[Syrox]

Hello, I am having a problem setting up a modded minecraft server with the mod terrafirmacraft on my VPS, There is to problems, the first one is that I can't connect to the server, it says can't reach server when I add it to the minecraft server list.

the second is my bat file wont start the jar file.
the code for the bat file is: java -Xms1024M -Xmx1024M -jar terrafirmacraft.jar.

please answer fast.

kind regards
Fredrik.

Sounds like the server isn't running.

You might want to try putting the full path to java if your on a vds.
Use java.exe instead of just java.
Not sure what the other arguments are but here's what we use for our miniecraft.
First is different than yours, but maybe someone can explain exactly what they are.

Code: Select all

"C:\Program Files\Java\jre7\bin\java.exe" -Xincgc -Xmx1G -jar minecraft_server.jar

Remember, if your using 32 bit or 64 bit, java location is different.

I know the server is running since when I launch Minecraft_Server.jar without the bin command/launcher it loads properly and says done but I still can't reach the server when I add it to the list in minecraft server list and connecting through direct connect don't help either.

Have you specifically allowed java through the windows firewall? It blocks all connections by default.

I haven't touched the firewall att all, how do I make so it allows connections through?

I don't think you'd need to touch the firewall - I never did when I setup a vanilla minecraft server, or any other server for that matter.

I shouldn't need it and I've checked java is allowed connection through the firewall.
