Uhmm, hi. When I made my minecraft server, I can't seem to change the map.. It's the singleplayer map.  I can talk, and it's multiplayer, i just want the map changed. I tried using omen, but when I save a map, like write haha.dat, it doesn't save.. it's not there when i look at it.. And I don't know what to do after i made my map in omen, so please help me!

Make the map in omen.  If

Make the map in omen.  If main is a .dat file to start with, use any omen you want.  If the mail level is a .lvl, then use omen 6.  Make the map in omen, an save it in the right place as main.dat or main.lvl depending on which one the main level already is.  Restart the server after you are done.

Your first problem is having

Your first problem is having Omen in the wrong place. You'll need to download the multiplayer server software from:
http://minecraft.net/servers.jsp, extract it to your desktop then make sure you put all Omen's files in the same spot as "minecraft-server.jar" or it WILL NOT SAVE YOUR .dat FILES!

Next problem, you need a .dat to .lvl file converter. It can be found at:
http://crafted.voziv.com/index.php?module=mcsharp
Once you have that downloaded and extracted, drag your new .dat file to the DatConverter folder.
Open "dat to lvl converter" and type in your file name in the cmd box. An example would be: mynewlevel.dat
Press enter and it should create a copy of your .dat file with it's real name and a .lvl tag within the DatConverter folder.

Stick this baby in your 'levels' folder in your server junk and you're good to /upload!!!

Happy Multiplayering!
