Where do I put my logs

[Avery2306]

Am I supposed to put them on here or somewhere else? Also I did try to repair my files and it didn’t work

You can paste your logs here as a reply and I will be able to review them and see what the issue is.

I recommend starting your server, then go to the Danger Zone, then hit Repair Files, then hit Force Hibernation. This should hopefully fix your weird error.
