Running (pid 0)

[Ericode]

Hello everyone!

When I create a server through whmcs everything works great. (Then why am I here?) The server is created in tcadmin 2 with a pid ##### but after a few seconds or minutes, the pid is 0 and no one can connect to that server. If you try to ping the server ip, it is at a 100% packet loss but I have ran servers without tcadmin and they worked fine. I do get an error in the monitor console (debug) that says "No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it ip: port." The firewall is disabled and so is the antivirus. Do you know what might be causing this problem? Thanks everyone and happy new year!

This means that the server crashes a bit after startup.

Go to Service settings; behind the commandline there's a preview option.

Then enter those commands into cmd and see what errors it throws.

You are right. One issue though is it says "Stopped: ip : port (rule detected: server - ip <> ip)"

I tried taking out the ip address and putting the ip inside the config file and both do not work. Any suggestions for this?

Where does it say that?

[Ericode]

in the debug console, the server keeps stopping from this issue.

Minecraft port; check if Java is allowed in firewall n whatnot?

Depending if you have Windows Firewall enabled.

[Ericode]

The firewall is disabled

[Dennis]

Yes, the server will be stopped, but that has nothing to do with pid 0. Are you even sure that Java is installed?

[Ericode]

Yes, I have java jdk and jre installed. (i develop applications in java and i also ran servers without tcadmin that worked fine)

That might be the problem. You can't start it on ip 0.0.0.0. It won't be able to query the server.

[Ericode]

The basic config is :

#######################################

# DO NOT CHANGE THE SERVER IP OR PORT #

#######################################

server-ip=$[service.IpAddress]

server-port=$[service.GamePort]

Where is it getting 0.0.0.0 from?

[Dennis]

The server.properties can't look like that. Minecraft creates it's on server.properties once it starts up.

 

Open the server.properties (not the template, but the actual file) and look.

[Ericode]

Yeah, it says

server-ip=

When I try

server-ip=iphere

it says failed to bind to port and it can't connect with the ip. The ip I use here is the global ip of the server (ipv4)

[Dennis]

If it says that, then the IP doesn't work on the server. By 'global', you don't mean the internal IP (192.168.x.xxx), do you? Because that won't work.

[Ericode]

No I don't. I am using the server ip, (type "whatsmyip" in google). Do you have any other suggestions?

[Dennis]

Hmmm, I'm clueless then. If the IP is configured on the server, and you start the Minecraft server with that IP, then I can't see why it wouldn't work.

[Raizio]

You need to use the IP that is in the network interface.

Yeah I believe I am using it. My steam servers work, just not the minecraft.

I have been getting PID errors when I create new servers. The issue is with permissions. The main file that TCAdmin is trying to access isn't permissioned properly.
