[SORTED] server error FML missing signature data forge-1.8.9-11.15.0.1719

[OldAndSlow]

Hi,

 

I'm trying to install the Forge server on a Windows 10 pc but am running into problems.

 

I'm using forge-1.8.9-11.15.0.1719-universal.

 

If I run the vanilla Minecraft server it appears to work ok and a Minecraft user can connect to the generated world.

 

If I run the Forge server the user can't connect. There is one error that I can see in the server log and this is it:

 

[main/ERROR] [FML/]: FML appears to be missing any signature data. This is not a good thing

 

This is the command I use:

 

java -Xms1024M -Xmx2048M -jar forge-1.8.9-11.15.0.1719-universal.jar -d64

 

 

I have a feeling that maybe the initial installation has not gone correctly. I have repeated the installation several times with the same results. The install log shows some Java Exceptions. This is one example:

 

java.io.IOException: Server returned HTTP response code: 403 for URL: https://libraries.minecraft.net/net/minecraft/launchwrapper/1.12/launchwrapper-1.12.jar.pack.xz

 

 

I've basically run out of ideas as to how to fix this, does anyone have any idea as to what I am doing wrong?

 

Thanks

 

Max

Ok, I had another go at seting this up with this version:

forge-1.8.9-11.15.1.1722-installer-win.exe

 

I can now get this to work although I still get the error above. I guess I don't have to worry about that error unless it causes a problem, likewise the various Java Exceptions that get logged during installation.

 

Thanks,

 

Max
