Hey guys, I got all the server things downloaded and all but just after I entered my IP adress to server.prop this came up:
[INFO] Starting minecraft server version Beta 1.2_01
[WARNING] **** NOT ENOUGH RAM!
[WARNING] To start the server with more ram, launch it as "java -Xmx1024M -Xms1024M -jar minecraft_server.jar"
[INFO] Loading Properties
[INFO] Starting Minecraft server on _____(ill keep my ip private)__
[WARNING] **** FAILED TO BIND TO PORT!
[WARNING] The exception was: java.net.BindException: Cannot assign requested address: JVM_Bind
[WARNING] Perhaps a server is already running on that port?

all help will be greatly apreciated?(:

Remove your IP from server.properties next to "server-ip="

I realized i tried using MCServer before i used the one off the minecraft site. Now Idk how to get it up right.

I just told you what to do....

Your suposed to put your ip there... thats how to set up the server?

No, it should be left blank.

Edit:

You're also not running the server with enough memory.
Are you running Minecraft_Server.exe ?

Why in the world would you come here asking for help and then argue with someone who offers it to you? Are you that dense?

Remove the damn IP from server.properties - your server will start up just fine.

Finally... some emotion.

I wasnt arguing I was simply saying what I knew. I went through a youtube tutorial and thats what it told me to do.

Ok, I had to back track. I had to delete the files. So I have Minecraft_server.exe and its not running without asking me what to run it on? What do I run it on java or something.

Rename the file and add ".exe" to the end of it.. if the icon isn't a block of dirt then the extension got broken when you downloaded it.

I leave the server ip blank and people still cannot connect, even if they are in my own house. my brothers can only connect if a delete the files, and the server is brand new. if i stop the server at all, it fails to bind to port......please help, ive tried a billion times.

Go to this link ....

Follow the guides.

If you still are having issues AFTER you have followed the guides, then post what guide you were using and what part you're having trouble with.

Do you have a mac or pc because on mac go to activity monitor and quit the java things that wiorked for me and mabey on pc there is a similar fix

Give them ip at whatsmyip.com and when you connect, connect with "localhost" :wink.gif:

Ahh! I'm using a mac and %1234567895345765645676567464564 of this makes no sense, but that unicorn guy helped, kinda. My friends stll can't connect to my server! I think I had another server but I deleted it! Please help me!

You do not need to set server.ip= to blank, check out the links in my sig they will explain it better.

If you're on a Mac it may be a permissions issues, what port are you trying to use?

This comment is non sequitur and not at all relevant to the situation at hand. It's nice to see Mac and PC users (Macs are technically PC's) come together and help each other. I am a user of both. To add my own knowledge to those using Hamachi do not leave the IP blank. Put the assigned hamachi IP in there and have people connect from there.

I already did that! ­ You! quit being so stubborn!
