Server crashes before it can even start (Mac)

[scoutthedog]

Here is the error that I get. it loads quite a few things but then after a while it just crashes. It seems to work fine if I run it using just the .jar file but since I want to increase the amount of ram that it gets using the .sh file, this seems to happen.

Does you launcher load the modpack just fine? (Ruling out setup related problems)
Did you follow the instructions here to set up the server?
http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Tutorials/Setting_up_a_server#Mac_OS_X_instructions

 

[scoutthedog]

1) Yes, but the server crashes before I can connect to it, the error is in the startup (definitely server-side)
2) I know how to set up a standard minecraft server, I've have a craftbukkit server for years, (getting bored, wanted some mods) but now i'm trying to get ftb. The error you see there is in the terminal window.

 

[Ashzification]

An FTB server is a vanilla server. The setup is EXACTLY the same.
You download, you extract to folder, you run.

 

[scoutthedog]

right, so setting up the server isn't an issue then because I obviously did that correctly because I know how to do it on a vanilla server that's all I was trying to say. --->WHY DO I GET THIS ERROR MESSAGE AND WHY DOES MY SERVER CRASH???<---
