I just bought my win64 bit vps and i want to run a server but i dont know where to download a server program.
Little help?

You must compile from Source if you want to get the Server Program

I think you just have to run the game to create a local server then try to connect another client to your server's IP.

No need to download anything, just open minetest from command line with "--server" option.

For win7/vista: click Start, type "cmd", hit enter, type "cd <MINETEST-DIR>" (where <MINETEST-DIR> is the minetest directory ;D), enter, type "minetest --server", enter.

Remobo and hatachi are programs that create VPN easily.

by **jordan4ibanez** » Sat Mar 17, 2012 22:27

all these are overcomplicated..you can either port forward or use a vpn (remobo or hamachi)

for running a server stick the bat file from the wiki in your bin folder and just run it

PS: there should be a REAL server program that replaces the "advanced" tab in the game

You can use Windows+R to open the "Run" window, then type cmd, then cd into MT's bin directory, then type "minetest.exe --server".

Yeah thank you! *Respect*
ERROR EDIT:
I got this error:

Main[ERROR] Invalid gamespec. <world_gameid=>

What is wrong?

by **Jordach** » Tue Mar 20, 2012 17:25

You muse specify "world_gameid = mesetint"

by **Lippis** » Tue Mar 20, 2012 17:53

Omn.. In config? i try search "world_gameid" in config and result is nothing found...

by **Calinou** » Tue Mar 20, 2012 20:07

You can add lines in minetest.conf, if they're valid they will be read. :)

by **Lippis** » Wed Mar 21, 2012 12:37

Where i need to write it in the minetest.conf.example?
I write it just under SERVER things and it gives me the same error....
I wrote this:

#world_gameid = mesetint

under the server things.... Can someone make me an config file, where everything is right?
Thanks guys..

# means you are putting that line as "comment", which won't have any effect on the game. Remove it.
Also, don't write in minetest.conf.example, which is never read by the game, write in minetest.conf.
