Server stops after issuing any console command

I just installed CraftBukkit for the first time today (downloaded the most recent build; 230 i think?), and I'm having a strange issue. The server starts up just fine, and I can login with no problems. However, when I type in any console command (such as "help" or "list") the server stops. It doesn't crash per se; it just seems to think every command is the "stop" command. Here is what the console looks like:

2011-02-03 13:28:53 [INFO] Stopping server
2011-02-03 13:28:53 [INFO] Saving chunks

I have no plugins installed, and I've previously been running a vanilla server install with no problems. Here are my server specs:

Mac Mini
OSX 10.5
2gb RAM
2 ghz intel dual core processor

 

You're going to have a hell of a time getting it to work on anything other than Snow Leopard. It may still be possible though. Mainly the problem is the Java version Apple bundled with their older versions of the OS. Bukkit devs build based off Java 1.6.x

 

Ahhh. That would certainly explain it. I think java 1.5 is what's on my mac now. I'll see if I can try upgrading to 1.6, and hopefully that will fix things.

Fixed! Upgrading to Java 1.6 did the trick.

For those interested, I download and installed the Java for OSX 10.5 Update 4. Then I had to go in to the "Java Preferences" app and uncheck the Java 1.5 versions (leave the Java 1.6 checked). When I started CraftBukkit back up, it worked just fine.

Thanks for the pointer TnT.

 

Sweet, glad you didn't need to go all out and get Snow Leopard to fix it.

 

Are you able to run the Minecraft App? Because I have the same issue and I got the server to work but now I can't start Minecraft...

 

thx everybody

 

Hey, I did as you said and the server was up and running fine but now i cant open the Minecraft app

Plz help

 

What minecraft app? The server? What does it say?

 

No the actual game. When I open it it just closes again now that i have the new java

 

Oh you mean the client. Run it from a terminal/command line "java -jar Minecraft.jar" and what does it say?

 

For problems running the game, check here.

 

I did but now my connection is refused

 

Setup the firewall the, looks like a problem there.

 

Hey I just upgraded my Java to 1.6. The server works just fine, but Minecraft the application wont start or even open. I tried reinstalling it and still didn't work. Please help

Hey brendan do you have any clue on how to get minecraft to open im running mac os x and I downloaded java 1.6 and now minecraft wont open. Do you have any idea what to do?

 

I think the server has firewall with no exception for minecraft.

client does not run? I think there was a thread about that, after update to 1.6 some clients don't work immediately, but I really have no idea where I saw this, try to search a little.

 

can you help me pllllllllzzzzzzzzzzzz

 

Did you try what was described here. If you're having different problems, I suggest starting up a new thread.
