I use Hamachi to host the server. I've just copied entire server to another computer, and changed server.properties to match my new Hamachi IP. But it creates server w/ my old IP (Server was hosted on it looooooong time ago) server.properties: #Minecraft server properties #Thu Apr 21 20:31:12 MSD 2011 level-name=world hellworld=false spawn-monsters=true online-mode=false spawn-animals=true max-players=10 server-ip=5.79.157.182 pvp=true level-seed= server-port=25565 allow-flight=true white-list=false spawn-protection=16 My real Hamachi IP: 5.79.157.182 I run server w/ command: >iMac-AFakeman:~ afakeman$ java -Xms1024M -Xmx1024M -jar ~/Desktop/Server/CB.jar nogui OS: OS X x64 Java: java version "1.6.0_24" Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_24-b07-334-10M3326) Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 19.1-b02-334, mixed mode) CB: 802 Error: iMac-AFakeman:~ afakeman$ java -Xms1024M -Xmx1024M -jar ~/Desktop/Server/CB.jar nogui 146 recipes 16 achievements 21:06:52 [INFO] Starting minecraft server version Beta 1.5_02 21:06:52 [INFO] Loading properties 21:06:52 [INFO] Starting Minecraft server on 5.95.184.180:25565 21:06:52 [WARNING] **** FAILED TO BIND TO PORT! 21:06:52 [WARNING] The exception was: java.net.BindException: Can't assign requested address 21:06:52 [WARNING] Perhaps a server is already running on that port? >
If it can't bind to port then I'm fairly certain that means that something is already occupying the port. That could be a biproduct of your IP issue, but I'd really check your task manager and make sure there's no remnant of something running in the background. Otherwise, perhaps delete your server.properties and force it to gen a new one? I've had that solve issues where CB wasn't apparently looking at new files.
Are you expecting your properties files to be in /Desktop/Server/? I have a feeling what it is actually using is the properties stored in the location you actually ran your command from. Normally, that would be the same location that your CB.jar was in.
