Problem Server Crashes on Startup

[Jobboman]

My server crashes every time I try to start the game up, as a result of trying to place stone conductive pipes in the game.
Opening the file in an FTB-friendly version of MCEdit and removing them doesn't fix the problem.
Does anyone know what I could try to do to fix it? Thanks

Go to your config folder and rename the forge.cfg to forgebackup.cfg. rerun the server.

I did that, and the error I got next is as follows:

Ok. So the crash messed up all your configs. If you still have the original .zip for the server, extract just the config files and replace the ones in your servers config folder. If you added any mods, delete those config files to regenerate them.

If you made any config changes, hope wrote them down. Your going to have to redo them.

I did that, but it seems like startup errors just love me recently...

This is bringing me back to the original problem about the conductive pipes being placed

P.S. Thanks for helping me out with this and responding so quickly!

 

[Eyamaz]

Np.

You said you removed pipe already with mcedit? Remove the gregtech machine also.

It's lagging a bit and some of the blocks got deleted/replaced by standard blocks, but other than that it's working fine! Thanks so much!

Same issue here. Console: http://pastebin.com/pfZYWBRs

Not sure if it's the exact same issue. This happened to me when i wanted to update my server. I removed all configs, coremods & mods and uploaded the new ones.

 

[Smackzter]

Just tried running it with just the ServerStart.sh that comes included with the FTB server package and it ran fine. Appears to be a Multicraft problem or JVM flag problem?

 

[Eyamaz]

It's an issue with multicraft. Unfortunately, I have never used multicraft, so I don't know how to fix this.

 

[Smackzter]

Switched to MCMyAdmin, no problems at all.
