Not appearing in server list

[Orby]

Hello,

I'm trying to get a 0.4.6 server to appear on the in client server list. I am running 64-bit Linux. Here is what I have done so far:

* compiled with -DENABLE_CURL=1
* Added the following lines to my config:
serverlist_url = servers.minetest.net
server_name = "Wazuland II"
server_description = Economy. Lots for sale $20,000
server_address = www.wazuclan.com
server_url = http://www.wazuclan.com
server_announce = 1
server_dedicated = 1

Despite these changes, my server does not appear in the list. Does anyone have any other suggestions? Thanks!

Are you sure that the server uses this config file when starting?
Try running it with --config path/to/minetest.conf

Are you sure you have the right curl library installed? That was my mistake last time.

[Orby]

Thanks for your responses. Yes it is definitely using the correct configuration. Which curl library are you using now? I'm using Ubuntu 12.0.4 (if you happen to be using the same and recall the package name). The output of

Code: Select all

dpkg --get-selections | grep curl

is

Code: Select all

libcurl3
libcurl3:i386
libcurl3-gnutls
php5-curl

I'm going to try

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install libcurl4-openssl-dev

(as per your previous thread) and rebuilding, then I'll get back to you.

--------

Edit:

After installing the libcurl4-openssl-dev package and running

Code: Select all

cmake . -DENABLE-CURL=1 -DRUN_IN_PLACE=1

again, I received more promising output:

Code: Select all

-- *** Will build version 0.4.6 ***
-- IRRLICHT_SOURCE_DIR = 
-- IRRLICHT_INCLUDE_DIR = /usr/include/irrlicht
-- IRRLICHT_LIBRARY = /usr/lib/libIrrlicht.a
-- CURL_INCLUDE_DIR = /usr/include/curl
-- CURL_LIBRARY = /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libcurl.so
-- cURL support enabled

Apparently, -DENABLE-CURL does nothing, so there is no point in using it. I rebuilt the server and voila! Thanks for the suggestion.

Same problem, libcurl4-openssl-dev is installed before compiling
config file is

Code: Select all

port = 30000
name = globis
server_announce = true
server_name = globis server 
server_description = A server with a lot of mods. 
server_address = 94.23.33.108:30000
server_url = http://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?pid=89696
liquid_finite = true
max_users = 20
enable_damage = false

default_privs = interact, shout, money, fly, noclip
unlimited_player_transfer_distance = false
enable_pvp = false
static_spawnpoint = 0,20,2500
disallow_empty_password = true

if have in log

Code: Select all

02:29:36: ACTION[ServerThread]: announcing to servers.minetest.net

but still don't appear...

Try applying this patch: https://gist.github.com/sfan5/5494405
It just uses the command line curl
I had the same problem, either libcurl or Minetest was doing something wrong

[PilzAdam]

Why?

It need time to appear in list ?

[glomie]

Work with debian wheezy, certainly squeeze seems have too old dependency.

[Lunovox]

I'm having the same problem. But my serves appears in the list of servers, depending on the time I try to activate the server. I use "Ubuntu 13.04".

Code: Select all

$ minetest --server --port 30000 --worldname "Craftopoles BR" &
...
19:43:00: ACTION [main]: Server for gameid = "minetest" listening on port 30000.
creative inventory size: 242
19:43:00: ACTION [ServerThread]: announcing to servers.minetest.net
...

I may be wrong, but I have the impression to be a defect in the URL servers.minetest.net that is not giving permission to publish. And without that permission to publish the server may not be online.

Apparently the windows users do not suffer from this problem.
