Cannot connect to auth server - Moltz - 03-17-2014
Just downloaded MCServer but I can't log in. I get this error every time:
cannot connect to auth server "session.minecraft.net"
I have a valid Minecraft user ID which I can successfully log in to other servers with. My son can't log into the MCServer instance with his account either. I'm using the latest MCServer build for OS X (31df0268).

Hi, welcome to the forum.
You could try disabling the auth if the server is on your local network only: http://wiki.mc-server.org/doku.php?id=configure:settings.ini#authentication_section
The auth is working for me on the public Gallery server, so I suppose it is just a network issue of sorts.

Thanks, that did work. I thought of that but was confused about where that file was located. Turns out it just gets created right in my home directory which doesn't seem like a standard location for a Mac installation (I'd think a better place would be /library/application support/MCServer). However, up and running now for what I want! Thanks.

We create the settings files in the working directory. So if you run it from your home directory the settings will be in your home directory. We support a lot of systems and trying to locate the standard location for settings on all of them would be a nightmare(%APPDATA% on windows, application support on a mac, /etc or /home on linux/FreeBSD).

Understood. I was more making excuses for why I couldn't find it.

I and was also more explaining for anyone who comes across this in the future.
