Alster551 Remove all plugins first and try starting the server. Follow this guide if you still need help: http://forums.bukkit.org/threads/troubleshooting-common-problems-with-solution.44590/
Alster551 Wait, 1.5? What? What version are you trying to run, meaning what version of client you wish to use?
DevRosemberg 1.7.5* inventorman101 the version is craftbukkit-1.7.9-R0.1 EDIT by Moderator: merged posts, please use the edit button instead of double posting.
Alster551 So, if you are trying to use the 1.7.5 Client update it to 1.7.9 and use this: http://dl.bukkit.org/downloads/craftbukkit/get/02628_1.7.9-R0.2/craftbukkit-dev.jar
Alster551 Use this jar: http://dl.bukkit.org/downloads/craftbukkit/get/02621_1.7.9-R0.1/craftbukkit-beta.jar
DevRosemberg inventorman101 im using a 1.7.5 client and the jar was 1.7.5 inventorman101 still the same error EDIT by Moderator: merged posts, please use the edit button instead of double posting.
