Server Not Starting - Troubleshooting

Server Not Starting - Troubleshooting

Step 1: Check the Console

Open your server's control panel and check the console for error messages. Common errors include:

• Missing files or corrupted installations
• Port conflicts
• Configuration syntax errors
• Insufficient resources

Step 2: Check Resource Usage

In your NoobHost dashboard, check if your server is hitting resource limits:

• CPU Sustained 100% may cause issues
• RAM Out of memory will crash the server
• Disk Full disk prevents saves and logs

Step 3: Verify Configuration

A typo in a config file can prevent startup:

• Check for syntax errors in JSON/XML/properties files
• Revert recent config changes
• Compare with default configuration

Step 4: Reinstall

If the server files are corrupted:

1. Back up your world/save data via SFTP
2. Use the Reinstall option in the server settings
3. Upload your save data back after reinstallation

Step 5: Contact Support

If none of the above works, open a support ticket with:

• Your server ID
• Error messages from the console
• Recent changes you made
