[ solved ] help! server will not load, this error

[Morn76]

prehaps i can backup the world and get a new operating system. maybe arch. does pacman have minetest on it???

Yes, it does. Also, Manjaro seems to be getting really popular as a more user-friendly Arch derivative. Not that Arch is not user-friendly once properly installed; especially for a server it's actually pretty great I think.

yeah, i plan to get some form of arch prob not arch itself. i use distrowatch for that :P :D

Yes, Distrowatch is very useful to see which distros are up-and-coming. https://lwn.net/ is the other Linux distro mainstay, although some Arch devs hate it because it forced them to finally implement package signing a few years ago.

But remember not to use the Arch forum to ask about problems with Manjaro or Antergos. They hate that. Even more so than LWN. :-) No really, they do.

I've tried Manjaro Xfce in a VM on Arch a few days ago and liked it. If it gets some of the benefits of Arch to the, shall we say, point-and-click crowd, I'm all for it. They even have an official KDE version.

lol i'll remember that :P

Oh I forgot, don't mention that systemd sucks on the Arch forums either. The Arch gods don't like it when their decisions are questioned.

The good news is that installing and running Arch is a piece of cake compared to its touchy forum etiquette. :-)

[Fedora24]

sounds good, i'm working on getting manjaro on :)

I'll let you know how it goes when i'm all set :)

2017-01-30 22:43:53: ERROR[CurlFetch]: servers.minetest.net/announce not found (HTTP response code said error) (response code 500)


but i am on the internet! i can curl websites succesfully. ????

As I understand, this is due to the "Server announce" feature. This feature allows your server to be listed on the "Servers" tab on the main menu for all Minetest users. Although this is eventually desirable, try disabling it to see if the server will run.

In the minetest.conf file:

server_announce = false

i figured out the issue. i got another version of fedora and i have it up now. thanks for your help though!

[trev]

Awesome, you're welcome.

marked as solved

When you say you've removed everything and reinstalled, what exactly have your removed? I know of several things you have to take out. Could you have missed something such as the .minecraft folder in $HOME ?

[Fedora24]

full reinstlall but i used the same .minetest folder,
