I made a server and used my IPv4 address for the IP. I decided to scratch that server and make a Bukkit server so I can use plugins. I tried to use my IPv4 address which I used for my other server but I keep getting the message [17:31:15 WARN]: ****FAILED TO BIND TO PORT!
Is there any thing I can do to get a new address to use or is there a way to delete the old server? Do I need to use a different computer? Please help! I've don't know how to fix this problem. If you have any suggestions please tell me and I'll give it a try.

Go to your server.properties and make sure "server.ip=" is empty.
server-ip=
Make sure the port you are trying to use for the server isn't being used elsewhere.
5MAC FIX FOR LOCALHOST:
- Open "Activity Monitor"
- Search "Java"
- Force Quit "Java"
- Start Server
This usually fixes the issue. Hope it helps for you.
