Problem Description:
Hi, I was trying to make a script to change my instance port to match my VPN provider’s port. This is how I caught this error. Now, when I manually stop ADS01, I then use the –RebindInstance command. What happens is: My instance gets deactivated every time. I also get the MaxMind.dll Missing error, and another error concerning Bedrock version, which I am not using!
Summary:
Using –RebindInstance MyInstance 0.0.0.0 12345 deactivates that instance.
I see a MaxMind.dll missing.
There is a system warning concerning a Minecraft bedrock that I am not using.
Steps to reproduce:
Step 1
I wanted to make a script to auto-change change port got an issue, so I started manually going through every step, starting with: Stopping ADS01 with: ampinstmgr stop ADS01
Step 2
After stopping the ADS01, I went to change the ports for my instance (manually) by using my case-sensitive instance name with this command: ampinstmgr --RebindInstance MyInstance 0.0.0.0 25565. So far, so good, until step 3.
Step 3
On step 3. First, I checked my new 25565 port by doing: ampinstmgr -l. My instance indeed has its new port in place. Next, I tried launching it, but it kept restarting. After that, I used: ampinstmgr --View MyInstance, and the instance was offline. I used the command: ampinstmgr --LastLog MyInstance to view its logs, and then found out it was deactivated!
Actions taken to resolve so far:
First, I tried reactivating the instance. But it kept deactivating every time I tried doing –RebindInstance. Second, I tried getting the MaxMind.dll file, but couldn’t find it. Third, I tried searching for the file in the system, but it was missing in all instances. I don’t know if it should be in the ADS01 instance only, or other instances as well.
What could be the issue?
There’s only one error I could see in the log, which is MaxMind.dll. I copied the code down there from the line I believe it made the error. I got this log by running: ampinstmgr ----LastLog MyInstance, and I also get this log when reactivating my instance.

The MaxMind error isn’t anything to concern yourself about. It’s just some cleanup we need to do on our side. The Bedrock is also nothing to worry about. We’ve stopped supporting that in the Minecraft instance type since it was moved to its own generic template. The Minecraft module gets update information for all the supported mod loaders and types because it populates the versions drop down list. So whatever you’re using, it still tries to populate it. We can actually disable that fully on our end now since it’s not going to be corrected.
As for why it deactivates whenever you rebind? That’s an odd one. Usually it takes a hardware change to cause that. You mentioned your VPN provider which might be the cause of it. I know Mike put in some checks at one point to filter out looking at virtual adapters like that, but it may be the issue still. Do you notice it happening when you just restart the server or any other times?
Hello @IceOfWraith. Thank you for your reply. And @Mike, sorry for the crumbled text in my first message. I’ll try to make sense this time . As for the issue, when restarting the server, my instance doesn’t deactivate. I noticed it only deactivates when I specifically do – RebindInstance. But, I didn’t try the command without the VPN, I’ll turn it off, retry, and continue writing …
I’m back. I have disabled my VPN. Nothing changed. My instance gets deactivated only when I do the --RebindInstance command.
While I was writing the latter paragraph, I saw my instance running. I double checked, it was running fine even after the rebind issue. But, it seems the rebind didn’t take effect. My instance ports didn’t change.
Well, that’s all I have to write. If anything comes up, I’ll make sure to add it here for any future user facing such an issue. Last but not least, thank you for your time, and have a nice day.
First, I log in as the amp user.
Second, I have to stop ADS01 by using the command ampinstmgr stop ADS01 or else I will get this error:

Of course, when I view my instance ampinstmgr --t, I can see the port has changed. But, the issue happens after I start my ADS01 ampinstmgr start ADS01 I get this normal log:

That’s when my instance gets deactivated! If you were to ask about the amp version mismatch, I recently updated it from 2.6.2.2 to 2.6.2.4, thinking it might fix the issue. Thank you for your time.
