First of all I would like to say that I looked and didn't see anyone else post a glitch like this. Also I recorded it since the server didn't generate any logs or anything. (Also I set this to Private because I don't know what kind of information the server shows)
Basically what is happening is that when I run a 1.7.1 server .jar it just spams the log with some sort of error or it says it generating new properties file.

The server writes its log to stdout, so you should be able to redirect it to a file, if you start it using a batch file. Something like
javaw minecraft_server.jar > logfile.txt
However, if it didn't generate any files whatsoever, that's an even greater indication that you have a file permissions issue. Perhaps javaw doesn't have read or write permissions in that folder, and java did, which is why you're experiencing the problem now?

You should attach the server logfile, rather than a link to a video where the text can't even be read. However, most likely your problem is that the server is unable to read or write the properties file, probably due to file permissions.
