I downloaded the server files available on the curse website and its only 11 KB large and contains no mods and no server files. The only files in the download are a server-icon.png, server-setup-config.yaml, startserver.bat, and startserver.sh. when i attempt to look at the bat file it tells me i don't have permission and deletes the file. There are no instructions on how to set up a server. Hopefully you can find a fix for this.

you are supposed to run the file.

batch (bat) for windows

bash (sh) for *nix

im assuming windows

open command prompt. navigate to the directory where the files are.

type in startserver.bat

most likely need to run the command prompt as administrator

this can be closed. he figured it out.
