Issue with running the 1.17.1 Forge server.

[SaltyLucky]

I installed the Server using the forge-1.17.1-37.0.13-installer.jar from the Forge files website. The first issue I encountered was attempting to install the server in a folder on my desktop, while the .jar installer file was still in my Downloads folder. 

The issue was resolved by moving the .jar installer to my desktop (same area as the folder it's extracting files into).

Second issue (the one I can't fix), is that when attempting to run the server, it would state that it "Could not find or load the main class @user_jvm_args.txt" though the file was right there in the same folder as it.

 

I understand that Forge 1.17.1 is still in Beta, just wondering if this issue is resolvable (and if so, how it might be fixed) or if the server portion isn't an actual functioning piece yet.

Thanks - Salty

Is your downloads folder a OneDrive/GoogleDrive or something like that? That's my first guess for your issue running the installer directly from your downloads folder. I just downloaded that same version, and ran install for both client and server (from my downloads folder, Win10 Home), and it worked flawlessly.

Which version of Java are you using (java -version from the commandline should show it)?

For MC/Forge 1.17, I used the latest Java 16 from AdoptOpenJDK.

Nah it is the C:\Users\(User)\Downloads folder, it was in a folder inside a folder etc., maybe a few too many for it to handle.
Wasn't aware that it would require Java 16, I don't remember reading anywhere that it needed it and I know past Forge servers haven't required it.

Regardless, all works now! Not having Java 16 was the issue. Thanks for the help

No Diesieben is right (Source: I fixed the issue) the issue was paths were being encoded for http (replacing http-illegal characters like spaces with encoded forms, space in this instance is encoded to %20)

As for the other person's issue there is very little info there and regardless I'd prefer you made your own topic with as much info as you can give
