Can you make your Bukkit server stay up 24/7?

I was wondering because i want my friends to be able to come on and enjoy the server will im not on.

 

Sorry my English is bad -.-
You must a Rootserver buying.

 

so i have to buy something?

 

A server is typically left on indefinitely. If your using your home computer as a "server," then you need to leave your computer on. With bukkit, running the server is as simple as running the script and enjoying.

 

I have the same problem, the server times out
the exact message when i try to connect after awhile is:
Failed to connect to server
Connection timed out:connect
I keep the script for the server open at all times.

 

That's the connection attempt timing out not the server. AKA the client cannot connect to the server.

 

Thanks, I am kind of a noob(member since yesterday)

 

That's quite alright, welcome. If either of you would like help, please provide more details.

 

Just so you know there are reasons why the server will just shutdown. Some people in the community in the bukkit tools section have written wonderful tools (and there are plugins too) that will keep your server running 24/7 by auto-restarting and scheduling restarts (as well as backing up your server).

Wonderful thing this bukkit community...

 

There is no reason bukkit needs to be "auto-restarted," backing up is a always good thing, but otherwise your post justs adds to the vague confusion of this thread.

The real question is: How does "TheLonelyOnion" have his server setup?

 

What do you mean by setup? like the layout of the whole system or something else?

where is that plugin located good sir?

What kind of computer is bukkit on? Is is a personal computer? Is it hosted somewhere? OS?

 

Plenty of tools here

Just need to pick the one you like.

I haven't used any myself yet, but here's one that seems good. Link

 

Home computer.

 

i also need to run my server 24/7 but cant figure that out, i'm running my server on my laptop and if i close the lid it times out and stops the server any suggestions?

 

@wolfen -- Just don't close your laptop xD

@TheLonelyOnion -- Of course! Just leave your computer running at all times, that's what I do

 

You guys need to find your power settings and make sure it doesn't go to sleep/suspend.

But I'm not sure, you guys are being very vague about what the problem is. You can leave the server running constantly.

 

Hey, I have a compltely different problem, but fits well to the title of this post. My server seems to have reloading issues.. mainly, it comes across something called "PermGen". To be more specific, I reload the server, it runs through fairly smoothly, and then WHAM! It gets all sad and spams -plugin no worky worky blah blah blah PermGen error- or something along those lines!
(I can't actually post my CMD here... I'm on vacation)

 

guys so i need to buy something to make a 24/7 server?

 

Who would i pay to make my server run 24/7?

 

Your electric company.
