[RESOLVED by using stable version] Help with server

[Trixter313]

I set a server up and gave my friend the proper address etc. and when he adds the server it gets a ping of about 23 but when he tries to connect it says "Connecting to server", waits a while then says "Disconnected from server". I can't connect to the server either, when i use the IP the ping switches from 0 to 1 but does the same thing that happens to my cousin. The computer I'm using is also the host of the server.

I tested the port 64738 and it says it's open and not blocked by my ISP.

I followed the tutorial and am very frustrated, any help would be awesome, thanks!

My murmur.ini file:

# Murmur configuration file.

#

# General notes:

# * Settings in this file are default settings and many of them can be overridden

# with virtual server specific configuration via the Ice or DBus interface.

# * Due to the way this configuration file is read some rules have to be

# followed when specifying variable values (as in variable = value):

# * Make sure to quote the value when using commas in strings or passwords.

# NOT variable = super,secret BUT variable = "super,secret"

# * Make sure to escape special characters like '\' or '"' correctly

# NOT variable = """ BUT variable = "\""

# NOT regex = \w* BUT regex = \\w*

# Path to database. If blank, will search for

# murmur.sqlite in default locations or create it if not found.

Is your friend external? Did you forward port 64738 within your network?

[Trixter313]

Is your friend external? Did you forward port 64738 within your network?

My friend is on a different network and I port forwarded the port 64738 both UDP and TCP.

Since my friend is getting the ping I assumed that the port forwarding and network part was working correctly.

[Lindee]

whenever i've made a mumble server, i've never once changed the "host=" field...i've always left it in its default state. I don't mean any disrespect with this next question but my years of support have taught me "ask all the questions": are you giving your friend the 192.168.*.* IP address?

No offense taken lol, best to ask than assume. I am not giving my friend my computer router IP address, I gave him my public IP address like the one that Google will tell you if you google whats my IP. :)

Edit: I should also say that I can't connect to the server either... when i use the IP the ping switches from 0 to 1 but does the same thing that happens to my cousin. The computer I'm using is also the host of the server.

[Lindee]

Is the ping your friend doing the active mumble ping for the server list or just a straight command line ping? Is the host IP that you have in the file an IP address of the computer the server is running on?

Is that the entirety of your log file? I'm just wondering if your log even shows your friend trying to connect.

I'm still trying to narrow down the problem so any information I can get could help.

It is the ping that shows in the connect to a server list.

Yes, that is the computers static IP address.

Yes, that is the entire log. No sign of my friend at all.

[Lindee]

I can think of only a few possibilities here...

A) your friend is trying to connect to the wrong IP

B) the firewall rules aren't set properly

C) running multiple instances of Murmur and they are getting confused

D) the completed host field is somehow causing a conflict.

Have others connected to your server? have you tried connecting to it from your smartphone (while not on wifi)?

A.) They have the correct IP

B.) Maybe... I don't know how to fix that though or even test to see if thats the problem

C.) There is only one Murmur, I had them restart their computer and double check that there was only one afterwards.

D.) If I comment out the host code it says

No-one has connected ever yet, not even me, it does the same to me.

Edit: Tried the app, it says the server is offline if I'm connected to the wifi but if I'm not on wifi it says online! It still won't connect to the server though...

Also, if I use the hosts router assigned static IP on the same wifi it says the server is online but it still won't connect.

Edited the previous post. :)

I would uncommercial out the host line, but delete the IP address from it, as the blank host is what should activate the default code action.

Also, if you are connecting to mumble to murmur on the same computer try connecting to 127.0.0.1

There is a website, I forget the name but google should help, to test if a port is open.

I deleted the ip from the host line and in the log it says,

"2014-09-20 09:50:40.759 1 => Failed to bind UDP Socket to 0.0.0.0:64738"

again which is why I put an IP address there in the first place. Also when I leave it blank no-one gets a ping and the app says offline when I do have an IP there the app says online and clients get pings but neither can connect.

Tried 127.0.0.1 just now; no ping at all and can't connect.

I already checked with the site that the guide recommends and it said the ports were open.

Sorry it took a while to respond, I was refreshing the page but your post was on the next page so didn't see it.

I hope we can get this to work... It sounded like the perfect thing me and my friends needed since Skype's voice chat was lagging and their computers aren't so good so their games lag a lot with Skype.

Good to hear that you got it to work. I know how frustrating it can be when you're trying to set it up and it doesn't work. I just wish we could have gotten it to work with 1.3.0
