    You have a currupt craftbukkit jar file. I suggest going onto the craftbukkit website and download there latest build which I believe is 1.7.9 or alternatively go to spigot and download one of their builds that are 1.7.10 - 1.8 compatible.

    If the server worked before it is most likely an overload off plugins or other RAM. Remove some useless plugins or if your renting a server UPGRADE it!

  9. Boba4237sdad This advice is recommending someone to break the law. That's not exactly suited to these forums.
    rakan Best bet is to wait for a solution or switch to an alternative, there're plenty about.
    DrPyroCupcake This isn't a main manifest error, though, so could just be a corrupt jar.

    Are you sure the CraftBukkit file is named craftbukkit.jar?

    I think you need to get some computer knowledge on the Mac operating systems, and the permissions for access to files.
    I'm using big Unix servers, so I really don't know how to fix McIntoshes.
    Did you follow the instructions to install a server?

    If it says it is corrupt, then I'm pretty sure it is corrupt.

    First of all, I think you should not do an exit just after starting the server. The terminal should be open as long as you run the server, unless you put it into the background. I don't know if that is possible with a Mac.

    Secoundly, you need to check the permissions like read, write, execute for the .jar file, to make sure the current user - I assume this is rakanhabab has the right access rights to .jar file. Maybe you need to look at the owner of the file as well to see if it's root.

    Try to make a "ls -al" in the directory where the .jar file resides to see the permissions and owners. And paste the output here.

    And finally - try to rename the directory name "Bukkit Server" to "Bukkit_Server"
    java doesn't like the space in the pathname.
    Use this command: mv "Bukkit\ Server" "Bukkit_Server"

    "ls -al" is the unix command to list the files in a directory, I just assumed it would work in a Mac terminal, since the command chmod a+x was used in the instructions for installing a server.
    You need to find the right CraftBukkit.jar somewhere.
    But you might be running out of luck if you are not that experienced in how to operate a computer. If you pay my flight ticket, to where ever in the world you are, and other expense as well, I would be happy to pop in and set it up for you.

    You cant get craftbukkit anymore, the DCMA has forced Bukkit to close down all of their download links, unless someone has previously had the download theres really no way of getting it until Bukkit resolves their issues with the DCMA and Wolfe.

    Retired staff. As in, not doing the job anymore and just a regular person now.

    To answer your question though, it's like OTF Catastrophe says. There are no downloads for CraftBukkit anymore. The only way to host a server from home is if you already have a jar file from before the takedown.

    If you don't have a working jar file, then that limits your options to using completely different software (like Forge), not using anything (keeping it Vanilla Minecraft), or paying a hosting company to host your server (because some hosts still have server jars from before the takedown that they will let you use). The options suck, but that's all that's left. Oh, I guess I forgot one. There's also doing nothing and just waiting for the legal issues to be resolved...which might take a long time...or never happen.

    There's also the option to learn programming and do it yourself. Bukkit is still available, so just get the vanilla server jar file, and do a reverse engineering like the Bukkit team did. Here's a link to a decompiler: JAD 1.5.8
