I am new to Minecraft and am even newer to CraftBukkit. I have been able to successfully install the bukkit files into my server folder, but whenever I start the Craftbukkit server i get this. 182 recipes 27 achievements 10:19:44 [INFO] Starting minecraft server version 1.2.5 10:19:44 [INFO] Loading properties 10:19:44 [INFO] Starting Minecraft server on darkworld.com:2556 10:19:44 [WARNING] **** FAILED TO BIND PORT! 10:19:44 [WARNING] The exception was: java.net.Blindexception: Cannot assign requested address: JUM_Bind 10:19:44 [WARNING] Perhaps a server is already running on that port? > I've tried multiple other port numbers but it still doesn't work. please help.
This has nothing to do with port forwarding. It looks like you have added darkworld.com to your server.properties file for the server-ip. Don't, remove anything after the equals sign so it's blank and start again. Unless you understand what this doesn't and have multiple network interfaces on your computer you never need to set this.
