Re: Guide: How to create and maintain a server - Windows
Imho such an howto would be better placed in the wiki. But there should be a separation between the OS specific stuff and the minetest side of the server administration.

Could you post the last 20 lines of debug.txt of your server and client?

Re: [Guide] Create and maintain a server on Windows
hello, my server sometimes is absent from server list and i found in my logs this:
After some time it shows in server list, but it shows "0.4.10, minetest, ?" and no mod list.
This problem started about two weeks ago, on version 4.9. Yesterday i installed 4.10, but this evening this problem came back again.
What can be this problem and what can i do?
upd: i found this: viewtopic.php?id=5688, may-be it will help.

Re: [Guide] Create and maintain a server on Windows
My server says:
Server for gameid="minetest" listening on 0.0.0.0:30000
is this correct?
i've already fowarded the port on router.

Re: [Guide] Create and maintain a server on Windows
:o Sounds dificult and does it Works with mt 0.4.10
Re: [Guide] Create and maintain a server on Windows
Yes. I recommend that you should look up for tutorials about setting routers and be fully informed before doing anything. Some routers work different that the one presented in the tutorial, so you'll have to look for its manual or search the webs. I wish you good luck :)davidthecreator wrote::o Sounds dificult and does it Works with mt 0.4.10

Re: [Guide] Create and maintain a server on Windows
You probably have multiple worlds, thus you need to specify a world using --worldname.THEGGABOOK77 wrote:When I open the shortcut

If a command window opens and closes quickly, it means it either errored out, or just outputted its help message (it didn't do anything).

Craig, I followed the steps but I can't seem to get my server to show on the public list OR be able to connect with external IP.

Check your router settings. Minetest requires a forwarded UDP port.ABJ wrote:Craig, I followed the steps but I can't seem to get my server to show on the public list OR be able to connect with external IP.
I'm not able to connect to my local server using the external IP; ask a friend to try instead.

Re: [Guide] Create and maintain a server on Windows
That's strange. Remove the setting "server_address" from your minetest.conf file, restart the minetest server and retry.roalex543 wrote:Error:Couldn´t resolve address :this is usually a temporary error during hostname resolution and means that the local server did not receive a response from an authoritative server
If the error still exists after that: Take a screenshot and post it here.

Re: [Guide] Create and maintain a server on Windows
Krock I did that and still it does not work (the window shows up and reads the things) but not only does it not display on public list (YES I set that announce thingy to true!!) but also I can't connect with my server using external IP (Or is that what you were addressing in the last sentence of your post?)Krock wrote:That text is completely normal, your server works.roalex543 wrote:please help me with this Server for gameid="minetest" listening on 0.0.0.0:30000 this is good?

Re: [Guide] Create and maintain a server on Windows
If the server is in the same (router-)network, you should use the internal IP.ABJ wrote:Krock I did that and still it does not work (the window shows up and reads the things) but not only does it not display on public list (YES I set that announce thingy to true!!) but also I can't connect with my server using external IP (Or is that what you were addressing in the last sentence of your post?)
If you don't know that IP, do step 3 on your server:
Look at the "IPv4 Address" output, it tells you the network internal address (in this case 192.168.1.100).CraigyDavi wrote:Firstly, You need to find out your default gateway and access your router settings.
- Open up command prompt and type ipconfig /all
- Find where it says Default Gateway
Connect with your client to that address. If that's not possible, then is your minetest version on the server broken; update it.
But when you're able to connect, then it's a problem with the router settings.

I have a Zhone router. Anyone know the name for the firewall tab for that?

Re: [Guide] Create and maintain a server on Windows
Krock, does ALL the public servers show on the list? Or is there a limit (If server is below certain level it doesn't show)?
eg:-Craig's Server hasn't been showing on the list for more than a week but the last post on their thread says it's now up after being down for a few days. Could this "limit" be why my server is not showing?
