forge server not opening

[DogeHypah]

hello so i just installed java 17 yesterday and now my 1.16.5 forge server wont start, i then tried to remove java 17 because i already had java 8 but it still doesnt work. Java isnt even recognized in my pc, when i tried to load forge installer it just asks me with what application do i want to open it with.

Some zip managers like to take control of the .jar file extension away from Java.
Make sure you have Java installed and try running Jarfix once, then try the installer again.

that did work but my server still wouldnt start.

run the server from the command line and post full output

You installed Optifine on a server. Optifine is a client-only mod. After that your server ran out of memory.

is there any way to increase memory?

if im correct, you have to create a .bat file then put 

@echo off
java -Xmx8G Xms6G -jar forge-1.16.5-36.2.28.jar nogui
PAUSE

into it. if i am then its not working.

Put "where java" (without quotes) in the bat file on a separate line before the pause, the post new output.

Your Java installation is borked. Uninstall Java completely. Then reinstall Java from https://adoptium.net/.,

youre a borking legend, thank you very fricking much.
