is this correct?
i've already fowarded the port on router.

My server outputs the same. It should be correct then.

Yes. I recommend that you should look up for tutorials about setting routers and be fully informed before doing anything. Some routers work different that the one presented in the tutorial, so you'll have to look for its manual or search the webs. I wish you good luck :)

That's uptime.
A day has 24 hours, a week 7 days. This means, it's the whole week online.

You probably have multiple worlds, thus you need to specify a world using --worldname.

If a command window opens and closes quickly, it means it either errored out, or just outputted its help message (it didn't do anything).

Craig, I followed the steps but I can't seem to get my server to show on the public list OR be able to connect with external IP.

That text is completely normal, your server works.

Check your router settings. Minetest requires a forwarded UDP port.
I'm not able to connect to my local server using the external IP; ask a friend to try instead.

That's strange. Remove the setting "server_address" from your minetest.conf file, restart the minetest server and retry.
If the error still exists after that: Take a screenshot and post it here.

Krock I did that and still it does not work (the window shows up and reads the things) but not only does it not display on public list (YES I set that announce thingy to true!!) but also I can't connect with my server using external IP (Or is that what you were addressing in the last sentence of your post?)

If the server is in the same (router-)network, you should use the internal IP.

If you don't know that IP, do step 3 on your server:
CraigyDavi wrote:Firstly, You need to find out your default gateway and access your router settings.
  • Open up command prompt and type ipconfig /all
  • Find where it says Default Gateway
    Image

Look at the "IPv4 Address" output, it tells you the network internal address (in this case 192.168.1.100).
Connect with your client to that address. If that's not possible, then is your minetest version on the server broken; update it.
But when you're able to connect, then it's a problem with the router settings.

Krock, does ALL the public servers show on the list? Or is there a limit (If server is below certain level it doesn't show)?
eg:-Craig's Server hasn't been showing on the list for more than a week but the last post on their thread says it's now up after being down for a few days. Could this "limit" be why my server is not showing?

Nope, it may take a minute until it's added to the list but if you have a 0.4.?? version (or newer), it shouldn't be a problem.
If it doesn't show up, then it's a problem with your settings.

I find I can not enter 127.0.0.1 with the above error but I can go with my internal ip no problem??
