[solved] My server isn't getting announced.

by Hume2 » Post

I'm trying to announce my server. I set server_announce to true and the list still doesn't contain my server. I use this branch. The branch only adds another mapgen which I use, everything else is the same as in master.

The excerpt from stderr:

Code: Select all

...
        .__               __                   __

|__|_|  /__|___|  /\___  >__|  \___  >____  > |__|

I censored my IP adress.

So server_announce is true, server_name is set, server_description is set. So why don't I see my server on the list?

Solution:
Add this to minetest.conf:

Code: Select all

server_address = <server public IP>

is that the internet IP address (what can direct ping from Internet) of an privat network (like 192.168....) WITH the right portforwarding from the official IP ?
or direct an open outside IP ?

or like this can people from outside (Internet) join ? as this indicates a bit, where we have to investigate - and also check that set 5000 curl ? time, and wait about 5 minutes to be sure ...

How often I had this,
a yes, at me the port forwarding settings got easy in router, but needed RESTART to use them ... check

Sorry, I am a little noobish. I rented a virtual server and ran minetestserver on it. I did enough with the default network config. I can join the server normally, my friends from distinct countries can join as well. So what should I check?

Does this change anything?

Code: Select all

bind_address = 127.0.0.1
server_address = <server public IP>
It might take a few minutes until the server is shown in the list, at least I can see that it announces:

Now the server doesn't even start and I'm getting this:

Code: Select all

EDIT:
