I loaded it onto my test server and it generated (non-ocean) chunks just fine (there was a vast ocean at the ring portal from when Fish was there.

I did change a few things, although I don't think any of these should have made it work in any way.
 * 1) In server.properties, I changed  and   to 25571.
 * 2) In server.properties, I changed  to be blank.
 * 3) I renamed the forge jar to server.jar to be used easier in the startup script I run.

I suppose you could try changing these things as well but I think (in your case) the first two are required to connect to the server.
