More than a year ago I installed Minecraft on a Debian workstation. The user was quite happy and had no interest in upgrading it or networking it. Now they want it upgraded to the latest version to support mods. I try to connect to the Minecraft server and I get the below error. Any tips on what I should do? As an aside I've upgraded the system to Debian/Testing, I think it was running Squeeze when I first connected to the Minecraft server (which you have to do to get game data files etc). java.io.FileNotFoundException: http://session.minecraft.net/game/getversion.jsp? at sun.net.www.protocol.http.HttpURLConnection.getInputStream(HttpURLConnection.java:1401) at net.minecraft.Util.excutePost(Util.java:76) at net.minecraft.LauncherFrame.login(LauncherFrame.java:80) at net.minecraft.LoginForm$3.actionPerformed(LoginForm.java:61) at java.awt.Button.processActionEvent(Button.java:409) at java.awt.Button.processEvent(Button.java:377) at java.awt.Component.dispatchEventImpl(Component.java:4629) at java.awt.Component.dispatchEvent(Component.java:4455) at java.awt.EventQueue.dispatchEventImpl(EventQueue.java:649) at java.awt.EventQueue.access$000(EventQueue.java:96) at java.awt.EventQueue$1.run(EventQueue.java:608) at java.awt.EventQueue$1.run(EventQueue.java:606) at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method) at java.security.AccessControlContext$1.doIntersectionPrivilege(AccessControlContext.java:105) at java.security.AccessControlContext$1.doIntersectionPrivilege(AccessControlContext.java:116) at java.awt.EventQueue$2.run(EventQueue.java:622) at java.awt.EventQueue$2.run(EventQueue.java:620) at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method) at java.security.AccessControlContext$1.doIntersectionPrivilege(AccessControlContext.java:105) at java.awt.EventQueue.dispatchEvent(EventQueue.java:619) at java.awt.EventDispatchThread.pumpOneEventForFilters(EventDispatchThread.java:275) at java.awt.EventDispatchThread.pumpEventsForFilter(EventDispatchThread.java:200) at java.awt.EventDispatchThread.pumpEventsForHierarchy(EventDispatchThread.java:190) at java.awt.EventDispatchThread.pumpEvents(EventDispatchThread.java:185) at java.awt.EventDispatchThread.pumpEvents(EventDispatchThread.java:177) at java.awt.EventDispatchThread.run(EventDispatchThread.java:138) -- My Main Blog http://etbe.coker.com.au/ My Documents Blog http://doc.coker.com.au/

Can you actually resolve and access that URL (http://session.minecraft.net/game/getversion.jsp?)? I just tested from a bunch of Linux servers around the place (dfferent ISP's) and some can resolve and some can't so maybe there is a DNS issue at the moment? www.minecraft.net appears to resolve just fine though.

The DNS issue wasn't occurring for me when I tested it (not sure if it had been occurring previously with the game access). Anyway it turned out to be that I had an ancient version of the minecraft.jar, the old version was ~50K and when I downloaded the new version at ~90K it started working. Strangely I had a similar Minecraft problem on another system which definitely had the latest minecraft.jar file. So I'll have to solve that next. -- My Main Blog http://etbe.coker.com.au/ My Documents Blog http://doc.coker.com.au/
