Problem/Bug I cant start my server

I cant start my server and i have updated java to latest version but it wont start. Here is the log http://pastebin.com/indbrGrj

 

@cato11112 Judging by the MalformedJsonException in that stack trace, I think there could be a corrupt json file. Have you edited any .json files, or is this your first time running the server?

 

Its not my first time. I have been running this server fir almost 3 years now. Do you say i have to replace the .jar file i need to run the server? And no i didn't edit any .Json files

 

@cato11112 Try moving all .json files to another location (don't delete them, just move them). After making sure there are no .json files in the server directory, try starting the server as you normally do. Hopefully you don't get the error anymore. If the error goes away, slowly start putting back your old .json files back into your server directory until the error reappears. Whatever file causes the error is your problem file, and is unusable (to my knowledge).

 

Thats gonna be a big problem. I have over 50k .json files in my plugins folder. Its gonna take days to get that done

 

@cato11112 Have you at least started by moving the .json files over to another directory to see if it fixes the problem? I understand that's a lot, but if it's the problem, then there is not much that can be done.

 

I think i have to replace the .jar file. i did start the server without any plugins and it wouldnt start. http://pastebin.com/YDAK39ct

 

@cato11112 Sorry, I wasn't too clear on what i mean. Only move the .json files inside of your server's main directory. For example, just move .json files like banned-ips.json, banned-players.json, ops.json, usercache.json, and whitelist.json.

 

I did as you said and worked. For some reason the .json files was completely empty.

 

@cato11112 Glad to hear it. Was it all the .json files, or just one?

 

all eccept for that playercache file
