Solved HELP! Bukkit server won't save the status!

Hi! I have made a bukkit server for me and a friend to play survival co-op and we have made a house blah blah then i closed it normally. The next day i opened it to play again and when we have finnished i closed it. The next day when i start it it haven't saved our work from the previous day. Then we did it again, i closed it then next day again the same problem. i have got a plugin to autosave. still nothing. i used the /save-all integrated in bukkit. still nothing. I have searched google and nothing. Please if someoe can help me reply here!

 

Make sure that when you stop your server, you check the logs to make sure that everything is turning off smoothly. I don't reccomend using a third party plugin to stop your server, and I only ever have used bukkit's integrated saving system for my server. The possibility of conflict is too high, in my opinion, to use a third party plugin to save or stop a server.

 

Exactly how are you "closing" the server? If you mean you're closing the command prompt that you're running it in, you're not shutting it down properly and it's no wonder it's not saving.

Try typing "stop" in the server console and pressing enter.

 

When you stop your server do /stop. If you press the X you can't see if there's any problems while shutting down the server.

 

Dudes thats my problem i type /stop and nothing saves it closes it shows me saving players worlds but it doesn't save

 

Is it possible you have a corrupted sector on your HDD preventing the save? I'm not sure what your server OS is, but you can try to copy the entire contents of your server data to another location and run it from the new location and see if the symptoms continue.

Do not delete what is there, replicate it, because you don't want the same sectors to be overwritten with new data, so leave the old data intact until you have eliminated that possibility. If this solves the problem, repair the drive so it will skip the bad sectors (in windows the command is "chkdsk C: /f /r", *nix should be "fsck -r -F" you'll want to unmount the volume first, or schedule it to shutdown and run, "man fsck" for help docs (going off of memory here!)).

Post back and let us know if it is still acting wonky.

 

this solved my problem! Thank You!
