Bukkit

What is the problem?
I start my Bukkit server everything is running fine and then I get this from HawkEye. http://pastebin.com/njwfKk0Y
I'm new to MySQL and using anti-griefing plugins, but I know all the info from my config is right, so what's the problem?

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Starting the server
2. Reloading the server
3.

What version of HawkEye are you using (shown in console during start-up)?
1.0.5b

Show me any console errors and/or your start-up console message for HawkEye

Have you checked the FAQ page? I've honestly checked everywhere.

Additional Information: Since I'm new to this, I'm not sure if you need this but I use phpmyadmin to create my minecraft database (which obviously has no tables)

Hiya,

Not sure if this will help but this is how I fixed the error on my Amazon linux system. I only got the error on the entire server restart. Restarting bukkit itself was fine.

I finally worked out that the bukkit startup script I was using was executing before the mysql startup (or in my case the xampp startup). So I changed the order of service startup, rebooted for a test and lo and behold it worked fine.

Note I'm no Linux guru but I'm guessing the above error may have something to do with the mysql service not being ready?

I would try this but I don't know how, could you please explain how to change the order?

What operating system are you using? Windows/Linux?

Switched to HawkEye... works now. Thanks anyway.
