I am so amazed that now some players WANT pay-to-win. Its so flipping stupid.
You'll understand when you are an adult having to spend ten hours or so at work then come home and making dinner and getting the kids to do their homework and bathe and all that jazz. You finally get some peace and quiet to play Minecraft for half an hour or so before hitting the sack so you'd rather not have to waste that time just trying to collect resources. You want to get right to building or whatever it is you want to do so you buy what you need. Heck, I don't even have most of those time sucking constraints (I work from home and my kid is off to college) and I still happily paid $65 for a "King" rank on a server I play on because I value my time and just want to build cool stuff... not waste time spending hours digging stone.

It's not very helpful if we do not know the values of your variables. When I push a ZIP file via PHP, I do:
$file = "thefile.zip"; header("Content-Type: application/zip"); header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=$file"); header("Content-Length: " . filesize($file)); readfile($file);That works fine for me. The ZIP doesn't arrive messed up or anything.

1. As he already corrected you on, no, that's not accurate.
2. It was the manner in which you said it that prompted my reply.. "and I established".. as if your preferences were more important than the OPs in his own thread.
3. Kids on the internet don't get to me. When I'm not calm, you'll know it lol

If the IP in his router or on his computer has changed, the server would still start with no problems. Minecraft doesn't know or care what the IP configuration is like unless you specified an IP in server.properties file. If he did, and that IP is no longer valid, the error would be different. This error means something else is already listening on 25565.
OP, the fact that the port scanner said the port is open is proof that something else is listening. More often than not another server instance is going. Try opening a command prompt and typing:
Then see if that makes any difference. If it still gives that error when you try to start the server, while in the command prompt type:
The part after -ano is a pipe (shift then backslash key, looks kinda like a colon). That will give you something akin to this:
The number at the very end is the important part. That is the process ID of the program using the port, in this example 11724. Type:
So in the example above I'd type tasklist | find "11724". I have a server running, so when I do this I get:
So java is what has the port open. If you did the taskkill, java shouldn't be running so it may show something else. If you want to just close it out, you could type
Obviously replacing 11724 with the number associated with the program listening on the MC port.

Uhh.. this isn't your thread. Not to be rude, but your desire not to pay is therefore totally irrelevant. OP wants reasons to go with paid hosting.

You cannot host a service without sharing your public IP address. Well, maybe Hamachi would work to obscure it, dunno since I've never played with Hamachi. I'd recommend against it not because of any worries about sharing an IP address but because being on a home internet connection if you go public and advertise your server everywhere you may get some of the jerks who like to DDoS servers offline. Your home connection won't be able to handle it. You may get lucky though and not get those jerks, who knows. Personally, were I in your position of not having any money I'd ask my parents to pay for real hosting and work off the money around the house doing chores or something like that.

What he said. "I need help" is rather vague. Dynmap works right out of the box so what needs configuring for you? All you do to install Dynmap is throw the jar in plugins and start the server. It auto configures itself to operate on port 8123 so after server is up you go to server-ip:8123 and you'll have your map. Then give yourself permissions and you're good to go.

Logs show anything when you try the cmd or during server start?

Yup. I read your statement as being literal heh. Oops.
Yea, BlockParty doesn't work that way. Extract the blockparty zip to your hard drive. Connect to your host. Upload the BlockParty.jar to the plugins folder, then make a BlockParty folder in the plugins folder. Put all the rest of the files from the zip in that folder.

Of course they can, but stereotypes don't come into existence out of random chance after all

Pay rate? Expected hours? Job description? Requirements? You're a bit vague.

It looks like an encoding problem.
EDIT: Googled it, yep, that's what they say over at SpigotMC: https://www.spigotmc.org/threads/weird-a-symbol-Â-i-suspect-encoding.13921/#post-148295

If you only downloaded plugins where the version matched your Spigot version, you wouldn't have a lot of plugins. Many plugin authors don't keep up to date, but they still work. BlockParty is one example. I run Spigot 1.8.6 but BP 1.8.1 works fine. Also, BlockParty doesn't require Vault it requires WorldEdit minimum. BarAPI and NoteBlockAPI if you are using some of the other features.
As to your problem, do you have a BlockParty folder in your plugins folder? If the folder you have is BlockParty_ then some numbers, rename it to BlockParty. If you have no BlockParty folder at all, you likely extracted the zip without preserving the folder structure. In that case, make a BlockParty folder in plugins and move the BP files into it, all save the jar.

karlzhoa314 said it all. I'd just add that I, personally, would get an SSD upgrade if you're using a regular drive because I assume you do more than just Minecraft with the computer. When I went from a normal drive to an SSD I was pretty happy with the general Windows performance increase. Boot times, responsiveness, just generally more "perky". Just do your research and be sure you choose quality drives.

You need a colon after the Member group name title on line 3.

Glad to hear it. But I kinda doubt anyone was really waiting with bated breath since July wondering if you figured it out
