1.2 Minecraft Update

I do not know how to Update my Minecraft Server from 1.1 to 1.2 I have tried to do it but it was an epic fail. Now when I try to revert it back to the way it was it still will not work. Please help me

 

Unless you are experienced with updating, I would just wait until they release a recommended build for 1.2. At that time, the plugin devs will have had the time to update and have updated to 1.2, which will make updating smoother

 

this update updates your worlds/saves as well, so to go back to 1.2 you will need to use the backup you made of them before you ran the server with the 1.2 dev build ;

 

No I mean how do I actually make the Update? I have the Jar and everything I just dont know what to do next. I know it has something to do with the Start.bat But I dont know what to edit in it please help me im confused.

 

Change your Start.bat ( Right click and EDIT ) so that it targets the .jar ( Craftbukkit.jar )

 

I tried that it and it says Cannot Access craftbukkit1.1-R6 Jarfile

 

Change your current .jar file to CraftBukkit.jar and then try it.

 

Still does not work.

Im gonna post my .bat Text again

Echo OFF
SET BINDIR=%~dp0
CD /D "%BINDIR%"
"%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Java\jre6\bin\java.exe" -Xincgc -Xmx1G -jar craftbukkit1.1-R6
PAUSE

 

Change "craftbukkit1.1-R6" to the name of the .jar file.

 

I checked and it is the same but it is not working

DD Figured it out. I didnt have the .jar after the name of the jar file in the .bat Thankyou for ur help

Now it says I cannot Bind to port. and that another server is running on that port? Does that mean I must use my jarfile from before?

EDIT by Moderator: merged posts, please use the edit button instead of double posting.

 

The IP in your server.properties is most likely wrong.

 

But I didnt mess with it at all while I was Updating



* The line where it says IP: in my server properties was blank. But it worked before so...
I put in my IP and it still will not work

 

Go into Task manager and end the processes that say Javaw.exe*32

And the try.

 

Didnt Work

 

Fact is, you never shut down your old server before attempting to run the updated one. The port is in use and its obviously the old server, until you close it, your stuck with it.. Restart the machine and then run the updated server.

 

That worked. Your a good person TY. Now I gotta work on Plugin Update Or do they not update untill a recommended build for 1.2 comes out?

 

I was wondering, are there any permissions plugins for bukkit dev version 1.2.3? I couldn't find any and it's sort of essential.

 

Maybe... Not sure.

 

bPermisisons and PermissionsBukkit should work fine. Dunno about PEX.
