[Solved!!]Cannot launch server for the first time!

Roborooskie · October 7, 2012

Title: Cannot launch server for the first time!

Version: 3.1.2

OS: Windows 7 Home premium 64Bit

Java Version: Java7

Description of Problem:

I recently went from bukkit to Tekkit, but I cannot start the server at all. I click the launch bat and It seems to try and start the server and then it just stops and tells me : Press any key to continue . . . when I do the cmd just closes down. I tried reinstalling java, I downloaded latest tekkit version (I downloaded it 3 days ago), I tried ajusting the Bat file to specify where Java is... Also, I adjusted the RAM it may take to something lower too.when I looked up the problem I didnt know what to specificly search for, what I tried to search for just gave me problems from people that tried logging into a server. but mine is starting my server... I am not an expert on these things... I hope I posted it correctly now, Thank you! (ps, this is not a launcer problem right?) ps: I DID instal newest java version and it says its fully updated!

Error Messages:

java.lang.NullPointerException ( I guess?)

Error Log:

You have to fiddle with your configuration and RAM settings with this. I had the exact problem, but changing the RAM

in the batch file fixed it for some weird reason...

Roborooskie · October 8, 2012

I had already changed the RAM to 1gb before by changing 4G to 1G, now I changed it to 1024M to be sure, still did not work.

Here is what is in my launch.bat:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre7\bin\java.exe" -Xmx1024M -Xms1024M -jar Tekkit.jar nogui

pause

It still isnt working.

did I do something wrong? what should I change in the config folder?

Thank you!

YourEverydayWaffle · October 8, 2012

Have you ever opened up your computer and changed the ram? If not, then try this:

java -Xmx1G -Xms1G -jar Tekkit.jar nogui

pause

Weirdly enough, this works for me...

Roborooskie · October 8, 2012

Nope, my pc is rather new (bought it slightly more than half a year ago). I'll try this, Thanks!

Edit: if I put in what you tell me it gives me this:

C:\Users\Roborooskie\Desktop\Server stuff\Tekkit server!>java -Xmx1G -Xms1G -jar

Tekkit.jar nogui

'java' is not recognized as an internal or external command,

operable program or batch file.

C:\Users\Roborooskie\Desktop\Server stuff\Tekkit server!>pause

Press any key to continue . . .

if I change the last part of mine with yours it gives me the first error again...

YourEverydayWaffle · October 8, 2012

Try replacing the ENTIRE batch file with what I said earlier.

And make sure you never use the "tab" key in a batch file, because that might cause a problem if you did.

Roborooskie · October 8, 2012

Thats what I first did...

YourEverydayWaffle · October 8, 2012

Oh...

Well, hosting a server on a PC is pretty tough to do...

Go to Start, Control Panel, System and Maintenance, System.

Under Memory (RAM) it'll tell you your amount of RAM. From that could you tell me how much ram you have? That would help a lot!

Roborooskie · October 8, 2012

4gb RAM, though I used to have a bukkit server, I switched to tekkit since it had all the neat plugins... the bukkit server was up and running within 10 minutes... I dont think its the RAM.

YourEverydayWaffle · October 8, 2012

Okay, I think I know what it is. Download the latest version of Java. You might not have it. Once you do that, change the batch file to what I gave you before and it should work.

Roborooskie · October 9, 2012

I have java7 and the latest update (it told me I had latest version when I tried to update it)xD I tried that before...

YourEverydayWaffle · October 9, 2012

Wow... this is really strange...

Roborooskie · October 9, 2012

I know, its also very frustrating cuz I have like a dozen people waiting on the tekkit server to be done... xD Thanks for your help though :)

Wendo · October 10, 2012

If you're using the java in Program Files (x86) it means you're using 32bit java. With that you can't allocate more than 1.5GB anyway.

Install 64bit java, make sure that's whats used to launch the server and see how you go

Roborooskie · October 10, 2012

ok, uninstalled java, went to site, downloaded the 64bit java7, changed launch.bat to:

"C:\Program Files\Java\jre7\bin\java.exe" -Xmx1G -Xms1G -jar Tekkit.jar nogui

pause

and still no go...

still gives me the

C:\Users\Roborooskie\Desktop\Server stuff\Tekkit server!>"C:\Program Files\Java\

jre7\bin\java.exe" -Xmx1G -Xms1G -jar Tekkit.jar nogui

What should I do? did I do something wrong?

Edit: Technic launcher stopped working somehow? was this becouse I changed the Java thing?

Wendo · October 11, 2012

Have you tried downloading the server again, just to make sure you don't have a corrupt download?

That's about the only other thing I can think of.

Technic may be remembering the the old java version, although as long as java is in your path I would expect it to still work, reinstall that too maybe

Roborooskie · October 11, 2012

hmmm, i tried downloading it again, atm I am at my 4th download or so, still no worky. I reinstalled java twice now, doesnt work... what to do...

dbone415 · October 12, 2012

I had this problem to recently all I had to do was make a new server and add in the world files from the old one... It was the only way that I could fix it. But after that It worked like a charm!!!

Roborooskie · October 12, 2012

It never ran before xD I dont have any tekkit worlds to put in.

edit: I tried bukkit worlds (just to be sure) and they didnt work (who wouldve thought xD).

Ugh still not working :(

Magister · October 17, 2012

try remove the "!" from the file path for your server location and rename the folder to match

C:\Users\Roborooskie\Desktop\Server stuff\Tekkit server!>"C:\Program Files\Java\

slowsun · October 17, 2012

Hey man, Follow this :

/Fixed ;)

Roborooskie · October 17, 2012

Nope, still same bug, didnt work...

slowsun · October 18, 2012

Damn, it worked perfectly for me and I had the exact same error

Magister · October 18, 2012

as i said try taking the ! out of your path, if you tried googling the first line of your error you would have found this

http://forums.bukkit.org/threads/server-crash-instantly-help.99285/

a link to a bukkit forum where they have the exact same output for errors

if that does not work for you then move the entire folder with corrected name to the root of your c:\ drive and try running it, that will rule out any issue with directory structure.

Roborooskie · October 21, 2012

Magister you are a genious, I removed the ! and it worked xD how could a simple ! do all this?

Tristram_27 · February 22, 2013

omigosh ive been looking for the solution to this for a while! freaking stupid exclamation mark! thanks a lot for figuring this out!
