Server doesn't start even though it returns "succesful"

Command Line
1

I have just installed MineOS on CentOS 7. Everything seemed to go OK. I can access and login to the web UI fine, and I have created a profile and server. I am already using mineOS without issues on another server running CentOS 6, so I don’t believe there is an issue with my server settings. I have also tried running the server manually by calling java directly “/usr/bin/java -server -Xmx4G -Xms4G -jar /var/games/minecraft/servers/Survival2016/Survival2016.jar”, this works fine.

When I click start using the web UI, it returns green “start [success]”. But the server doesn’t actually start (server log doesn’t change). Same happens when running it via the command “./mineos_console.py -s Survival2016” which returns “{start} completed successfully.”.

mineos.log:

Any ideas?

Question 1: Are you using the Python MineOS (rather than the NodeJS MineOS) deliberately? The node-based one is current–I work on development regularly; the Python one still works, but is rather dated.

The error you’re getting says that MineOS can’t find rdiff-backup, a dependency for creating backups and restoring files. While I think it should be unrelated to the issue you’re having, it’s possible it just wants all the deps to be there before it does … anything.

Sorry, didn’t know there was a newer version. I was using the same method I used when I installed mineOS a year or so ago. :stuck_out_tongue:

Edit: So I have switched to Ubuntu (packages on centos were PITA) and installed node version. I can now run servers properly and the latest web UI is much better, great job! However I have quite a lot of custom scripts that rely on the python based commands/syntax. :frowning: Does the node version allow commands and is there a list of them similar to this: http://minecraft.codeemo.com/mineoswiki/index.php?title=0.5.0

Yes, the node version is called mineos_console.js. (js, not py)

So you can still do:

./mineos_console.js -s myserver stop

However, the available commands are not all the same, due to possible name changes or function splits (necessary to avoid massive code copy/pasting). Most of the main functions are the same, stop, backup, start, etc. But look at the code to find out the function names you’ll use for commands.
