How to RUN Bukkit server?

*sigh* boy, do I need a lot of help these days.

I recently built a regular Minecraft server yesterday and got it to run (yay) on port 25565 on my IPv4 address, but then I realized I needed a BUKKIT server for the plugins I wanted. I set up a Bukkit Server folder, installed CraftBukkit.jar, and downloaded the following plugins and put them in the plugins folder:

Essentials, RankDisplayNames, AFK, ChatClear, Clearlag, CraftedBans, EasyWarp, LWBack, UBPrefix, and Utils_v1.0

So then I went to the "Direct Connect" option and typed in my IP with port 25566 (I was told to use that for 2 servers on the same computer), and the connection was refused. So I went to the server log and apparently it's connecting to:

***.***.*.**:49291

Why that port? How do I get it to work on my computer? I know how to run a regular server, but how do I RUN Bukkit?

Assuming it worked fine on port 25565, but not 25566, my only conclusion is you have port 25565 forwarded, but not 25566.

Hope this helps

It does help, but how do I forward both ports at the same time so I can keep both servers running?

I recommend running BungeeCord to have more than one server running on one port. I can help setup if need be! Message me! Hope that helped!

I hear it's only for Spigot. Is there a download link for Bukkit? Thanks anyways.

Change bukkit.jar to the name of the craftbukkit file you dragged into the server folder.

It still comes up with the same error, except with the name of the craftbukkit file instead of bukkit.jar.
I tried:
craftbukkit-1.6.4-R2.0 (1), craftbukkit-1.6.4-R2.0, craftbukkit.jar, and craftbukkit-1.6.4-R2.0.jar

The first name is the full name of the file.

The server won't change ports, are you seeing something like:
192.168.0.12:port lost connection
?

As for your batch file, put PAUSE at the very bottom of it and post what pops up when you run it before it tells you to press a key to continue.

Why on earth are you trying to ping Java...
Don't bump so frequently

1. No, I didn't see anything like that, but the port number kept changing even though I put it at 25566.
2. This is what it says:

C:\Users\ Dell Owner 6\Desktop\My server>java -Xmx1G -Xms1G -jar bukkit.jar
Error: Unable to access jarfile bukkit.jar

C:\Users\Dell Owner 6\Desktop\My server>PAUSE
Press any key to continue . . .
3. I thought the problem was with Java, since it showed up in some system errors.
4. Sorry about that.

Bump...

Problem still not solved. The server keeps changing ports, start.bat closes every time I open it, and I still can't connect.

Okay, so, deciding the problem was with Java, I went to cmd and typed :ping Java. Here are the results.

C:\Users\Dell Owner 6>ping Java

Pinging Java.Home [198.105.244.23] with 32 bytes of data:
Request timed out.
Request timed out.
Request timed out.
Request timed out.

Ping statistics for 198.105.244.23:
Packet: sent = 4, Received = 0, Lost = 4 (100% loss).

I did it again and received the same results. How do I fix this so that I can run my Bukkit server?

Mine is only 32-bit. It won't let me update past Java 7

I double-clicked the start.bat file, but every time I do, it opens and then closes right away. How do I fix this?

1. Create a folder named "My server"
2. Download CraftBukkit from dl.bukkit.org Though I will recommend spigot from spigotmc.org (Spigot is improved craftbukkit with more features)
3. Drag and drop your downloaded jar into the folder "My server"
4. Create a text document with the extension .bat Eg. start.bat
In the start.bat write the following. java -Xmx1G -Xms1G -jar bukkit.jar or if you want to use spigot then java -Xmx1G -Xms1G -jar spigot.jar
5. Run start.bat and your server is now running!

Question: how do you run "start.bat"? Do you just double-click it and keep it open?
Other than that, thanks tons for the help.
