Server Help

[Kaida]

I hope this is the right place for this.

I've been trying to get the server running, and have followed a few threads advice as to how to do so. however no matter what i do i always get this:

Dunno why.

Looks like java is not in your environment variables. I'm not going to explain how to do that as I can never seem to put it into words properly. But it's easy enough to just launch it without the environment variable set.

Assuming your using Java 7 x64 you can use:

"C:\Program Files\Java\jre7\bin\java.exe" -Xms512M -Xmx1G -XX:PermSize=128m -jar ftbserver.jar

If your using Java7 x86, just use:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre7\bin\java.exe" -Xms512M -Xmx1G -XX:PermSize=128m -jar ftbserver.jar

You should probably check those flags and the memory allocation. You wont get very far only allocating 1GB to your server.

what am I doing with those, typing it into .cmd?

Assuming you ran the start script that comes with the server files.

Edit it in notepad. If you don't have notepad++ yet, you should get it

this is what happens now.

it's not like i'm bad with computers, but i just cannot figure this out for the life of me.

Good start, you have java running. There's not much I can help with without knowing your PC specs.

How much RAM (total) does the PC have?

 

[Kaida]

six GB. http://gyazo.com/12fe930e52bc5e46a0eebeb7c50e1371

also thanks for all the help. <3 stressing this all day. would you believe it took me like three hours to forward the port? >.>

Edit: set it to 2g of ram, that came up with this:

This is my FTB folder.: http://gyazo.com/56eddabe8c88ace729cafff91d796a66

it's right there. <.<

That's showing because the script is launching in system32 so it's not aware of the ftbserver.jar location

add:

cd "C:\ftb\server\"

To the start of the script

 

[Kaida]

all right, the server launches now. but you said it won't get very far on that much ram..so how much should i give it?

edit: http://gyazo.com/17dcef9e1aabfba80c54a35503e00989 what is this. <.> i downloaded all the mods.

 

[Cozza]

I noticed you gave it 3GB. That will be okay for a couple of players.

You can't really give it much more if you have 6GB total. You need to reserve some for the OS.

If your playing on the same machine you might run into troubles.

 

[Kaida]

all right. is there any reason why it's not downloading these mods?

Make sure your client and server versions are the same.

Your probably trying to connect a 1.1.2 client to a 1.1.3 server or something similar.
