Server Failed in under 30 seconds

[act4]

Can't start my server as I get this error "Server failed in under 30 seconds ( possible config error? )". I have not made any config changes. Help would be appreciated.

Never set/used a jail on the server...

I've submitted a support ticket.

It means ur server was jailed. Too much CPU or RAM useage, something preventing from starting or a bug in their system. It can be one of these.

Once again have you updated the minecraft_server.jar ? If not then it will be one of the above.

Support: Server was creating big error logs filling up the hard disk.

Problem has been resolved

I will look into upgrading the server

[Zelif]

I make sure my logs rarely reach over 1mb, so always keep an eye on them, once they start spamming I guess MP will jail the server. ;D

jail is how the servers are started. Sounds like you where restarting the server and it started again before it had shutdown.

Simply hitting start after a few seconds should be enough to fix this, if not drop a ticket into Multiplay Support

I left the server for 30 mins before starting and got the same error, K. Anyway its fixed now.

I've submitted a support ticket for upgrading, no response yet. MH52139.

Got a response saying that the error log got too big, it was fixed. Upgrading the server is a separate ticket but it was also advised considering CPU usage.
