So I have done all required steps to run a Minecraft beta 1.5_01 server, but when I type "localhost" into multiplayer bar a "Logging In" sign appears and does not go away. After about a minute, I get an error that says: Internal Exception: java.new.SocketTimeoutException: Read timed out.

Does anyone know how to fix this?

    would you kindly post your server log and config file online so that we can diagnose it? –  May 14 '11 at 00:01

I believe I had run into a similar issue once before. From what I can recall, the issue was not with your server, rather it's an issue with authenticating with minecraft.net - even if you're connecting to localhost it still routes the username through that server.

What I did to resolve it for me in the meantime:

  1. Stop the server if it's already running
  2. Navigate to the folder where you have the server files
  3. Open up server.properties
  4. Find the line that says online-mode=true, change this to false
  5. Save the file
  6. Relaunch the server, see if it connects

Hope this helps!

Open up the server.properties and delete everything inside, and replace with this. Customized to your willing of couse...

Here's what is should be:

level-name=world
hellworld=false
spawn-monsters=true
online-mode=false
spawn-animals=true
max-players=20
server-ip=
pvp=true
server-port=25565
white-list=false

MAKE SURE server-ip= IS BLANK! There is no need to set it. You're probably doing 192.168.0.4 or similar. Leave it blank.

  • If he was using something like 192.168.0.4 etc he wouldn't have gotten the "logging in" sign –  May 21 '11 at 05:59
