Can't see my server on public serverlist

[lisacvuk]

I where trying to create a simple survival server on my PC. I fowarded port 30000 by UDP protocol and started minetestserver with

I got several warnings:

And when i go to servers.minetest.net i cant find my server on the list.
Can you please tell me how to fix this?

[RHR]

Have you added "server_announce = true" in the minetest.conf ?
Create and maintain a server on Windows

[lisacvuk]

Yes, i did. Here is copy of server part in minetest.conf

I modified the part from configuration example.

[Krock]

Your configuration seems to be correct. Start the server and wait 2 minutes, then check the server list again.

[lisacvuk]

I was waiting up to 10 minutes and I could not see it on servers.minetest.net.
Maybe the problem is becose i have dynamic ip?

[lag01]

what is bind_address?
in version 4.9 i specified my external IP adress as server_address=x.x.x.x

[lisacvuk]

When I set bind_adress=93.87.208.188 i got this error:

[Krock]

Non-ASCII letters in the path can cause problems (also like the one above? I don't know)

[lisacvuk]

I recompiled minetest and tried again. Error:

[Krock]

Seems like the IP is wrong/not bindable and port 30000 is already used by an other application.

[lisacvuk]

That is my public ip, and I tried 3 diiferent ports.

[Calinou]

Port 30000 is probably used by something else, end of story.

Use something like 30001. Also, never change bind_address unless you know what you're doing. It's only if you use multiple network interfaces and bind_address should always be something local, not a public IP anyway.

By default, the listening line should look like this, it's right in 99 % of the cases, but in this case you'll probably have to change the port.

Your phone or window isn't wide enough to display the code box. If it's a phone, try rotating it to landscape mode.

Code: Select all

#strict_protocol_version_checking = false

Personally, I'd uncomment it and set that to true, to prevent some (not-so-legal) mobile clients from joining.

[sfan5]

bind_address should always be something local, not a public IP anyway.

Wrong.
VPS and Dedicated servers are not behind a router and can bind directly to a public IP.

[shadowzone]

go to whatsmyip.com to get your external ip then try running it from the server tab on the menu if that doesn't work pm me on irc isis.inchra.net @ #minetest

(Good luck!)

[lisacvuk]

now works, thanks everyone

[shadowzone]

Your welcome. But really the people who helped the most were sfan5, Calinou and Krock I didn't do much.

[lisacvuk]

Anyway, if anyone else has the same problem, I fixed it by replacing my modem and using configuration form Craig's server.

[Casimir]

I have the same problem with my server. Everything is running except it does not appear on the server list.
This is the conifg:

[lisacvuk]

have you tried config from craigs server?
