What could cause a Minecraft portal to not work?

Question

I have build two portals in Minecraft now, and neither of them seem to work. This is on a multi player server.

They were built correctly, and they both have the purple portal tiles in the center. But, when I stand in the center of the portal, nothing happens.

What am I doing wrong?

Answer

Are you in single player mode? Portals don't yet work on multiplayer servers.

Specifically, there is a multiplayer server command, "hellworld=true" that is applicable for testing, but is buggy and not yet fully implemented.

As of 1.6, Nether Portals do work in SMP. Make sure you're updated to 1.6 or later if you're trying to access the nether in SMP.
