    Does anyone tried using Bukkit on Mac Os X? I've installed it step by step with documentation and it works, by whenever player try to use any ingame command, server stops. It don't need to be a whole command, only "/" crushes it. I've tried 2 builds, latest and 75 i think. Also i've tried standard version of minecraft, and it works fine. I'm using Mac Os X 10.5.2, java is up to date. Clean OS installation. Any ideas?

    Mine is working fine. maybe delete the server stuff and make a shell script with this:
    Code:
    #!/bin/bash
    cd "`dirname "$0"`"
    curl -O http://artifacts.lukegb.com/artifactory/plugins-snapshot/org/bukkit/craftbukkit/0.0.1-SNAPSHOT/craftbukkit-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar
    mv craftbukkit-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar craftbukkit.jar
    java -Xmx1G -Xms1G -jar craftbukkit.jar
    Whenever you run this, it updates Bukkit, and runs it with one gb of ram. Maybe it'll help?

    Okay I made a new folder on my desktop, made the above script, ran it and it started up the server, everything looked right. I opped myself form the terminal and then tried /give theswig 1 64 and again the server just saves chunks and stops...is there anything I am not doing or something i need to set?

    hmmm... not sure. Is it an online server? I had a problem where commands didn't work offline.

    hmmm... Have you restarted your comp? If that doesn't work, then you can use the terminal. It probably won't take long to get fixed. And with my fancy auto update script, you won't have to manually retrieve it. Anyway... just try again every day or so. They have daily releases.

    Yes I tried restarting it, I was able to boot my macbook into windows and run the server there and now it works however it is VERY laggy, probably due to some of the issues with running windows on a mac, however I do hope this issue is realized by someone in charge and they fix it for mac ASAP :D

    I've had mine run just fine, especially when run on a ramdisk. I always use the newest build of CraftBukkit and Bukkit by using Git and pulling both, installing Bukkit into the CraftBukkit repo, then build it with Maven.

    I've tried running it on ramdisk, still the same problem. Using craftbukkit.

    What's the error that you're getting when you run it? I should probably do a bit more testing on mine, but from what I've done it runs just fine. When I get home I'll start it up with a few plugins and play around with commands. Also make sure you're using an updated version since they do updates to it every day. If anyone would like my latest builds, in case they think it may be due to their's acting up, you can get it here: CraftBukkit It's only one commit behind and will be updated in about an hour.

    Vanilla commands on a CB server in game are /#command not /command. Perhaps that's why they're not working in game?

    And to add to this discussion, I've been running Craftbukkit on a mac (10.6) without problems. Of note, I couldn't run Vanilla MC Server on 10.4. Nothing could connect to it because of the lack of updated Java on 10.4.

    For trouble shootings sake, are you trying to run it without any plugins? Perhaps one is to blame?

    Clean bukkit, no plugins. Tried like 5 versions now (found some in plugins topics). Anything started with "/", or only "/" normally stops server. No errors, only saving and logout.

    It seems to run just fine for me. Make sure you're OP then try /#help. No crashing or any other problems and I'm running OS X 10.6.6

    Man I'm with you dreadu, same exact problem. No errors, no plugins. It starts up and runs I can build and chat and do pretty much everything but as soon as i type anything with a /, even just / ingame the server saves chunks and stops as if i typed stop in the terminal.

    Could it be something wrong with your version of Java?

    I've had this same problem since the day I started my server and I have gone up and down the web looking for a solve to this exact issue, but to no avail. I have no idea why this is happening, but from this post, it seems like I'm not the only one this is happening to. I'd love it if someone could solve this!

    Wow... Immediately after making my last post, I looked a few pages down in the forums and saw someone had a fix for this issue:
    INSTALL SNOW LEOPARD!
    I'n definitely going to try that tonight and see if that works.

    Snow Leopard would definitely help since it's an x64 system and that would increase data transfer speeds. That's what I run it on and like I said, it runs just fine. If I had better hardware it would run like a dream, but I have to wait a while for that, haha.

    I just installed Snow Leopard and
    ALL OF THE COMMANDS WORK GUYS DO IT ITS AWESOME
    So that's the fix!

    Its entirely due to how Apple bundles Java with their OS. They changed how things work in Snow Leopard.
