Hi everyone I really need some help here. I used to have a minecraft server without bukkit. I am trying to make it a bukkit server so i copied over the world file. However when I try to run the start.bat it always says FAILED TO BIND TO PORT. PERHAPS A SERVER IS ALREADY RUNNING? or somthing like that. It does seem to work when I have it on my Ipv4 adress but none of my friends can connect. Please help as all the tutourials i have seen are terrible. MTIA

what do you enter at server-ip? are you playing with friends and is the server hosted on youre computer or on a vps?
on my server ip I type my router IP yes i am playing with friends and the server is hosted on my pc but what is a VPS?
never mind the vps but at server-ip you don't have to type anything leave it blank then go to whatismyip.com and give that to you're friends hope it works for you
well it dosent say Failed to bind to port but when i try to connect it just says cannot connect to server
its ok i have figured it out I just needed to change the port range from (this is what is was before) 25565-25565 (TCP and UDP) to 25565-25570
