ah ok, thanks for the answer. After you asked me if I was using a forge client or the vanilla client, I had a feeling that was going to be the answer. Thanks for confirming.

Vanilla right now. I thought it may have been because I was using a modded version originally (with the too many items non forge mod) so I switched to just vanilla version. Do I have to use forge client?

I'm not sure how to fix this problem. When running the forge version of the server and then trying to log in to it using client machine, the client just sits on a loading screen. The server side just repeatedly puts "[18:57:09] [Netty IO #2/INFO]: Unexpected packet during modded negotiation - assuming vanilla or keepalives : net.minecraft.network.play.client.C00PacketKeepAlive" in the log. Any idea how to fix this. I'm using latest version of forge.

Thank you, I can confirm I'm up and running now too

I updated to forge 1.7.2.10.12.0.991 and still not successful launching minecraft server with forge. Error that comes up when I run the bat file I created is: Bat file simple does the following: And I can run the server using the above bat file but pointing to minecraft_server.1.7.2.jar just fine

Yes it is. I even tried renaming my 1.7.2 folder, recreatign it, redownloading 1.7.2 jar from https://s3.amazonaws.com/Minecraft.Download/versions/1.7.2/minecraft_server.1.7.2.jar and then downloading the newest release of forge and copying that jar to the 1.7.2 folder. The minecraft_server.1.7.2.jar runs no problem and I can log in to it from my client side computer. However Forge is still not launching.

OK, did that and looks like I'm missing libraries to run forge?

Log is empty. I cleared the log and tried running the jar file and the log file remained blank. Now I'm running the file in the path C:\minecraft server\1.7.2. The log I looked at was latest.log in the logs folder. and I don't see a forge log file unless it is not stored in the C:\minecraft server folder.

Hello All, I'm running my own Minecraft server. I installed forge-1.7.2-10.12.0.976 using the jar installer however when I now click on forge-1.7.2-10.12.0.976-universal.jar it does not open. Did I do something wrong? I guess I should say the server I'm running on is a computer I have here at my home. It's running Windows 7 64 bit. Not sure what else I can say to help get an answer. Just let me know if you have further questions.
