Ftb won't read Cauldron

[sqitchy]

It's a sad day. After 12 hours trying get it workings I'm here :/ I watched every YouTube video, read every tutorial, and can't get it to function one bit. I know im probably missing a minor detail, so I have high hopes.

In short when I followed the instructions and start the server, it doesn't run anything. It just give me Error: Failed to find Cauldron

Here are the steps I followed.

1 download the monster server and extract it to a new folder.

2 download cauldron from the installer to the created new folder(same place I put the extracted files from the monster server).

3 now all I've done was add the cauldron.jar, a minecraftserver.jar, and a folder to the ftb monsterserver
folder.

4 At this point I'm told to do one of two things. One I can open the start server.bat file with note pad and change the part that says ftbserver to the exact name of the cauldron file. Or I could rename the already made ftbserver file to that of the cauldron one.

None of this worked. I can't get the startserver.bat file to understand cauldron exists in the folder. And since I changed the name of the ftbserver file, the startserver.bat doesn't understand ftb exists.

If you want to use Cauldron, you have to do something with two Mods. First Mod is Opis, the second I don´t know - Sorry I use MCPCPlus. Everything you need, you will find here ---> http://cauldron.minecraftforge.net/threads/compatibility-with-mobiuscore.156/

Thanks for the input. I understand I have to get the latest version of opis, and mobus, but I haven't even got to that part. I can't get past the middle of this process.

I'm stuck in the part where ftb is supposed to acknowledge and understand that cauldron is running instead of forge. When I start the server I only get one paragraph. Within it it says Error: Failed to find cauldron.jar.

I'm going to have to try new method. That method being FTP and filezilla.

I don't understand how changing any file names would make a difference whatsoever, and I guess I'm to dumb to understand the tutorial on the cauldron page.

I´m too - I hope you will find here somebody who could help you with your problem. And sorry about my bad english, I can´t it and use a translator.

Success! I got it to work perfectly.
Turns out I was attempting to add cauldron to my already existing server, instead of a fresh one. I just copied the world from my old server to my new one once I was done. Ill type what I did for anyone else.

1 Download the ftb server.
2 Download the cauldron launcher that's the same version of your ftb. Mine was 1.6.4
3 Extract the ftb server to a new folder.
4 Open the cauldron launcher and click install server. Then save it to the same folder as your fresh new ftb server.
5 Open the new folder and delete the file that says FTBServer-1.6.4-965
6 Now chose to edit the serverstart file, and change the part that says FTBServer-1.6.4-965 to cauldron-1.6.4-1.965.21.164-server
7 Be sure to keep the .jar at the end when you change the FTBServer-1.6.4-965 text.
8 Run server

If your running monster, obviously go to the mod folder and remove the disabled text from the names of each mod you use. I also downloaded MobiusCore_1.2.2_1.6.4 and replaced the old version under mods.

To use your old world just replace world folders once you get the new server up and running.

I also installed essentials and essentials group, and finally configured those to. I've never programmed anything in my life so I'm amazed at my small amount of skill. *Happy dance*
