How To Find Crash Reports

1. Log into Multicraft and select the server that you want to view crash reports for.
2. In the menu on the left side of the page, in the Files section, click Crash Reports.
3. All the crash reports generated by the server will be in the list below, sorted by date and time that they were generated.
4. Click on the name of the crash report you would like to look at.

Note: You can also find crash reports in the crash-reports folder if you are using FTP to browse the server files.

Finding Out What Went Wrong

Finding out what went wrong with the server to generate the crash report is highlighted almost right at the top of the crash report. Below you can see a snippet of a crash report generated by a server. The cause of the error has been highlighted for easier visibility. If you want to figure out how to fix the crash yourself, you will need to use this error description to locate info on how to fix it.
