Error help!! Authentication Servers Are Down Please Try Again Later

Please help! When I try to login to my server this pops up! Authentication Servers Are Down Please Try Again Later. And on the console it says Authentication Servers Are Down Please Try Again Later! Sorry! What should I do??

 

blubber980 At what time was this happening? My first guess reading that would be that it's an issue on Mojang's end, but if it's continuing to happen, it's most likely not. Can you please provide your server log using www.pastebin.com

And its been doing this for the past 4 days with multiple restarts

blubber980 Sorry for the late reply. If you want a fast response from me, please "Tahg" my name.
Are you running the server locally or via a host?
Can anyone else connect to your server?
Can you also provide your server.properties

 

Whenever you get this error message, go to help.mojang.com and see if all services are reported as being up. If not, you just have to wait for them to fix their services.

If they are up, then your server is having an issue connecting to them. Might be a firewall preventing connection or if on a Windows PC, maybe there are entries in your C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\etc\hosts that are re-directing mojang sites elsewhere (such as a virus/trojan trying to intercept your ID/password)

blubber980 I'm not really sure what might be causing this to happen besides what LHammonds said.
Try doing what he suggested, or disabling your firewall all together for testing purposes.

 

I have disabled the firewall and no viruses or such xDeeKay

 

blubber980 this problem is common so its not rare this happens to big servers to. MInecraft cant Authentication your name so dont worry it will be fixed soon

 

JordyPwner xDeeKay this has been going on for a while now been goin on for almost a month. and I can connect to all other servers? It will be fixed soon doesn't cut it

blubber980 then idk normal it should already be fixed. try to contact mojang.

 

Change "online-mode=true" to "online-mode=false" in server.properties and see if you can connect via "localhost"

Even if you have no internet access at all, this "should" let you connect I think...but maybe not...I have not tried and I think I read somewhere that the minecraft launcher won't connect to any multiplayer servers if you don't have Internet access (they used to).

Give that a shot and let us know. However, this is not a permanent solution and would only let you play on your local machine (not even close to a good idea when it comes to others connecting and playing)

I have tried to set it to offline I can connect with my ip because im not at my house right now. I have control of everything via MCMA and FileZilla but with online it doesn't LHammonds

 

Something somewhere must be blocking Mojang services on the machine running your server or your internet router.

 

I am very sorry for the late reply, I had the exact same problem.

How I fixed it:
I checked my port forwarding and my computer (local IP I think) IP had changed, I simply changed all the port forwarding to port forward from my computer the servers where being run on. I hope this fixed it for you, bye.
