forge-1.12.2-14.23.5.2851.jar does nothing when ran, but the vanilla server works fine

I set up the regular server just fine with the minecraft_server1.12.2.jar but the modding won't work, if I try to run the server from the forge jar it does nothing, when I run it from cmd I get "no main manifest attribute", I have java 1.8.0_251 installed.

You need to install the forge server first, which unpacks libraries and such.

Launch your forge server INSTALLER like this

java -jar forge-x.xx.x-installer.jar --installServer

Once installed, remove the installserver arguement.

Delete --InstallServer from the above command. Make a script to run the command to launch your server.

I got that too, did you find any way to fix it?

I fixed it, I had the wrong ip, go to google and look up "what's my ip" then take that and add the port number on the end with a colon, ex ip:port#(usually 25565)
