World not loading?

Hi guys.

Hurricane Irene hit this morning, and cut the power to my server. Thankfully, that was about the extent of the damage. Unfortunately though, I've run into a nasty error that isn't letting me run my server.

Server details: Ubuntu 10.1, Intel Xeon 2.4ghz quad core, 8gb RAM, and the rest isn't really relevant. It's a 64 bit OS, though. CB Build 1000/1060 has the same error, so yeah, but I usually run 1000.

I run minecraft.sh to load craftbukkit.jar, and all is going well until I get the following error upon loading up the default world (named Banana).

I've tried EVERYTHING - reinstalling java, running without plugins, removing all worlds and letting it generate new ones (this by the way causes the same error, so I don't think it's a problem with that world in particular) and several other things.

Any help? Here's the error:

I just tried stopping the server with just "stop" and got this, and I'm 100% not kidding:

>stop
01:23:06 [INFO] I'm sorry, Dave, but I cannot let you do that.

You cannot issue stop commands in game. You have to do it through the console. Also, you're not an Op, since that's an Op command and the message you see is displayed for those who don't have enough permissions.

 

The worlds aren't loading, so no one can even get in game, much less myself. I am issuing the command through the console.

 

Do you use any plugins?

 

Yes. I tried running the server without plugins already. I also tried a fresh craftbukkit, letting it generate a new world file, etc.

Hmm. Fixed it. seems to be that the server simply did not want to load a world by the name of Banana, so if anyone ever has a similar problem, here's what I did: I generated a new world named "world" by doing so in serverproperties.txt or whatever, and then moved the data files from the Banana folder to the world folder. Then I replaced all strings "Banana" with "world" in all of my plugins. works like a charm now.
