jackallock Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 Hey guys. I'm trying to start a server for me and a few friends and I'm following this guide: All you do is you download Tekkit_Server_2.0.zip then you extract it into a folder, and run launch.bat. Once you have done that, the server console should appear and wait for i to say "Done". Then type in the console "stop" and it will shutdown. Then you open server_properties and configure it the way you like it and put in your ip and the port. Then run launch.bat again and there you go, your server is running. Everything goes fine till I run the launch.bat a second time. I end up getting this: "Failed to bind to Port The exception was: java.net.bindException: Cannot assign requested address: JUM_Bind Perhaps a server is already running on that Port" Anyway, sorry if this is a stupid question, but does anyone know what my problem is?

mufflo Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 Hello, have that problem sometimes too. My problem is often that "Java" is already running. Open "task manager / processes" - turn off everything with "Java" - "Turn off process" - "yes" Then try start your server agian. //Mufflo Do not sign posts.

jackallock Posted February 28, 2012 Author Share Posted February 28, 2012 I shut down everything with Java in the description, but it didn't help. Any other ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thecodemonk Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 did you change the port for the server? if you did, you picked a port that is already in use. If you didn't, then the server didn't fully stop and you need to kill that process. Try doing it on a fresh reboot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackallock Posted February 28, 2012 Author Share Posted February 28, 2012 How do I change the port? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackallock Posted February 28, 2012 Author Share Posted February 28, 2012 Sorry for the double post, but is the server ip the same as my ip address? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thecodemonk Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 You can change the port it uses in the server.properties file. The IP address that your friends will connect to is your public IP address. You can find it by going to whatismyip.com. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rotzkocher Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 [...]Then you open server_properties and configure it the way you like it and put in your ip[...] don't put your ip in the server properties. that's causing the error! the place has to be left blank. if you're hosting the server at home you should get an account on something like dyndns (i'm using) and connect via an alias like 'blabla.dyndns.org' for server-ip to your server. so your friends don't need to search for your ip and it updates itself - most of the time.
