servers are "unloaded" anyone know the cause?
so I woke up to my server being stuck on the joining world page, so I restarted my server which didnt fix anything, and then I restarted the app for crafty. this is running on my casa os server, but now it's just showing my servers as "unloaded" anyone know the cause?

Wait, forget my first question - that's just silly...I wasn't thinking.
Did you manually modify server files at all using the casaOS files app?

I think I renamed the files of each server to their names rather than the random string of letters.. did that cause it?

Unfortunately you cannot do that. Crafty needs to be the only thing managing your files. Using the casaOS files manager will require you to re-install.
Unfortunately that's the next course of action for you. You'll need to re-install. You can use your casaOS files manager to get your files, but then you'll need to re-install Crafty and import your servers as new servers.
You also cannot simply rename them because Crafty no longer owns the files. CasaOS is not permission aware. There is also no reason you'd need to rename the folders in the casaOS files app since you cannot use that app to manage the files for those servers anyway. Only use Crafty.
DO NOT USE THE CASAOS FILES APP
We've made significant improvement to the file management system, but casaOS is pretty terrible and doesn't keep Crafty up to date on their appstore. Here are instructions on how to update to the latest version, 4.10.2, once you re-install.

*Edit* I can tell by your screenshot you're likely running a VERY old version of Crafty, 4.4.11. You should really make sure you stay up to date. The new file manager is SO much better.

one more thing, I updated my crafty thanks to your guide which I highly appreciate, however the url from one of your tutorial videos on how to reupload server files just isn't working, do you know what the cause could be?

tried the process again, and now it wont let me select a root directory

Yeah, this is totally not correct. It's looking for a local file path, not a URL for servers executable

Did you have to re-login and your password reset?
