Moved Server, cannot run now

Hey guys, I had a bukkit server set up and it worked on my laptop. I then built a new desktop and transferred the server to that. I thought that i set up everything right to go with the transfer, but everytime i start it i get this error:


C:\Users\*********\Desktop\Server\Bukkit 1.7.9>java -Xmx1024M -jar bukkit.j
ar -o true
'java' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

C:\Users\*********\Desktop\Server\Bukkit 1.7.9>PAUSE
Press any key to continue . . .

 

Dwarfdude77 What OS are you using on your desktop? And is it 64bit or 32bit?

 

I am using windows 8 64 bit on my desktop, windows 7 64 bit on my laptop

 

Dwarfdude77 And do you have 64bit Java on your desktop? I also had this problem and it was solved by installing 64bit Java, previously had 32bit.

 

daavko How do I find that out? Should I just reinstall java 64 bit, and if i do, will it overwrite all previous versions?

 

Dwarfdude77 Open command prompt and write "java -version". If output looks similar to this, you have 64bit Java:

Code:

 C:\>java -version
java version "1.6.0_25"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_25-b06)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 20.0-b11, mixed mode)

If you have 32bit Java, it should look similar to this:

Code:

 C:\> java -version
java version "1.6.0_26"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_26-b03)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 20.1-b02, mixed mode, sharing)

Notice that 64bit Java outputs "64-Bit Server VM", but 32bit Java outputs "Client VM".
And I don't know if 64bit Java overrides 32bit when you install it...I think not.

 

In cmd:
Microsoft Windows [Version 6.3.9600]

Dwarfdude77 Try updating Java, if the error continues, replace "java" in the bat with (with quotes)

Code:

"%ProgramFiles%\Java\jre7\bin\java.exe"

 

Gamecube762 Clarify that last part please???

 

Dwarfdude77 In your start.bat, you have

Code:

java -Xmx1024M -jar bukkit.jar -o true

You would want to replace "java" with what I posted above.

 

Gamecube762 Ok...? This is what my Start.bat looks like now

Code:

"java" -Xmx1024M -jar bukkit.jar -o true
PAUSE

 

Dwarfdude77 Replace "java" with

Code:

"%ProgramFiles%\Java\jre7\bin\java.exe"

It should look like

Code:

"%ProgramFiles%\Java\jre7\bin\java.exe" -Xmx1024M -jar bukkit.jar -o true
PAUSE

 

Gamecube762 Aaaaaaaahhhh, it all makes sense now.

My bat file now looks like this:

Code:

C:\Program Files\Java\jre7\bin\java.exe -Xmx1024M -jar bukkit.jar -o true
PAUSE

My error message now looks like this:

Code:

C:\Program Files\Java\jre7\bin\java.exe -Xmx1024M -jar bukkit.jar -o true
PAUSE

 

Dwarfdude77
Did you add your java bin path to your PATH environment variable?

 

Gater12 .....I thought so... remind me how to do that again?

 

Dwarfdude77
Computer Properties -> Advanced -> Environment Variables.

There should be a Path or PATH variable. Add onto it with the your java bin path. Remember, separate paths with ;

 

Gater12 Ok, I put

Code:

C:\Program Files\Java\jre7\bin\java.exe

into the PATH variable, and I get the same error. (Yes, I did save it)
