If you are still having trouble you would be better served by posting in the appropriate forum. ie. Linux or Windows, etc. I recently ran into some issues setting up a new server myself, and found it best to go back through each step one by one. Also, don't bother setting up bots until you are 100% certain the basic server is working properly. Once you start going beyond what is broken and try to power through it, it can get real muddy
