Server won't announce

by BBmine » Post

My server is public, but it only announces sometimes. How can I fix this?

I am having the same problem with my world on minetesthosting.com. Am I doing it all wrong or what? All (Unless others are having the same problem as I so their servers aren't showing up) the other servers hosted at minetesthosting.com announce just fine.

go to this website http://wiki.minetest.net/Setting_up_a_server.
go to router settings and port forward 30000 to 30000
disable firewall of both pc and router (only if above steps not working)
if still not working download a software named PortMapping

Share some details of minetesthosting.com?

Maybe you need to ask them to fix it?
For fast response... send me a PM

Found out that they shut down their servers after a few minutes of nobody being there.

Here's the codes I get:

Code: Select all

2017-05-23 15:31:03: ERROR[CurlFetch]: servers.minetest.net/announce not found (Timeout was reached) (response code 0)
and

Code: Select all

2017-05-23 12:00:03: ERROR[CurlFetch]: servers.minetest.net/announce not found (HTTP response code said error) (response code 500)
This is all on my Noob Academy server.

You might want to try to increase the cURL timeout setting in the minetest.conf of your server (or have it done by your hoster) for the timeout issue. Default is 5000 (5 seconds), so try 10000 or 20000 as sometimes the replies from servers.minetest.net/announce seem to take longer than that (have seen those messages in my log too so I increased this value).

When the response code 500 is given that means some error happened on the server.minetest.net side, not much can be done and cause could be various reasons that should be investigated by the hosters/ admins of server.minetest.net ..... (maybe check github issues or raise one)

K. The hoster still needs to reforward port 30001. He seems to be having a bit of trouble with that :P

What address is your server?
I cannot do anything about this problem, but your server address is important information for people who can help.
