FTB Server Downloads

[Tunacatsubmarine]

I have downloaded the Direwolf20 1.7.2, Resurrection, Monster, Direwolf20 1.6.4, Horizons, and Techworld Servers, and have found that only the Direwolf20 1.7.4 and Resurrection versions work. I suspect that when the other server files were packaged, not everything was included. Please look into this. I am specifically looking for a functioning version of Monster (See Server thread here for troubleshooting steps already taken).

Just downloaded the monster server files and it runs like expected.
using java 7 windows 7.
If you are using java 8 then try this.

Hey, the link you posted helped a great deal, I appreciate it!!
Just one final question. So I believe I've gotten the server up so I can play locally, but how would I go about getting it so my friends online can join?
I've already set up port forwarding on my router, as well as gotten my public IP address, but when I enter the IP address into server properties, with the correct Port, I get this message:
http://pastebin.com/uQPhsdxu

Any thoughts?

Edit: In the pastebin code, replace XX.XX.X.XXX with my public IP address, didn't feel like sharing with the world

Check if there is already an program using this port

I haven't set any other programs for this port. How do you propose I check if another program is using that port?

Skype's a surprisingly common culprit for port stealing, albeit more common for web servers. Torrenting can be a problem as well, as both will often just pick a random port on startup and go with it.

Anyway, bring up command prompt (windows key + r, then type "cmd" and hit enter). Type this in:

netstat -a -b

Under local address, look for something with: <anything>:25565
Then, look on the next line for the offending program. Check the settings of that program, most all have a way to modify which port they use in advanced settings somewhere.

Disclaimers:

• If you can't find an offending program, then... I don't know Can't help there
• This'll only work on windows, but Google will probably reveal alternative instructions if you look for "netstat for <OS>"

EDIT: Also, you can do windows key+r and type "resmon.exe", press enter. Under the networking section, there are programs with the ports they're using.

So I downgraded to Java 8 Update 11, and it solves the binding problem. But now when I start the server, it hangs at "Loading NEI".

Actually, I know the netstat command works on Mac OS X (I have a Mac and have used the command in the past, and I just tested it again) and I'm pretty sure that it also works on Linux.

Huh.
I just couldn't be bothered walking 2 metres to my linux box to check

Problem solved. Fresh OS Install. Thanks for everyone's help and input. I appreciate it!
