So, I made a server. Everything went good, but whenever I put my IP address in the server properties and open the server it just says something like "Error. Failed to bind to port." What is bindng to port and how do I fix it?

remove your ip from the server properties file and also close any versions of java that are running in the task manager. Then restart the run.bat file.
Fail to bind to port usually happens when there is a version of java that you loaded that is using that port; which didnt close properly the last time you started the server.
If you arent too familiar with the task manager, restarting the computer should also suffice.

THANK YOU SO MUCH! I have been looking everywhere for an answer to this! It turns out windows task manager showed that javaw.exe was still running!
