I tried to create a server for Hermitpack v1.7.0 modpack but I am having issues with starting it. I am not getting any log files at all but here's crash-dump from the server:

Any suggestions?

The Vanilla Minecraft jar alongside the Forge jar is missing or corrupt. Please put a Vanilla jar of the server Minecraft version in the same folder as the Forge jar. 

This did not solve my issue, The, the file was there to begin with and it was not corrupted since I copied it off of a working server. I also tried changing the java version on the server which did absolutely nothing.

 

Any other ideas?
