Trouble changing port

[restless1987]

Hi There!

I've set up a stock MC-Server with quite standart settings (besides of name and seed) and want to set up a tekkit lite server at the same time.

so i downloaded the files, extractet, and changed the properties a bit. Only thing i have to do is, change the port to a differend number than it was.

#Minecraft server properties

generator-settings=

allow-nether=true

level-name=world

enable-query=false

allow-flight=false

server-port=26555

level-type=DEFAULT

enable-rcon=false

level-seed=-568688860

server-ip=

max-build-height=256

spawn-npcs=true

white-list=false

spawn-animals=true

snooper-enabled=true

hardcore=false

texture-pack=

online-mode=true

pvp=true

difficulty=1

gamemode=0

max-players=20

spawn-monsters=true

generate-structures=true

view-distance=10

spawn-protection=16

motd=Benes TekkiLite-Himmel

What is it, that I did wrong? The server ignores the settings and tries to start with 25565 (stock-setting) and fails to bind the port, as there is still the vanilla-server running on it.

Did you port forward?

[restless1987]

Its a root Server. Dont really think i have to. But the server should start anyway, if it's reachable over the net or not, right?

[Jimmy_Rustles]

Why don't you just get a host, they'll set it up for you

Found out that it totally ignores the server.properties. Now I have the following files inside my tekkit-folder.

banned-ips.txt                 

LogisticsPipes-Request.log

banned-players.txt             

minecraft_server.jar

config                         

mods

coremods                       

ops.txt

ForgeModLoader-server-0.log     

server.log

ForgeModLoader-server-0.log.lck 

server.properties

launch.sh                       

TekkitLite.jar

lib                             

white-list.txt

Is there a different place to change server-settings? If not, the server-package is broken...

I just downloaded a fresh copy of the Tekkit Lite 0.6.5 server files and it works for me. Does a new server.properties get generated if you rename (or delete) it and run the server?

[restless1987]

Found the solution by accident...

Dont know why anybody should do this, it doesnt make any sence and really fucks up my server-folder structure, but: it creates and saves all additional data (e.g. world.dir, sever.properties, etc.) in /home instead of the folder where the minecraft-server.jar is.

So, when you want to create a tekkitlite-server, you now have to create it in /home or /home/documents, at least your running it an a linux-server

That is bizarre, what distro are you running? I helped a friend setup a Tekkit Lite server on a machine running Ubuntu last month and we didn't encounter this issue.

Also, thanks for posting your findings.

Using Ubuntu 11.04 (at least I think so)

If you run it from a start script, it uses the server package. If you open it with Java, it uses your home directory and nothing in the server package works properly.
