Unable to access jarfile craftbukkit.jar

^Its a .bat file


Why it dosent work?

 

When you issued that "java" command from the prompt, you were sitting in the "C:\Windows\system32" folder and THAT is where java was looking for craftbukkit.jar since you did not specify a drive or folder with the filename.

I cannot tell where your craftbukkit.jar file is actually located from the screenshots but since it is not with hundreds of other files, its obviously NOT located in the system32 folder. And don't put it there either, it is a protected folder.

If you have the file in C:\CraftBukkit\craftbukkit.jar then the batch file below will work for you as is without modification. If not in that folder, then simply edit the path at the top of the batch file to point it in the right location.

The batch file automatically favors newer versions of java over older ones if you have multiple versions installed. It also favors 64-bit versions over 32-bit if both are installed.

start-server.bat
