Server not creating files

[dblhattrick]

Hi, I have forge installed (client side) forge-1.7.10-10.13.2.1230-universal version and it works fine, even with loads of mods installed.

 

I have now tried to install the same forge client but server side.  I have installed it into a folder on my desktop and from my understanding, I should click on the file "minecraft_server.1.7.10" and it should populate the folder with a few files such as EULA, etc.  However, this doesn't happen.  I have tried opening it with Java and the server does pop up but it keeps just "generating new properties files" in an endless loop and I can only stop it by ending the process!

 

What am I doing wrong?!?!

Install the forge server, and run the forge jar not the server jar.
