No Mod Directory Found Need Help ASAP!

[LNGxProfitz]

Trying to start up a new modded server running 57 mods or more. Followed multiple videos and read through some forums to find that the all basically tell me to do the same thing. I go on forge get the recommended Minecraft server and installed the client then the server into a folder on the desktop. I have tried transferring the mods and config folders before trying to run the Forge Universal .jar it will open with java but will not run through keeps saying that it cannot find Mod Directory and it trys to create one but then fails and stops the server. Also i have tried to run the Minecraft Server.jar and it loads up and says generating new properties but it is unable to save properties. I have tried deleting Forge, Java and Minecraft then reinstalling everything fresh. I have tried multiple versions of Java and nothing will work. Not sure if anyone else has had any issues but some advise would be appreciated. Thanks

It kinda looks like you installed your forge server into C:\Windows\System32. That would be a bad idea since it's a system folder, and probab;y doesn't want the server writing files in there.

 

Install it somewhere else and give it a try.
