Server Issues (please this is urgent)

by Rick2 » Post

I have posted this before but seems no one has helped. My server name shows up as my IP. Now I heard I needed a domain but most costs money which I cannot pay. Also to make a server 24/7 is there a free way to do that? Please let me know ASAP.

Just keep the computer where you host the server turned on the whole day & night.

How come nobody can seem to help me with this? Many people have done it I just don't understand why they won't help.

You have to keep the server window open, yes. See here for how to make the server launcher.

Just use your IP. You do not need a domain/sub-domain.

We do help. It is just that you seem to be having problems with the help we give you.

Make sure you have publicly listed it: server_announce = true.

Maybe I could screenshot my router settings and minetest conf. stuff then you could tell me if something is wrong?

That is a good idea. Also, you should edit your previous 2 posts into one.

Upload the image to imgur.com or another image hosting site. Post the image/link here.

They both seem fine. The port forwarding is forwarding to your computer I presume.
I'm not sure then. You launch the server window fine? Any errors?

I meant the cmd window which you just showed me in the picture. I have no idea, try connecting with 2 players using the IP.

If it don't work then I guess its something wrong with Minetest. Because I have done this before on a different computer.
