Hey guys, was wondering if you can help me - I am new to having my own minecraft server and have followed the guide you guys put up here. I first start with exactly how it said (the recommended build) though my minecraft is 1.7.9. Started from the beginning as so: 1: Download the recommended build - Done! 2: Put the .jar file in the directory you'd like the server to run from - Done! 3: Open a text editor such as Notepad and type: - Done! Code: java -Xmx1024M -jar craftbukkit.jar -o true PAUSE Above - Done! 4: Save the document as run.bat (not as a .txt) in the same directory as craftbukkit.jar. - Done! 5: Double click run.bat and you're away! - Done! Ok, all above went well, the server started - populating the world, generating the seed, all within the console etc and then I began to start up Minecraft and went to direct connect, put my local IP to see if it works and all I get is this: Code: failed to connect to server authentication servers are down. In the console I also see that it logged it as this: Code: [15:26:50] [Server thread/INFO]: Starting minecraft server version 1.7.9 [15:26:50] [Server thread/INFO]: Loading properties [15:26:50]

I have also gone over this and your forums to see if I can find any answer but none. Can someone please help me and show me what im doing wrong? Thank you. Edit: Ok as you can see, the server is there in the MP list! so im confused to why I cant connect. Its also green meaning its not a bad connection as such. 2nd Edit: Ok, very strange now - I tried the official Minecraft Server from there download page here. And IT WORKS! I can run my own server, no problems connecting at all, I went over the server settings with the Bukkit one ive got and edited it accordingly but still for some strange reason im getting the same error! I cant connect with the Bukkit server pack im using. Though the official server pack is working fine. So this makes me believe its not my side of things but something to do with the Bukkit pack??? Any help on this please? I have tried everything and still not able to get it to work. EDIT by Moderator: merged posts, please use the edit button instead of double posting.
DarkXess if the authentication servers are down then restart your minecraft client. If that does not work then it must be Mojang's servers that are down. If you restart your server do you get the same errors in the log? Alot of the times if you are first starting the server it can be normal to get errors.
DrPyroCupcake hey man, thanks for the reply - well here is what ive done now: Deleted all and started a fresh, here is the log from the first startup which failed to connect: Code: [01:08:31] [Server

Authentication servers being down is an issue on Mojang's end. But do make sure you have a port open and all that good stuff.
Ive followed the guide exactly from A to Z. All ports are open and everything done as should be. Can someone confirm all my settings etc are correct above? And again, even if the ports wasnt open like you mentioned above about opening etc... then why does the official minecraft server work but the bukkit one not? :S
lol of course my game is bought! how can my username be cracked? I already said I can play on the official Minecraft Servers etc, just the bukkit one I cant play with - and that is the one I want to play, NOT the official lol. Edit: When trying just now, I can play official server, close it and open the bukkit server and boom! doesnt work as usual. I really dont understand this. Edit 2: Again can someone go over my settings and make sure they are actually all correct.
I've looked and it seems everything is fine. I can't fathom why the official server works but not Bukkit. Make sure you COMPLETELY shut down the official one though, else you'll have two servers in the same place, and that creates serious issues.
DarkXess All I can possibly think to try is in your server properties file, where it asks for server-ip= to just leave it blank instead of putting the IP in there. It should take care of that part automatically. Not really sure why you can log onto vanilla but not CraftBukkit though; that's odd.
ZanderMan9 Yep I know that mate, that hasnt been a problem DrPyroCupcake Er, lol I mean I can make my own server, my friends have even joined to see if there are any problems, there was nothing bad out of it, they all said everything was perfect - no lag etc,... so I know the Minecraft Server from the official site which I downloaded works! thats what I mean being official mate. The Bukkit one is not working at all, ive tried even the same configs as the Minecraft Server has and still wont connect saying about authentication issues. JaguarJo just tried exactly that and it works with the Minecraft Server file but once again the Bukkit one does not work This problem IS happening on both the stable version and also the beta version of Bukkit.
