Hi guys,

 

I'm having trouble installing Forge on my server. I first tried putting it in the .jar but that didn't work then after some more research I found that you just needed to put the universal .zip file into the folder and change it into a .jar. I did that and it still does not work. Any help would be appreciated here.

 

(Note: I am trying on the most recent version of Forge)

Open the universal version of forge in 7zip or winrar. Then open the server.jar in winrar or 7zip and just drag the whole contents of the forge file into the server.jar then run the server DO NIT DELET THE METAINF!!!!

You don't need to install it at all, actually.

 

Do what you did, brethir. Just put the forge .zip in the bin folder and rename it to .jar, then run it instead of the minecraft_server.jar

I tried putting the .jar into the location roaming\.minecraft\bin and when I run it an error comes up that says "A java exception has occured. Should I try running this on a bigger computer? (I'm on vacation and doing this all on a netbook for now.)

Do what Malivil told you.

[*]Download minecraftforge-universal-1.4.6-6.5.0.489.zip to the same folder that minecraft-server.jar is in.

[*]Rename minecraftforge-universal-1.4.6-6.5.0.489.zip to minecraftforge-universal-1.4.6-6.5.0.489.jar.

[*]Launch minecraftforge-universal-1.4.6-6.5.0.489.jar as if it were minecraft-server.jar.

There's an EAQ for a reason. Read it!

Ok, I am now back to my desktop computer and the exact same thing happens. I tried running the Minecraftforge.jar but I got a message that says "A java Exception has occured." I then tried opening it with a .bat to see what was going on. This is the error that came up.
