Can only connect reliably to server.

On entering the multiplayer window, I can see the server as available.

Attempting to connect to the server fails at "Logging in".
Server shows no logs showing the attempt, client reports " Connecting to [server], [port]"
Clicked cancel after 7 minutes.

Clicked refresh and attempted to reconnect, and it logged in, but in less than 60 seconds I get "internal server error" from the client and the server reports:

Attempting to reconnect at this point, the client reports:
