This has been coming up a lot so I thought I'd make it clear and sticky it.

Yes - McMyAdmin will be supporting Bukkit, and I am actively working with Bukkit developers (Thanks lukegb!) to make sure this happens.

If all goes well, you'll be able to use the Bukkit plugin repository directly from McMyAdmin, and it will be able to download and install plugins automatically for you with just a few clicks.

Just don't ask me when it's coming, because I haven't got a clue ;)

 

That's great news!  For the brave, is there a way to get McMyAdmin to reference the Bukkit jar now and not wait for official support?  I had thought of just renaming the Bukkit jar to minecraft_server.jar.  Thoughts?

Great software btw.  Keep up the good work!

Thanks,

You can rename it as a hack to get the preview version working. Thats pretty much it until its supported officially.

 

thanks, I came here just to ask about this. One question though how do I run it like hrpdrp suggested? do I just have to rename it that or must I do more?
thank you for excusing my stupidity and hopefully answering my question

 

You just have to rename it. This won't be required once proper integration is in place.

 

I was wondering what i have to rename it to to get it to work, Every-time i start the server it says starting then crashes

 

"minecraft_server.jar"

 

Does that need to be in the addons folder or just replacing minecraft_server.jar?

 

Just replacing the server jar.

 

It seems that the latest craftbukkit doesn't play well with McMyAdmin.
console commands changed, e.g. you have to use a # before a command

say test
2011-01-18 12:29:34 [INFO] Unknown console command. Type "#help" for help.
#say test
2011-01-18 12:29:32 [INFO] [CONSOLE] test

I also know that craftbukkit is "on the bleeding edge" all the time and it's impossible for now to keep up with everything changed (builds are made almost every hour), but it might give you the heads up, so watch out with updating craftbukkit to install new plugins.

 

This is working quite well on my server.  I run a dedicated Ubuntu server.  These are the steps I used:

Download a build of Bukkit from their site, specifically you need craftbukkit-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar.  Unless you plan to develope plugins, you do not need the bukkit jar, just the craftbukkit.jar.

http://forums.bukkit.org/threads/faq-1-where-do-i-download-bukkit-craftbukkit.458/

I'm using build 66 and am quite happy with it, but I realize they are updating super fast so 66 is surely out of date.

Place craftbukkit-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar in your minecraft server directory.

In linux, I did this:

rename the minecraft_server.jar to something else:
mv minecraft_server.jar minecraft_server_original.jar

create a symbolic link to minecraft_server.jar from craftbukkit jar:
ln -s minecraft_server.jar raftbukkit-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar

That's it.  Worked like a charm.  I did the symbolic link so I could easily update the craftbukkit jar and not have to rename it again.

PhonicUK: I understand if you don't want people doing this so feel free to tell me off or delete my post :)

Confirmed working, commands do not.  The added # is annoying.

 

neither does shutting down the server. it freezes and you have to force stop it. i woke up today to find my server in limbo after the daily scheduled restart it was supposed to have this morning.

i think official support is ready, bukkit is running really smoothly on my server otherwise.

 

Any updates as of yet?  I have not been able to get the "renaming" workaround to work:

------------------

If I delete the renamed (craftbukkit-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar -> Minecraft_Mod.jar) from the Addons folder... launches fine. :-/

 

doh - disregard, guess I missed what I was supposed to be "renaming"....

When I renamed the CORRECT file - it worked. ;-)

Still, would be nice to know when "we will haz bukkit".
(sorry couldn't resist) :-P

 

Any Update on the Bukkit Support being Fully intergrated into McMyAdmin?

I run a Server with your software that I paid for, and I would like to see some replacement for hMod.

Any info at all as to where this project is at would be great bud :D And seriously, You are a Very Nice Guy to talk to in IRC. Thanks for not blowing me off. :)

 

Full Bukkit support will come after the proper Bukkit release.

 

PhonicUK your Killing me with such short responces Lol. But Its cool.

Do you have any more info on when we might be looking at seeing this "Proper" Bukkit release, Seeing as you are working with the Guys Developing this new Mod?

No Pressure, I am just looking at a rough time line, Spring, Summer, fall? Can you give us something so we can Post for our Users some idea about when they will be sing this intergration? Just to get them off my Back, Anything AT all will be a huge help.

Thanks Guy;

You're asking the wrong person, ask the Bukkit guys. I don't move until they release :P

Ok Fair enough. Would you be able to say if it will be a simple task for you to integrate it into McMyAdmin after it is released?
