Tekkit Server Help

[theLargeCow]

Hey guys I'm trying to make a server for a few friends to play tekkit on. and untill today I had been getting a variation of errors when running launch.bat that included it telling me java heap size wasnt big enough, it cant find java, java doesnt exist, java isnt a command, etc. Today I got launch to run(i think) it ran and showed me instead of an error a long wall of text that i read had something to do with forge. I ran the server, got the port up and everything but when I join the server I tried to test whether tekkit was working because my toomanyitems and minimap were but when I tried to spawn random items from tekkit like the conveyor belts and the florescent lightbulbs it told me that there was no item of that ID. I'm at my whits end here buds any help is good help

1. You need to run tekkit with one of the launch scripts: launch.bat (on Windows) or launch.sh (on Linux).

2. When using java 8 and 1.6.4 Forge together you need this to run it properly. Put it in the mods directory.

how did you make it so it didnt do this?

Invalid maximum heap size: -Xmx4G
The specified size exceeds the maximum representable size.
Error: Could not create the Java Virtual Machine.
Error: A fatal exception has occurred. Program will exit.
