Noobs trying to set up Tekkit 2 server

[feloblod]

Hey I'm having trouble setting up the new Tekkit server.

I've downloaded the client (works)

I've downloaded and extracted the tekkit 2 server

But there is no exe file.

Am i missing something?

Meh i don't use Windows computers but try running the .bat inside the Tekkit_Server_2 folder and see what happens...

He's just too good for us Windows users.

Hah! Im not trying to start a pissing match between what people think is the best OS (We all know its linux anyways) I'm just saying I don't use windows computers (not that I'm too good for them ¬¬).

If you are using linux windows might be too good for you.

If you are using linux windows might be too good for you.

That was a joke, and honestly, I don't see what people have against linux. If you know how to use it it could potentially be far superior to both OS X and Windows (in its own fields it already is superior). By the way I'm on OS X so I'm not a linux fanboy...

just run the file called

launch

[feloblod]

Im on windows and when i run the launch the cmd says:

Error occurred during initialization of VM

Could not reserve enough space for object heap

could not create java virtual machine

press any key to continue...

press a key and it shuts down

any ideas?

How much RAM does your comp have?

[feloblod]

4GB!

Having a similar problem but here is what I get, I am guessing it has something to do with a 32 bit file on a 64 bit comp...

just a thought but you might want to update your java or install jvm 32 and 64 if you don't already have it, or you could d/l java 7 and see if that works.

I agree.. if you know how to use Linux, it can be far superior to Windows. After all, windows is the layman's access to OS functions. Anyone that ran on DOS would understand that.

I think the server launch batch tries to allocate 2-3 gigs of ram by default. A 4gig system is probably just barely enough to run a tekkit server. RAM is dirt cheap right now. I'd suggest investing in at least an extra 2 gigs. I'm assuming you have windows 64 bit. If you are running 32 bit then you are probably SOL. You can't go over 4 gigs on 32 bit and I thought I read somewhere that you cannot allocate more than 1 gig of RAM to any process in 32 bit windows.

I was at 4 gigs and just added 8 more and I'm now running the server with 3 gigs starting, and 6max. as well as running a client with 2gigs allocated. Works great ^_^

this fixed my issue

hope that helps

ok lol my server says

"cannot bind to port"

I changed the server ip in the server file to my ip address and left the port at 25565

any help?

it also says "perhaps you already have a server running on that port?" but i dont

[teamplur]

i don't think you need to input any ip address there. it server should be available on your IP address on it's own

[gcity306]

I run a tekkit server on 1gb and still have 500mb over! I disabled mobs and use. Ptweaks

Hi dylloop,

Have you got a Static IP?

If you have you then need to port forward, visit portforward.com, this teaches you how to set a static ip and how to forward a port so others can connect.

Cheers tiarnia

It fixed it

Thanks

you have open javaw processes open your task manager and kill them

this happens sometimes when the server don't shut down correctly or just randomly it seams ...
