I'm trying to make a minecraft server for some friends and myself, but I'm having some issues. I've tried everything I could find on YouTube but to no avail. When I try to connect to the localhost, I keep getting this message:
Localhost doesn't work all the time try your local ip address or Ipv4 address there the same thing use cmd and type ipconfig all that jazz
I've tried by typing in the IPv4 address and it gives me the same message. The server IP is currently left blank, but I've also tried with the server IP set to my IPv4 as well.
a server that is in online mode will attempt to verify all users that try to login into it with minecraft.net. The error suggests that it had an issue with that.
is there a way I can resolve this? or is that out of my control and up to minecraft.net
I can't tell you that part, I guess you can try pinging session.minecraft.net just open up command prompt and try the following command
ping session.mincraft.net
if it works you should see something like

or something else like that.
I ran that command and it seemed to be working properly. I still can't get onto my server though.

Can you connect to other servers ok and are other people able to connect to your server?
I can connect to other servers fine, but not my own local host. other people can't connect to mine either. I've set up the server correctly and port forwarded, but nothing seems to be working.
Do these people get the same error message on the server console?
Try changing
online-mode=true
to
online-mode=false
This is just to check that this is the issue, if it is then you should be able to login to the server with this set to false, this however is an unadvised way to run the server but we just need to be certain that is the issue for now.
Okay i changed online mode to false and now I can connect to my server. (my friend still can't, but that's probably because i changed online mode to false)
I believe your issue is that your server process can not see the internet, online_mode does not effect the servers ability to see the Internet, it only effects the authentication of users (true authenticate user against minecraft.net, false do not authenticate user against minecraft.net). I suspect the issue maybe with your port forwarding...
well I set up my router to allow minecraft through port 25565. should I adjust this so it ranges from that to 25570 or something?
Edit: I just checked my router settings and for some reason it didn't save the port forward setting. I'm gonna try and work with that for a while.
Hmmm, it's not about allowing it, it's about forwarding it so that traffic from port 25565 is sent to your computer, you will also need to ensure that minecraft server is not firewalled off on your computer either, by say windows firewall.
So i should adjust my firewall settings. got it. Let me check that.
Edit: I changed the firewall settings to allow the server through and now it works properly. thank you for all your help.
Second edit: I can connect, and my friend can connect, but our other friend cannot. it keeps telling him the server is outdated. fixed it.
Disconnecting Praetors [/127.0.0.1:54956]: Failed to verify username! [internal error java.net.UnknownHostException: session.minecraft.net]
What exactly does this message mean and what can I do to remedy it?
I've tried by typing in the IPv4 address and it gives me the same message. The server IP is currently left blank, but I've also tried with the server IP set to my IPv4 as well.
