Re: server down?

[Jindol]

I tried to connect to the server the last few hours but i cant log on. I always get the Outdated server reply. What do?

[Stonards]

Kill yourself on webcam, it's the only option. That, or update your client.

[Monkeyhair]

I cant login atm anyway, think its something to do server side :/

Yes the server has crashed overnight, 1.8 is less stable.

Maybe it is an idea to set up a cronjob to check if the server is running, and if it's not, start it?

This is a simple script to do that:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash
# Check if Minecraft process is running.
ps -ef | grep -v grep | grep minecraft
# If not found - equals to 1, start it.
if [ $? -eq 1 ]
then
/home/c4k3/mcpvp/minecraft.sh
else
echo "Minecraft server is still running - not starting Minecraft server."
fi

I still can not connect... connection with 1.8 client to :27027 should work?

I can use 1.8 to move stuff from old world to new world? Where to connect to be in old world and ask admin to move my stuff, and then where to connect for new world?

[Yukar9]

The old server crashed, it's up again. To have items not stored in vault transferred over, you have to talk to me, then we both log into the old server, you give me all the stuff you need transferred over, and I hand them to you in the new server.

[RevStoningpot]

great idea i wouldn't know how to do it but i see what you're getting at-an auto restarter.

[CaptainKirov]

Hmm, now that I think of it this is not going to work, because the minecraft process is still active even if we can't reach the server.

[Yukar9]

^ Exactly. If I ever have the time I could write a plugin to automatically restart the server when there's no activity, but I doubt it'll be anytime soon.
