Solved Having issues hosting a server (Blastoff pack)

[HiZombies]

ive looked at the FTB/hosting website (no link because 1st post) followed all the steps but cant connect to the server even from the hosting machine (have tried the global IP, local IP, and 127.0.0.1).
I've managed to get a vanila server working before and connected with port forwarding but cant determine the issue with the FTB one.
I have tried editing the batch file and removed the "nogui" tag but the GUI doesnt pop up, any ideas.
Thanks HiZombies.

OS: Win7 Pro
Sever type: local sever (on my pc) using software from FTB website
FTB version: Launcher - v1.4.12; Pack - v1.3.3 (MC version - 1.7.10)
Pack edits: N/A
Sever Specs: on my pc so not fully dedicated but RAM:16G; CPU: 4core AMD FX4300 3.8GHz; GPU: AMD radeon HD 7800 series; Ethernet

Edit: using task manager can find no java running on PC

Does the server even startup? Can you provide the console log from the server?

it doesn't launch and I get no console log, I can send the cmd output later (not at pc atm). However the java launches temporary then closes.

Please do. Also, look and see if there is a latest.log file in the logs folder. If there is please use pastebin or paste.feed-the-beast.com to post that log.

Wow... You have some issue. Since the server is PC can you check to make sure your anti-virus software isn't causing an issue. The logs indicate issues reading files and downloading things. Best thing to do is put an exception in your AV software to not scan the directories used by the server.

Also, are you using the start.bat file that came with the pack to launch it or are you using something else? The reason I ask is because of the #java instead of java on the last few lines of the of the command output you posted.

C:\Users\Jon\Desktop\FTB Server>#java -server -Xms512m -Xmx3072m -XX:PermSize=25
6m -XX:+UseParNewGC -XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC -jar FTBServer-1.7.10-1231.jar
'#java' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

I'm using the batch file but I've tried using just "java -jar FTBServer-1.7.10-1231.jar -Xms512M -Xmx3G" rather than the default because I didn't understand the other tags, to see if they were causing the issue, I then tried to comment out the old one with a "#" which was a silly move on my part

I tried temporary disabling my antivirus then launching server nothing changed

OK So lets try this just to keep it simple and clean. First, delete the logs folder and let it recreate. Then from the command line use the following two lines to run it.

cd C:\Users\Jon\Desktop\FTB Server

java -server -Xms512m -Xmx4096m -jar FTBServer-1.7.10-1231.jar nogui

Then post the new logs it creates.

This is the logs it created https://www.dropbox.com/sh/6ni1txlwjb567xe/AAAiMkMIg0W8JCgoHIzOUA4ba?dl=0 ; it also made a latest.log but it was empty

This is weird. But the only thing I can recommend at this point is to delete the server directory then re download the zip file for the server and try it again. Something isn't right. I tested a fresh download of the 1.3.4 server this morning at home and it worked with no issues and I just used the serverstart.bat file to launch it. I even went as far a downloading the client and logging into the server with. So I know the current downloads out there are working.
