when i try to start the server it says this
**** FAILED TO BIND TO PORT
the exception was: java.net.bindexeception: address already in use:JVM_bind
perhaps a server is already in running on that port?
and when i try my server it says lost connection end of stream
how do i fix this if anyone knows

p.s. i use a bukkit server type

You may want to start with this:

It's been a long time since I had to deal with these kind of problems, but I'm sure I can help if this page doesn't get you off the right foot.

hmm... that did not seem to work either

Ok, take a look at this post on bukkit's forums (same problem):

or this one may be helpful too (again, same problem reported):
