Restart server

How do I restart my server so that my plugins can become active???

 

@AndrewWinjum
If the server is already on, use /reload. If not, run the start file (normally its called start.bat or start.sh).

 

If I type /reload it tells me I do not have permission to run this command.

I do not have any start.bat or start.sh file either

Also could you tell me how to give myself permission to do simple commands like /gamemode and /give ?
-Thanks

You need to be op. Op yourself or run the command through the console.

 

How do I op myself? And what is a console? (sorry I am new to this and dont really know what I am doing.)

 

When you start your server a little gui should open unless your using a hosting service, If you are hosting at home then in the gui that says like "loading world <percentage> " something like that type in that chat "op <YourMinecraftName>" and you should have all permissions for gamemode and give.

 

A gui opens up but then disappears immediately.

It does not give me enough time to reply.

By starting your server do u mean double clicking on the Jar file craftbukkit-1.11.2?

Is there another way I can op myself?

In reply to all your posts

1. Are you hosting the server on your computer or are you using a hosting company? If its your own computer, post the console log by going into <Server>/logs/recent.txt file and copying and pasting all the text into a reply. If you are using a hosting company, post which one you are using.
2. Same as #1.
3. No. That will cause 'hidden' servers to appear. If you have done that, either restart your computer or open up the task manager and end all Javaw tasks.
4. No, not really.

Also, why are you still on 1.11? Update to 1.12.

 

O thanks for the edit tip I didnt see that. Ok and my client is on 1.12 but my server is not how do I update my server to 1.12? Im hosting from my computer. I just restarted my computer. When I go to my server it says it cannot connect what do I do now to start my server back up?

Here is my server log. I found it in <Server>/logs/latest does that sound right?

@AndrewWinjum

1. To download a 1.12 server, you will need to use the --rev tag for buildtools. The link here tells you how to do this.
2. Your issue may be that you put the IP in the server.properties file. That line is only meant for servers that require different ips then the ones being detected. Go to the server.properties file and remove the IP.

 

I removed my IP from the server properties (which I opened in Notepad is this OK?) I still however cannot connect to my server how do I start my server up?
