I currently run a small server for about 5 friends and myself. Since last August, I've been using the vanilla server software without problem. Tonight, after urging from one friend, I checked out bukkit & decided to give it a shot. I followed the instructions on the BukkitWiki and started the server without a hitch. I then replaced the world folders, white-list, ops, various banned, and server properties files with the old files from my vanilla server. I added some plugins that caught my eye, and tested the server myself. Everything checked out perfectly, so I got a pair of friends to log on and try the changes. However, now they, and I assume the others as well, cannot connect to the server! Their presence in the command prompt interface is not noticed (I have found that if someone cannot join a vanilla server, the gui says '"insert IP here" lost connection') and all they can tell me is that their server lists cannot connect to my server. As if I had not turned it on, which is quite ludicrous. Anyways, until I can find a solution, I've had to go back to running the vanilla server, which continues to plod along just dandy. So, any help is much appreciated. Here's a whole bunch of info, too. Maybe someone can spot something I had no difficulty missing? I am using x64 Windows 7 My Java version is 1.6.0_17 I am currently using Hamachi. My build number is 2149jnks The command used to run craftbukkit is, if I undertand this right, Echo OFF SET BINDIR=%~dp0 CD /D "%BINDIR%" "%ProgramFiles%\Java\jre6\bin\java.exe" -Xmx1024M -Xms1024M -jar craftbukkit.jar PAUSEUnofr and it is done using a batch file (run.bat is how I saved it as). I tried using the WheresMyBones1.2.4.0, BoatModv12, Observer1.1.1, Chairs1.4, and Timber Classic. There are no errors in the server log. I have tried removing all plugins, and ensuring that the IP is correct. I would try without using my hamachi IP, but despite many straight-forward port forwarding tutorials, I have boffed it up.
Make sure the people trying to connect also have Hamachi running. Post your server.properties file contents please in [code ] tags
Oh, sure. I'm not too tech-savvy, so I hope this is what you meant... #Minecraft server properties #Thu Mar 01 17:32:05 PST 2012 allow-nether=true level-name=Brave New Server enable-query=false allow-flight=true server-port=25565 query.port=25565 level-type=DEFAULT enable-rcon=false level-seed=753548930 server-ip=5.150.139.8 max-build-height=256 spawn-npcs=true white-list=false debug=false spawn-animals=true online-mode=false pvp=true difficulty=2 gamemode=0 max-players=10 spawn-monsters=true generate-structures=true view-distance=10 motd=A Brave New World
Change the line " server-ip=5.150.139.8 " to.... Code: server-ip= (Yes, with nothing after the equals sign) Change the line " query.port=25565 " to.... Code: query-port=25566 And finally (Stop supporting piracy of the game, it's illegal)... change " online-mode=false " to: Code: online-mode=true note that your friends MUST be running Hamachi too or they will not be able to see your server.
I tried all that, but still nothing. Also, I don't understand how a blank IP helps, but if it is supposed to work, I won't question...
Sadly, no. I've had to go back to vanilla Minecraft. I'm really sorry to hear that you, too, share my problem. Although, it feels good to know that I'm not alone... Damn, someone out there must have had this problem and overcome it. Where are you, you bugger? Answer in this thread!
Ah, here is something I had not noticed before. When I start up the bukkit server, after it is finished loading everything it has a final line saying "/5.150.139.8:56861 lost connection". I'm going to look into the ":56861" and see if that's the wrench in my plans. Ah, I found a solution. I hope this works for anyone else who had a similar problem. Go to your firewall, and go into allowed programs. Once there, change it so all the Java programs are allowed through.
