    Open up server.properties and change the value next to server-port. I would recommend 5775

    I went on tube, found a copy but got this message when I ran it..... I don't HAVE a server.properties file and when I go to mc.net it just starts a :25565 server.

    i don't know how you can run a server without a server.properties file. can you please show me a screenshot of the fodler where your batch file and crafbukkit-0.0.1-snapshot.jar file is?

    Well, I used Notepad++ and made one and now it works, but NOW, it still runs on :25565 can't change that, HALF of my **** it won't load. I just made a folder, named it bukkit and moved it to my desktop and should I send everything there?

    Does a port forward have to be on the same computer the server is on, or is it okay on another computer?
    Both computers are linked to the same router.

    Ok you need to understand what a port forward is, it is not something you setup on a computer, its something that’s setup on a router. So it won’t matter what computer in your home you set it up on.

    If you want a tutorial that’s aimed at someone that would like more detail about the process please see the below video (yes I made it, and sorry about the audio) I understand you know the basics but it seems like you might be confused about the finer points.

    You change the port by changing the number in your server properties then changing the port number in the section you port forwarded it with

    What are you using to allow them on your server? i.e Hamachi, Port-forwarding...etc.?

    For me, (using Hamachi) I had to enter my Hamachi IPv4 address into my "server-ip:" section of my properties and it works perfectly fine, so for those of you having issues with Hamachi not working try this method and see if it works.

    For Port-forwarding..Yeah cant help ya there lol my router wont let me port-forward so I wouldn't know if I was doing it correctly or not.

    Your ip is not static
    Go to your router settings and make your ip static :)

    What is the file type that you are trying to open? And what type of OS (Operating System) are you running the program on?

    if i remove the ip and change online-mode to false how does my friend get on?
    does it use my HAMACHI IP or my IPv4 defualt gateway -it has some numbers then dot then number then dots.i think its an ip- IPv4 DHCP server -the same numbers and dots as the default gateway one- IPv4 DNS servers -there are 2 one ENDS in 5 and the other one ends in 6- IPv4 addres -same as default gateway but adds 02 at the end- IPv4 subnet Mask- 3 digit number. same 3 digit number. saame 3 digit number. zero-

    if you leave the ip address blank, minecraft automatically uses YOUR ip address - that makes it work even when your ip (internal IPV4 ) changes. Changing it to offline mode makes it work without checking usernames with minecraft.net. Essentially allowing cracked accounts to play the game, but also useful for lan play and p2p

    ImminentFate

    hmmm, seriously? do you want to think over the problem?

    Outdated Server means just that - an outdated server. If you have minecraft 1.9 you won't be able to join - cos bukkit is only on 1.8.1

    try re-downloading the craftbukkit-0.0.1-snapshot.jar from bukkit.org. This should fix the error. Also, you could have just used copy and paste ;) And why did you waste so much time on this instead of studying for your test? Come on lad.
    If you need help over teamviewer, just PM me, as for any risks, there are none unless you let some shady person onto your computer (not me btw)

    I dunno, kinda hard since i don't have a mac. But i might scour the internet for some idea on how to do it, although i doublt it would be too different. I mean, all that stuff is in your router and your server.properties file

    open up your plugins folder and delete the pail folder. not the jar, just the folder and its contents. Then try again
