you whant to make a server so you think: Hm.... I whant to make a server whit plugins so i will use bukkit!

then you spend 3h on the computer woundering why it doesnt work.

it is so simple! follow the bukkit guide but when you make a bat file(64bit) this is it: @echo off
"%ProgramFiles(x86)%Javajre6binjava.exe" -Xms1024M -Xmx1024M -jar craftbukkit-1.2.3-R0.1.jar nogui
pause

this is what you put in your .txt file

HERE IS THE PROBLEM.You Shout!

I know so look at this: @echo off
"%ProgramFiles(x86)%Javajre6binjava.exe" -Xms1024M -Xmx1024M -jar craftbukkit-1.2.3-R0.1.jar nogui
pause

that is the name of the 1.2.3 crafbukkit but if this is a newer update just copy the name of the craftbukkit and replace the current name.
