I have ran a server for about a month now, but since about 2 days ago, no one can connect. The bukkit jar file (the icon that appears in my dock) no longer appears when i run the server. I have the latest build of bukkit. I can't type anything in the console either, so if i force quit out of the terminal window, the port is still open. I have to turn off my computer to get it to reset. I have no idea whats going on, I've even tried a fresh world with no plugins, and it still doesn't work. I know the server is technically running, but no one can join, not even for a second. Everyone just times out. Any ideas?? nvm... started from scratch and it started working again... strange stuff.

lol, i hate when things like that happen, starting from scratch is usually the best idea...though not always, always make a backup
I have the same problem but I cant start from scratch since it techincally is alreaady scratch. I just downloaded it and it wont show up but it still uses the port. Any ideas?
