hello i just created a minecraft server on my linux vps i installed it and everything, it shows the mods coming up but when i try to join the server it says 'end of stream' and yes i downloaded the newest/recent Bukkit
Which version number of craftbukkit would that be exactly? You have the newest "Recommended Build(RB)" and you have the newest "dev build"
The newest version of bukkit is probably the latest recommended build which does not support 1.8(.1). If this is not your problem, then please explain what "shows the mods coming up" means.
