Installing mods into server?

[Teraku]

So ever since 1.3 came out and SSP and SMP were merged, I've been wondering:

Is there any way to install mods, specifically Technic, into a Vanilla Minecraft 1.4.2 server? I like playing Technic with friends, but I find the Open To LAN function a bit awkward and I prefer having access to a console window. I've already tried copying the contents of my technicssp folder to the server launcher's folder and then adding the contents of modpack.jar to minecraft_server.jar, but that obviously didn't work.

There HAS to be a way to do this, especially since mods work just fine when opening to LAN.

On that note, I need a 1.4.2 server jar. I think Mojang simply kept old versions on their amazon servers, but I can't find a link.

Any way to do this?

Not sure about the server jar, but your problem is probably that you forgot to install the jar mods, specifically Forge. It doesn't come in the mods folder, but it's extremely important.

Like I said, I added the contents of modpack.jar to minecraft_server.jar. In Technic, minecraft.jar itself remains untouched and gets loaded into memory, then patched by modpack.jar. By that logic, everything should be installed. But I think my main problem here is that I tried to install 1.4.2 mods into a 1.4.4 server. So I still need a 1.4.2 jar, anyone know where I can get one legit?

I know this is a weird solution, but the FTB modpack has a 1.4.2 server with forge. You could replace the configs and mods folders with the technic ones.
