Thank you Lorinthio but it still seems to have failed. I followed it but even from the beginning I could not follow it exactly. The Eula file is not created when I do as it says so I cannot even complete the beginning steps. I tried following the others, just skipping over that since the file did not exist, but nothing happened. The dialog box I normally see when starting a server didn't even pop up for a second. It just created more crash logs in the log folder. I tried following what you said for it to ignore the GUI but it still gave me the same GUI error.
I recently got back into Minecraft and my friend wanted to play along with me so I decided to set up a server. Well, I downloaded it from the official website, put it in a folder, and double clicked like a normally did. Nothing happened. Double clicked a second time and 'logs' finally popped up. Did it about five more times. Nothing. Decided to check the logs because, obviously, something wasn't right. I went into the forums and everyone kept mentioning Eula. It's a fresh server and it never created any file named Eula nor have I ever heard of it before now. ( Last time I created a server was . . . probably sometime early last year? ) Anyways this is what the log said:
