Solved Unable to connect to my server

[mjmac]

I am running a DW20 server on a separate machine dedicated to just that. I installed McMyAdmin for easier management. Besides that it is a basic install. I am unable to connect to the server from my other computer on the same lan. I have tried my internal ip 192.168.x.x and my external ip. I have forwarded the ip on my port and have confirmed it is open with open port checker http://www.yougetsignal.com/tools/open-ports/. I've also tried localhost on the off chance of that working. Nothing is working. The server is up. I have not edited any of the configs yet. I wanted to make sure I could connect first before I go and start chaning things around. I did check the FAQ on this page and I have tried those steps.

Server is running Ubuntu server 12.04.4 8gb ram. Suggestions? Where do I look next?

Can you post your server.log? It should sy what ip it is listening on with its port.

Something you have is stopping the server, it is shutting down not crashing, the forge logs may provide more info. Post those.

 

[mjmac]

Too big to post. Those restarts might be from me restarting the server. Pastebin also will not take the entire log-file. It's about 1.5mb Suggestions?

 

[Connor Gavitt]

Get paste bin pro, or start swapping out the server.log on boot, for starters rename server.log to server.low.swp and send me the new one it makes.

 

[mjmac]

Ok this is weird. I do have pastebin. The forge logs are too big for it. I renamed the server.log to what you said. I then stopped the server and started it back up again. It did NOT create a new file. In fact barely ANY files have been updated. I sorted by date last modified and most of them are 2 days old.

Oh I'm sorry for misleading you, swap your forge logs by renaming it forge log.log to forge log.log.swp and the server will make a new smaller log you can paste.

Yep no idea wth is going on. Renamed those also and it is not writing any logs. At least not in the place it should be the Minecraft folder. Going to do a fresh install tomorrow and hope this gets taken care of. If not I will be back. Thanks for the help.

Fresh install and some more tweaking finally got it working. Closed.
