Alright, my port is open and I've downloaded Minecraft SMP.
The Minecraft server log tells me that all I need to do is type in "java -Xmx1024M -Xms1024M -jar minecraft_server.jar nogui" to start up my server, but when I do this in the command prompt (with java replaced with the specific pathway to java.exe) it gives me the error message "Unable to access jarfile minecraft_server.jar"
What can I do? I've already successfully set up a Minecraft Classic Server, but I can't figure out what's wrong this time.
Thanks for the advice, but I don't quite know what you mean. I'm rather inexperienced at this sort of thing. As far as I can tell, minecraft_server.jar resides only in "Downloads" under "Users." Can the command prompt not find it there?
I got the same error then I moved the Minecraft_Server.jar file to my User folder and got this error message.
java -Xmx1024M -Xms1024M -jar ./minecraft_server.jar nogui

Then I moved it to my desktop and opened it as a jar file. It created the server properties and server log files. But did not work. Then I changed the IP in my server properties, it didn't work. Then I typed in the launch server command into terminal:
I'm having a similar problem.
Im using Windows 8 btw...it sucks
anyway, I double click start.bat
(I followed the instructions on thw wiki page that's on minecraft.net)
when I click it, it tells me it cannot access jarfile minecraft_server.jar.
Im pretty sure the system path is working, I mean, it does lead to java.exe.
I followed the section of the wiki called
Start the Minecraft server (.jar version)
and when that did not work I followed
Starting the jar version without altering your system path
and idk whats wrong. please help, try to explain with less technical terms.
right, but when I ran it but it didn't work so then it hit me I'm not running minecraft_server.jar I'm running minecraft_server.1.6.2 jar so you can either rename the jar to just minecraft_server.jar or edit the code to
I'm having a similar problem. I launch the .jar and it says 'The Java JAR file"Voltz.jar" could not be launched.'
Then I try the launch.sh and it says 'unable to access jar file Voltz.jar'.
I can't figure out how to fix it.
P.S. I'm on Mac OS X 10.9 and I'm using a 1.5.2 Forge Server

Does anyone know what to do?!?!?! I really need this server to work for my new series on Youtube.com/user/3434boys
Subscribe! lol u don't have to subscribe but it would be appreciated
youre going to make sure your script / bat file is in the same folder as your server file. and then also whichever name you have youre server file called change that to match what is in your pbatch. script file. or edit the script file to match the full name of you server. for example if i have a server launcher called server.jar ill have my start script that says.
I'm having an issue with it not accessing the jarfile. I found out that no matter what I put into the "run" document, the command prompt will still say that it's unable to access the jarfile. Does this mean that the jarfile (forge-1.7.10-10.13.0.1180-universal) is corrupt or what? What do I have to do to fix the issue?
Oh man am I having problems with this. I run windows 7 64 bit processor. I have my server folder on the desktop. I just want to add some more memory so that it isn't quite so laggy when more than 2 people are on. Here's what I am doing:

Before someone mentions it, the program is Minecraft Server
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
seems like you two have a similar problem . what you need to do is rename the jar file to whatever your starup looks like as i said before if your jar file is name minecraft_server.jar your startup file should also read that as well -XmX2g -Xms2g -jat minecraft_server.jar you can rename the jar if you want to. also to allow for less lag youre going to have to provide more information on your computer it could be that your computer just inst fast enough or you dont have a good enough internet connection. with 1 gig of ram to the server it should adequately host 2-3 people eeven with 500mb to the server it should do just fine. maybe try that more ram doesnt ALWAYS mean better. remember how much goes to your game and cpu process you dont want the game and the server to hog up everything because youre also running windows even and whatever else you decide to run along side of it and that can hinder the server. check your computers load by looking at the performance with ctrl+shift+esc. maybe its just running too hard to run everything at once.
I am doing this from Ubuntu and I realized that I didn't actually take the direct name of the server jar file... I simply copied and pasted the command Mojang gave me on their downloads page... After I realized this, I went back and copied and pasted the name of the server jar file (for me it was "minecraft_server.1.8.3.jar") under the correct directory and it worked perfectly! I just had to change Mojang's command from "minecraft_server.jar" to "minecraft_server.1.8.3.jar"... Maybe you overlooked it like I did? Hope this helps (though it should be common sense and once I figured it out I face-palmed like crazy)!

this worked for me hopefully this will work for you.
It has something to do with the voltz.jar file. Try redownloading it again here (assuming your using latest recommended voltz): http://mirror.technicpack.net/Technic/servers/voltz/Voltz_Server_v2.0.4.zip
