    I'd like to apologize in advance if you get this question too much or if this sounds incredibly stupid.

    So I have a server right now that isn't using craftbukkit, though I have used it in the past, I got rid of it to update it, but when I started looking for tutorials on how to get craftbukkit on my server again, I just kept finding tutorials on how to create a new craftbukkit server, which I don't want to do. I tried downloading the jar from somewhere on this website and putting it in my server and tried installing plugins, but they didn't work. Can anyone help me?

    JWhy

    just put the craftbukkit.jar into that directory and create a start.bat with the java launch command

    It's saying it can't access the jar file.

    JWhy

    use this start.bat:
    Code:
    java -Xincgc -Xmx1G -jar craftbukkit.jar
    Then get this, move it to the server folder an rename it to craftbukkit.jar (without that -1.1-snapshot)
    You should have at least world/, start.bat and craftbukkit.jar in one directory

    Alright then I double click on the start.bat do start up the server? Because when I do that it just opens it up like a text folder and shows me what I put in. I double checked and it is a .bat. Should I just start it up like I normally do?

    When you're in notepad, do save as and save it with the name just "run.bat", and in the box under where you enter the name, make sure to select "All Files", then save it. You don't have to name it "run.bat" too, it can be anything you want, e.g. "startserver.bat" (since when you save it, it might conflict with the file you already have open).

    Did exactly what you said and all that happens is a little terminal thing pops up then instantly closes.

    Make sure the .jar file you downloaded for craftbukkit is in the same directory as the .bat file, and that the name is "craftbukkit.jar" without the quotes.

    But when I do that and double click on the .bat, it just opens it as if it were a .txt, even though it isn't.

    Then you didn't do what I told you to..

    If it opens as if it were a .txt, that's when you change it to be "craftbukkit.jar" to match the name of the craftbukkit file you downloaded and put in the same directory as the bat file. Then do File > Save As, name it something like "startserver.bat" (no quotes), and in the dropdown box under where you entered the name, select "All Files".

    Then try to open startserver.bat.

    That is exactly what I did.

    Here, I just did it. Download this, then give it a try:
    http://emeraldsmc.com/labs/startserver.bat (right click & save as.)

    Tell me if that works. If it still opens up as if it were a notepad document, then your computer might have an issue of how to open it.

    I finally got it working, but another problem is present. I started it up using the startserver.bat and when I try to connect, I can't connect with the usual info I use... I can start up my server the way I did without bukkit and that still works too... Which is odd...
