Troubleshooting thread moved to the Bukkit Wiki Here:

If you have read this wiki article, and think your problem lies outside of what is outlined, you probably have a plugin issue. However, read through this and ask a question on the forums if you feel your question is still unanswered. While I will not tolerate blunt rudeness in response, it is UP TO YOU to do your due diligence when searching for help.

Thanks @Archelaus @pyraetos @saul100 @Perdog tyzoid @Acrobot and everyone for the additional tips and solutions. Please keep them coming.

 

Error: Java is not recognized as an internal or external command

Fix: Replace java with the actual java.exe location so that your start.bat will look something like

Code:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre7\bin\java.exe" -Xms1024M -Xmx1024M -jar craftbukkit.jar -o true
pause

Instead of

Code:

java -Xms1024M -Xmx1024M -jar craftbukkit.jar -o true
pause

 

TnT , since all of the content in this thread has been moved to the wiki, shouldn't this be a candidate for a lock?

 

While I do hope that people would add to the wiki article, I have no delusions about that happening all the time. So we leave this open, for now.

I will admit, I would love to see the wiki article expanded with screenshots to aid in troubleshooting.
