    Odd, this works OK for me. Does it happen if you re-try the download?

      This is in the webmin error log

      Error: Failed to get server download URL

    Yes, I just tried it on a host that didn't have it. Centos 6.5 64bit After installing the minecraft module & java I pressed the download and install button which gave me this:

    Creating base directory /usr/local/minecraft ..

    Failed to get server download URL

    If I try it again it just tells me:

    Failed to get server download URL

    Is this when you are doing a new install of Minecraft (as prompted by Webmin), or an upgrade?

      New install. But it still does it even if there is a server jar in the directory.

      New install

    What output do you get if you run the following command on your Webmin system :

    wget -O - -q http://minecraft.net/download | grep minecraft_server

    I just did a fresh install of Webmin and the minecraft module, performed the initial download of the .jar from within Webmin, and it worked fine.

      Maybe it's something in my distribution. What did you use?

    Ubuntu, but that shouldn't matter.

    Try clearing Webmin's download cache at Webmin -> Webmin Configuration -> Proxy Servers and Downloads.

      It reported no urls in the download cache. I rebooted both servers and
      tried it it again. Both failed. I upgraded one to Webmin 1.68 and it tried
      it with no luck. If I look in the webmin log file, I see this: Error:
      Failed to get server download URL

    I just noticed this when ran this under the root user.

    wget -O - -q https://minecraft.net/download/ | grep 'minecraft_server'

    It makes this file name '-' in the directory and no I don't know how to
    delete it.

    You can delete it with :

    rm ./-

    This error has appeared on both an Ubuntu (16.04beta) and a Debian 9.0 server, with Webmin 1.791 and the released Minecraft module as well as latest Git.

    Clearing cache makes no difference.

    Miniserv log shows (this is with latest Git minecraft module):

    Use of uninitialized value $out in pattern match (m//) at ./minecraft-lib.pl line 757.
    Error: Failed to get server download URL

    wget -O - -q http://minecraft.net/download | grep minecraft_server
    If you're running on Windows and just want to set up a server easily, download minecraft_server.1.9.exe and run it.
    If you want to run the server it's a bit more involved (see this wiki article for a tutorial). First make sure you can use java from the command line. On Linux and Mac OS X this should already be set up but on Windows you might have to tinker with the PATH environment variable. Download and run minecraft_server.1.9.jar with java -Xmx1024M -Xms1024M -jar minecraft_server.jar nogui.

    Are you running that wget command on the same host as Webmin and your Minecraft server? Because I've seen cases in which the CDN (cloudflare) in front of minecraft.net can block access to the website from some IPs.

    ALso, the latest release of the module in github allows you to specify a version to download on the Module Config page.

    Yes, it is one and the same host and wget downloaded the desired minecraft.jar.

    ALso, the latest release of the module in github allows you to specify a version to download on the Module Config page.

    Aha, that helped. Entering 1.9 it downloads it fine. Using "latest" fails as described above so I guess a regex issue.

    seems that the URL that gives the latest version now is:

    https://minecraft.net/en/download/server
