Try checking that your server is bound correctly either to localhost, or, if port forwarding, put it through your local ipv4 and connect to your external ip

i’m trying to start a server on apex hosting and i’m having the same issue does anyone know how to fix it if i’m not using port forwarding cause all the fixes i’ve found only work for port forwarding
the one on the minecraft site is generally for the most current version.
this one will get you the 1.7.10 server file to create the proper server. then download the forge files and install them for the server should be an option in the installer.
after that its basically the same as for client minecraft put mods into the mods folder, ect.
make sure the clients connecting have the same mods as well and i never did the port forwarding should be guides online generally the hard part is getting that 1.7.10 server file.
