My server keeps rejecting access. It works on the same network on a different computer, so it's not the network. I've tried turning off the firewall. NOTHING WORKS HELP ME!
Step 1) Open up command prompt on the computer running the server, a guide on how to do that is here.
Step 2) Grab your internal IP address by typing ipconfig. A guide on
Step 3) Open server.properties from your Minecraft servers folder, it is in the same location as the plugins/ folder, and your spigot.jar.
Step 4) Take the IP address from Step 2 that looks like 192.168.1.XYZ and place that on the line that says server-address=.
Restart server, test your connection via www.canyouseeme.org - if after this, you receive a failure message from canyouseeme, you need to complete your port-forwarding on your router. A guide on port forwarding can be found here.

The word "localhost" is often confused with "127.0.0.1" - Technically speaking they are both Localhost, in the same way that both a Toyota and a Honda are cars. However, there are major differences. localhost - the word; often refers to a socket based connection, which is software, not networking. Whereas, 127.0.0.1, is networking, and uses a network card (so to speak). Be sure to only use the word localhost, if you're actually talking about a socketed connection, in all other, and most often, use the numbers 127.0.0.1
Additionally; specifically in Minecraft, when leaving the option "server-address" in server.properties blank, it defaults to a socketed localhost connection, and does not bind to an IP address. In the event you wish your server to connect to ANY available LAN connection, you want to fill in 0.0.0.0 (good for servers with multiple physical connections and multiple IPv4 addresses.) - In almost all circumstances, you want to manually specify which IPv4 address to connect to: ie 192.168.1.XYZ or 10.0.0.XYZ - or even your externally assigned IP address if you do not utilize NAT addressing. (If you have a home router, you're using NAT and need to look for 192./10.
When I loaded up my server it didn't. I think it's stuck on trying to make new files and doesn't let anyone join while it's doing it. Is it possible to make my own files manually?
I also know that it isn't the firewall or the network that's all i really know
I disagree, check on host machine to see if the computer thinks the network is public or private. by the sounds of it, the computer sees it as public, which hides it from other machines. in that case, you need to set it to private, which allows other devices on the same network to see and connect. If that doesn't work, then you may be correct. I only found this out recently and hope it helps.

I'm using localhost

I think it't the server not letting anyone join. i've tried to join on different computers and it doesn't work. Servers on other games work though.

If anything is blank in the server properties will it still work?
Yep, sure will.
if the ban list, white list, usercache, or op list are gone, will the server still work

How do i fix it?

I set the network to private but it still doesn't work.
The server page glitches when I try to full screen it, it's mostly repeated anyway
Does the server even see the connection attempt?
I don't think so. Whenever I try to connect to it nothing comes up in the log.
how did you chack the network setiing?
I went into settings and changed it.
I literally can't it doesn't work when I try to scroll through it.
I don't think the server.logs generated, like the other files
try running it without the gui
batch files work best for this
this is not going to fix tge problem, but will make it easy to copy as it would be in the console instead of what you used( and is actually faster)
batch files just run lines of code in the console. i cant remember how to do it, but if you search, you can find lots of tutorials.
