I can't start my Business Elite private server anymore...

[JC_the_Tekkie]

Hi,

I have been running a Business Elite private server through Hamachi so my daughter and I could play in the same world, a while back I started getting a "Failed to bind port" error on restart of server after a crash, I re-installed Java and it solved the problem (the first time) but that didn't work again next time I wanted to start the server... So then I deleted all the server files and started over and that worked... but you can imagine how annoying so I did my best not to shut down the server.

This problem seemed to disappear for a while, meaning things were normal, until yesterday, I got fed up with the sound, - it had been echoing something awful - so I decided to re-install my sound drivers which required restart. So sure enough afterwards the dreadful "Failed to bind port" was back, so I tried re-installing Java: no luck - so then as usual I deleted the server files and restarted the server - except now nothing happens, well a few files appear in the folder and that's it...

Anyone know a cause/solution to this? I'm just about to wipe my drive and re-install my OS...

I appreciate any help in this mater, thanks in advance - (btw: the sound is good now though, on single player)

Update... Not sure which of the things I did worked, but I got the server up and running again! woot! Only thing thing is the launcher says it can't connect - that it's doesn't have the mods required... the single player version also crashes now - seems I put down one too many solar panel... guess I shouldn't have updated the mod pack... Well one week of this crap is too much - it's time to move on to the next game...
