This may be a stupid question but how do I do that. I am quite new to this sort of stuff. Ive got the backup but its in a .zip file

It was working yesterday but has encountered yet another error. This is where I think the error begins And heres the crash report If you need anything else Im happy to send it you.

I wasn't able to try to see if this worked because i was away from home but in trying to re-generate the mine together config it did not achieve anything, could there be any other reason or have i done it wrong?

ok thanks for the help

will deleting the config create any problems or risks? What would you say is the best way?

is there a way to fix that and what does that mean exactly

I created a FTB server a couple days ago and it was working perfectly fine but now it encounters a problem, i think this is where the problem is encountered.# [13:15:55] [Server thread/ERROR]
