Figured out why the disk didn't work, I reinstalled MineOS; once again without any errors. The same thing is happening. I still cannot FTP to the server. I am following your setup guide to the t, SSH and the Admin webpage still work, but none of my FTP clients can connect. I also ensured the drive was completely wiped. Everything still looks like it installed correctly... I might attempt reinstalling with RAMDISK enabled to see if that changes anything. But, not until tomorrow, I'm tired =D
Thank you so much for all your help hex. You'll be getting a donation from me whether or not this works. =D
You could check the /var/log/bftpd.log to see if there are any other error messages other than the 421 error. You should see the "Successfully logged in as user 'tc' message I'd imagine, then the error after that.
I'm not sure if this is it or if I'm way off topic, but you could check the /etc/bftpd.conf file
when connected via ssh, type cd /etc press enter, then type vi bftpd.conf. Find the section
#ROOTDIR specifies the root directory of the client. It defaults to %h
#(user's home directory). %u is replaced by the user name.
ROOTDIR="/mnt/sda1/minecraft"
And check if its filled in - According to the bftpd code, this is what is generating the error below. I'm not a programmer, so I could be off, but it appears that its finding the rootdir parameter empty, so trying to load the /home/tc folder (if I'm wrong on that - anyone correct me... like I said - i'm not a programmer at all)
389 } /* end of using anonymous login */
390 else /* we are using file authentication */
391 {
392 /* get home directory */
393 strcpy(str, config_getoption("ROOTDIR"));
394 if (! str[0])
395 strcpy(str, "%h");
396 replace(str, "%h", home_directory, MAX_STRING_LENGTH);
397 replace(str, "%u", user, MAX_STRING_LENGTH);
398
399 /* see if we should change root */
400 if (! strcasecmp(config_getoption("DO_CHROOT"), "yes"))
401 {
402 if ( chroot(home_directory) )
403 {
404 control_printf(SL_FAILURE, "421 Unable to change root directory.\r\n");
405 exit(0);
406 }
407 if ( chdir("/") )
408 {
409 control_printf(SL_FAILURE, "421 Unable to change working directory.\r\n");
410 exit(0);
411 }
412 }

Marcbmann,
Did you change the bftpd config at all? (specifically the rootdir setting? ) - or perhaps the permissions on the /mnt/sda1 (or hda1)/minecraft folder?
So - i did the upgrade of the OS... and the minecraft.jar file upgrade. I have MAP buttons on World 2 and World 3 pages on the adminpage... but on World 1 (which is where my world is... ) I don't.. The Map button isn't there.
The C10t-1.4 folder is in the main minecraft folder though, but not in the world one folder.. is there something else I need to do?
All the worlds should have the MAP button, but it could be that your browser is just caching the old copy (since presumably you used one more). Its definitely there, but due to the way its called via javascript, the whole 'refresh it a hundred times' many not even work. Clear out your cache (if youre using FF or Chrome, for the last hour) and it should show up on next refresh.
Thanks. that worked.. i'm used to just having Ctl-F5 work.. but I had to fully delete all the cache as you suggested..
I guess i misunderstood as well what the map button would do.. I thought it would create and open the map.. is that what is supposed to happen? or does it save the map file itself and people need to access it remotely?
So - i did the upgrade of the OS... and the minecraft.jar file upgrade. I have MAP buttons on World 2 and World 3 pages on the adminpage... but on World 1 (which is where my world is... ) I don't.. The Map button isn't there.
The C10t-1.4 folder is in the main minecraft folder though, but not in the world one folder.. is there something else I need to do?
I did the update using the button "update server files" - how do I access the mapping? I don't see any new buttons on the web interface after i did the server update (do I need to reboot?)
I know this question isn't specific to MineOS... but - when you start a second or third world.. how to people connect to that specific world? (does each world need a separate IP? or can you specify the port in the client when connecting?)
Hey I'm having a problem with MineOS (running on VirtualBox). I installed it and everything, then I updated the stuff etc, configured everything, ran "sudo filetool.sh -b" to save changes to the virtual disk, and did "sudo reboot". No matter what I change, when I reboot the system it resets to the installation state (every new file deleted etc). This is sort of annoying and I can't do anything with MineOS if it just deletes my stuff every time it restarts. What might the problem be?
Make sure you are un-mounting the OS image within Virtual Box .. this was what I was finding until I remembered to unmount it. So that it doesn't boot from the image, but instead from your install
Ahh - no.. i was using VBoxheadlessTray that was advertised on their forums. When I start using the vboxheadless.exe, how do I specify the microcode tce=sda1 to the boot option ?
Also.. is the command prompt supposed to stay open after typing the VBoxHeadless --startvm MineOS ? as soon as I close the command prompt box, the VM shuts down...
I updated MineOS just today which makes the bootcode (and ever having to type it in, obsolete). I'd recommend this, as it will simplify the headless experience immensely. As far as the command prompt, yes, that will have to remain open as far as I know, but luckily it shouldnt even take a small fraction of what having the GUI open should in memory footprint.
but - when i reboot, the boot line still waits for input. If I don't enter anything, it will proceed, but its not loading my stuff (as my admin password doesn't work, but if I enter the microcore tce=sda1, it boots correctly and I can login to the admin webpage.
How can I confirm the upgrade worked? I also notice that the admin.sh file keeps getting overwritten on each reboot. I know this, because i edit the variables on the admin.sh file, then reboot, and my changes are undone (and I confirm they were successfully changed before rebooting.).. I didn't get any error messages.. and I did the sudo filetool.sh -b when i was done too.
Where am I going wrong? I can see the font changes, and the admin.sh has the dec 31st date on it...
edit: I created a new VM with the new OS image, and it worked this time.. not sure what happened on the upgrade.. when i removed the os image from the CD drive (unmounted it) from the upgrade image, i got an error about no bootable image available.. :sad.gif:
Well - worked right away with Virtualbox ... guess VMware is hit and miss...
i just wish Virtualbox 4.0 had a way to minimize to tray.. arrgg.. you'd think this would be a standard function for all VM software!! (the headless app doesn't work on 4.0).

Yes, been following that tutorial.. ensuring that i create an IDE drive after I remove the SCSI.
I deleted all the vmware files from the OS folder and tried again, but no dice still. I'm now using 1024 MB RAM, 10 GB of IDE HD space (got tired of waiting for 20 GB to get pre-allocated). Bridged ethernet as well.
There aren't even any error messages, and I can't type anything on the screen - so troubleshooting is difficult. I get the VMware splash screen but it only flashes across for like 1 second - then its blank screen with cursor in top left corner.
Doesn't look promising for me with VMware,.. maybe tomorrow I'll try removing vmware and giving virtual box a try.
edit: hmmmm.. didn't help - still hung up on blank black screen..
