to your CraftBukkit folder?

    If you want help, please answer the questions I ask directly. I didn't ask you to open the download link, I asked you if you downloaded it.

    If you want more help, please answer these questions and post them here (or send them to me in a message).

    Huh? (OK so I'm new to minecraft...and well... I'm not a whiz at computers either... )
    I follow the given instructions.
    I open the 64-bit starter, and it throws tons of information at me (I expected this)
    but then it stops...and I get this message under the server file:
    2011-02-18 12:18:34 [INFO] Starting minecraft server version Beta 1.2_01
    2011-02-18 12:18:34 [WARNING] **** NOT ENOUGH RAM!

    2011-02-18 12:18:35 [WARNING] Perhaps a server is already running on that port?
    So what do I do to fix it???( I'm using Windows 7)
    The command list thingy ended like this:

    2011-02-18 13:01:31 [INFO] Generating new properties file
    2011-02-18 13:01:31 [INFO] Stopping server

    you may already have the server running/another server running on the ip or the ip address is incorrect ie: its not the one you will find here
    (side note: you may want to increase the amount of ram to the server like the log says )

    how do you change the server ip or the server port? And how do you launch something as? (and the ip address is the same btw) AND how do you increase the ram??

    If running the server off a computer I suggest using a static ip to connect to the internet, change your servers ip in the server properties file in the root server folder you don't need to change the server port but may need to forward it and make sure there are no firewalls blocking it. what do you mean by "And how do you launch something as?" Are you talking about launching the server with more ram? because you can change that in what ever file you click to start your server or by manually entering the startup code into the console.

    But the problem is that there is NO server properties file at all! And whats a static ip address? And I dont get what you mean by: "you can change that in what ever file you click to start your server or by manually entering the startup code into the console" But thanks for the advice so far.

    how do you start your minecraft server right now? what do you click? the server properties file should be created on launch of the server and be found in the same folder as bukkit and the plugins folder. do you have ops.txt and banned.txt?
    O and a static ip is one that doesn't change might not be a problem for you at all on a small network.
     
  13. Offline

    Thatfail

    You double-click the sever application. Ya its there. No I don't have ops.txt or banned.txt
    The ip address is
    79.240.252.117

    But I'm already using that for another server

    then your problem stems from the fact that you are not using bukkit (your clicking minecraft.exe or something like that right?) reread the guide on how to do it you should end up with a bukkit.jar file in a folder and a server stater file you click to start the server. the server starter file should have something along the lines of: "java -Xms1024M -Xmx1024M -jar craftbukkit.jar nogui"
    if you are clicking that and you have bukkit then it may be that your server never gets to the stage of generating thoose files in which case its strange that it would attempt to bind to a nonexistent port

    well if your minecraft server is attempting to use that ip then there will be a failure to bid to port error like you have

    Nononono, I'm clicking on 64-bit STARTER and its not generating the files and the server properties' ip thing is blank, and when i try to open
    craftbukkit-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT it doesn't do anything except load, not open anything.

    Thatfail said:
    The ip address is
    79.240.252.117

    But I'm already using that for another server
    well if your minecraft server is attempting to use that ip then there will be a failure to bid to port error like you have
    Well, how could I change the server ip address and it work?

    dak393

    ok well you shouldn't click on craftbukkit, open your 64-bit starter with a text editor and tell me what it says. So you do have a server properties file? and the ip section is blank (and there's text in the file that lists options right)
    edit:
    is the other server a minecraft server? you may be able to change the port of this one and be fine if that is the case although I am not an expert on running multiple servers on the same ip

    that's strange try posting it to pastebin. whats different?
    The log is also stating that it can't print out the log do you have a server.log file?
    and read my edit to the previous post

    Yes I have a server.log file but its not filled in with anything.
    It repeats some thing like: at net.minecraft.server.Propertymanager.a(or)b<PropertyManager.java: (either) 61(,)53(,)76 (or) 68. Paste bin doesn't do anything different..

    downside is having to type :"thenewport" after your ip

    1. Change your IP address
    2. Make sure your router is portforwarded.
    3. Uninstall and re-install CraftBukkit, then follow the instructions in the "README".

    You can find everyone you need with Google.
