I've scanned the forums and performed a number of searches, but the terms make for difficult search results without ambiguous answers. This forum appears to be the best suited for my questions. If that is not the case, please advise.
It's been a couple of years since I've played Minecraft and I've forgotten an incredible amount! I've been tasked with creating a stand-alone server for a library project, an independent wired network of six player stations and a dedicated server. The server is an HP running Windows 7 64 bit (with 64 bit java) and 8 GB system memory, a terabyte of drive space and no other applications installed. The processor is an AMD A6-3620, although I don't know if that's a good performer.
This will be as plain vanilla as one can make a server, but I'm not averse to suggestions for improvement via simple plug-ins or mods or whatever they are called.
I was able to install the server software and connect a test workstation using my minecraft sign-on. I felt that was a good sign. I'm now "opped" on the server, for obvious reasons. There's a lot of good information on the 'net for these small details, but my understanding is generally lacking.
The library desires a non-violent gaming environment, and I've found an adventure map named The Redstone Path which appears to meet those requirements. Again, following information from the 'net, I copied the world files into the server directory after removing the default files and backing them up to another directory. According to what I've read, the folder is to be named "world," which it is.
I can connect with my (likely underpowered) workstation to the server using the appropriate IP address and port number. I'm dropped into the map but not where the video for The Redstone Path would begin the adventure. This happened before I raised myself to op. If I have to dis-op myself to perform proper testing, that's not a problem either.
I've made a few edits in the server.properties file, but can't be certain I haven't scewed up something in the process.
Am I in error to believe that a player on this server can be spawned at the proper location for the adventure? If I'm not in error, how does one set the spawn point for such a configuration? I don't have the coordinates for the spawn, but are they needed?
I'll stick to one question at this time. I have only a few weeks to make this work, including testing in the library as the eventual goal before 'launch'.

I am interested in helping
Thank you for your reply. Are you able to answer the question about making the adventure map downloaded (copied) to the server perform as it should?
The link to the map is here:
The Redstone Path
It would be great if this is the only stumbling block in the process of getting the server to work properly.
I am sorry, I can't help
