Server Crash on Update

[noqlew]

Hi all,

I tried to search around but couldn't find anything simmilar to my question. I'm part of a GSP and we are licensed vendors of TSP2 (we use the linux version). We were hoping to offer an automated teamspeak signup, however we have experienced some problems in remote administration of the server. My problem is that, on occasion, the teamspeak daemon crashes for no apparent reason when doing server deletes or server starts and stops. We are attempting to manage the server using telnet. This happens when using the teamspeak web panel too

I haven't noticed a particular pattern as of yet - it just seems to happen on occasion when executing commands from telnet. This is a pretty big problem, since many servers are being hosted off one daemon so they all crash at the same time.

We implemented a remote administration tool for Ventrilo pretty flawlessly and we were hoping to support TSP too, so we are hopeful someone can give us some pointers as to what might be going wrong.

Also, we used the telnet interface to manage TSP because we figured the schema will change with future releases but the telnet interface is less likely to change - is this a fair assumption?

Thanks much!

Thanks for the input cool - unfortunatelly we get these errors when we have only teamspeak running as the main program.

Hi,

is there anything interesting in the logfile when you make the server instance crash? Also can you give us some step-by-step guide to reproduce this problem? Of course I understand you say there is no pattern, but it would help alot if you told us what commands *can* produce the crash, so that I can write a little script that (for example) starts and stops a virtual server 1000 times per minute, just to reproduce the crash.

pwk.linuxfan,

Hi, I work with noqlew. I have tried to figure out exactly what causes the crash, but I think it's random. The daemon totally dies, with no trace of any debug info in the log. I just reproduced it a few minutes ago with the following commands in a loop:

serveradd ___
sel ___
serverset server_maxusers ___
dbuseradd ___ ___ ___ 1

I ran this n our telnet implementation, and it crashed out after adding about 15 servers. Usually it lasts a bit longer than this, but it will eventually crash on any command. I'm using 2.0.20.1 on Gentoo Linux (with the standard teamspeak server binary.)

If you have any advice, or suggestions on narrowing this down, I'll be glad to run futher tests on my platform or on our Fedora server.

Thanks,

I am also noticing the problem. What do you need to help you see why this is happening?
