spawn-monsters=false don't work, mobs still spawning :/

Hello people,

I have a little problem with this settings from the server.properties

I try to disable, or enable mob spawning (monster or animals) so I change the correct setting into server.properties to
spawn-monsters=false
for exemple, but when I restart my gameserver and return on it, I still have spawning monsters

For my tests, I tried with CB 1597 (last recommended build for MC 1.01) and CB 1718 (for MC 1.1)
I disativated alllllll my plugins, simply by renaming my plugins folder, so the problem can't be in relation with any plugin

I notified others settings look like to don't work too, I mean
spawn-npcs=false
spawn-animals=false

So here it's the full server.properties tested =>

Code:

#Minecraft server properties
#Sun Jan 22 19:06:33 CET 2012
allow-nether=true
level-name=world
enable-query=false
allow-flight=false
server-port=25618
level-type=DEFAULT
enable-rcon=false
level-seed=
server-ip=00.00.00.00
spawn-npcs=false
white-list=false
spawn-animals=false
online-mode=false
pvp=true
difficulty=1
gamemode=0
max-players=20
spawn-monsters=false
view-distance=10
motd=A Minecraft Server

If someone can tell me if there is a tips, or if I misstake something ^^

 

Bump, I have the same problem :<

 

seems like you're doing the right things. Thought of trying the recommended build?

it's probably something silly, like having a server.properties in your plugins folder or something.

 

"spawn-monsters=false"
Add a space.
"spawn-monsters= false"
I'm not sure if that will work, but in most cases, formatting is the issue.
