I apologize in advance if I am beating a dead horse here and my question has already been answered repeatedly.
I have downloaded both a vanilla Minecraft server 1.6.2 from the Minecraft download site as well as the server I already run with Forge, craftbukkit-1.6.2-R0.1-20130725.232904-13.jar
Thus far, following the steps here, I have been unable to sucessfully install Forge, which I am attempting with minecraftforge-installer-1.6.2-9.10.0.804 and minecraftforge-universal-1.6.2-9.10.0.804
Running the universal instead of the server client .jar yields nothing but a quick flash of my cursor. Running the server client .jar causes a GUI response like it wants to run, but its stuck in a never ending spam loop of telling me it can't create a new server properties file until I eventually have to force close it.
I have tried for three days to pick this apart and figure out what I am doing wrong. This process included going back over these forums and well as the Forge forums and many....many outdated You Tube tutorials.... I am at a loss as to how to correct this problem.
I have GalacticCraft running like a champ on my single player client.
