Hi, i made i minecraft server following this tutorial, but nobody can connect to it. When i'm not connected to the server through PuTTy i can't connect either. What am i doing wrong?

Im running it on ubuntu 14.04. I tryed turning of the firewall through '$ sudo ufw disable', which did turn the firewall off but i still couldn't connect, neither could my friends. I also tryed opening the specific ports for the server.

I also tryed following this tutorial but that didnt work either. I then reset my system, tryed the first tutorial again, but still nothing.

      UFW isn't blocking. Service is up. It is listening on the default port. Check your config. Some server solutions have a setting to not allow connections if you don't change the config.
