Solved Server fails to start after switching from vanilla

[TommyTimbo]

Hello everyone, I have been trying to swap to Paper from a vanilla server to help increase performance but keep getting errors that prevent the server from starting, I've tried swapping java versions among other settings and can't seem to figure it out. If anyone has any ideas it would be greatly appreciated.

1.9.x hasn’t been supported in years, you didn’t install the wrong version of paper, did you?

I am so embarrassed. The control panel my host uses had 1.9 at the top of the version list and my brain saw the 9 and said "yup its that one"

Switched it to 1.19.4 and everything is working.
