My MCPE server is running off of a Linux VPS. It is currently running this build of PMMP. Seen as it is a VPS I have to access my files using filezilla and manage my console through Putty or the web console that the VPS comes with. My issue has to do with the server.properties file. When I log into filezilla and go to the file and download it I then change some things in it such as the amount of players it can hold, rcon settings, and the MOTD. (I use word to edit it) I then save the file, delete the file already there and then upload my edited file. I have tried doing /reload and that didn't seem to update the settings that I had put in place. I then tried to stop and then ./start.sh the server. I quit filezilla and then got back on it to see if the file was the same and the file size had changed. I then viewed the file and saw that it had completely deleted my work and set it back to default. I tried repeating the process but the same thing occurred. Am I just being stupid and missing something or am I doing this wrong? Here are the Plugins I am running: [01:40:16] [Server thread/INFO]: Plugins (10): SimpleAuth v1.8.1, SimpleAuthHelper v2.0.5, VoteReward v3.0.2, EssentialsPE v2.0.0, PurePerms v1.4.0-INDEV, EconomyAPI v5.7.1, EconomySell v2.0.7, EconomyLand v2.1.0, EconomyShop v2.0.8, PureChat v1.4.1 Spoiler: This is what my servr.properties file looks like (The edited one) #Properties Config file #Fri Jun 16 01:03:52 UTC 2017 motd=Welcome to Potato Crafty server-port=19132 white-list=off announce-player-achievements=on spawn-protection=1 max-players=50 allow-flight=off spawn-animals=on spawn-mobs=on gamemode=0 force-gamemode=off hardcore=off pvp=on difficulty=1 generator-settings= level-name=world level-seed= level-type=DEFAULT enable-query=on enable-rcon=on rcon.password=InsertRCONHere (This is here so you don't see this password) auto-save=on view-distance=8 If you need to know more information in order to assist me then just tell me what you need.
Firstly, Use Jenkins for now on. https://jenkins.pmmp.io/job/PocketMine-MP/lastSuccessfulBuild/. check there every day for new releases. Secondly, Do NEVER use Microsoft Word to do this. It just breaks things. Use a text editor / IDE. On windows, I use http://brackets.io. Other people use "Notepad++" Try one of them.
I will try what you are saying. EDIT: I have installed brackets and edited the file following the same procedures. Working perfectly! Thank you @TheDeibo !
You can't use word to edit your server.properties. Try something like Notepad++. Also, you have to stop your server before replacing the default server.properties with a custom one. If you delete the one already there while the server is online, it will simply regenerate the original.
