Trouble installing

[Skotten]

I've successfully installed the Windowsserver on my home machine and the program is great.

However I'm trying to install it on a webserver to be able to access TeamSpeak from other machines plus make it available for other people. I've attempted to install it here: http://teamspeak.kvisle.no/ts/ however when I run http://teamspeak.kvisle.no/ts/tss.minimal_startscript only some code is shown.

Am I doing anything wrong or is the problem due to some serverconfig?

I'm quite certain the server has RedHat 8x installed.

The first site: http://faq.servetheworld.net/ is running FreeBSD, the other http://www.servetheworld.net/ is running m$.

http://teamspeak.kvisle.no/ is running Apache/1.3.27 (Unix) mod_ssl/2.8.11 OpenSSL/0.9.6g FrontPage/5.0.2.2510 PHP/4.3.0 mod_throttle/3.1.2 on FreeBSD.

*Edit* OK, I see you are trying to run it from a web server. No good, I am afraid. You will need shell access to the server and run it as a process... plus other things like ports being open etc.

I thought I did execute it by going to tss.minimal_startscript but I'm obviously wrong :-)

Shell is an option available from the host I'm using, however I'm not at all familiar with it. Could you please point me to a brief intro which will enable me to do it?

Well, SSH is really like a telnet session, except it is done over an encryption layer.

If you are on Windows, you will need to get a SSH client. I swear by puTTY:

http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/

Install that. Then you will need to enter the details to connect to your user space. Your ISP should be able to supply you that.

Then SSH in. You will be in console mode within you user space (as if on the keyboard of the machine itself).

You will need to navigate to where your TS files are... use:

cd

to change directory (cd .. navigates UP)

Use

ls

to List files etc.

BUT you are on a FreeBSD server. I am not sure about that, as I am Linux man. read the sticky topic above about running TS on FreeBSD.

*EDIT* do NOT put it in your web space. Anybody (if the address in known) will be able to view files and read the passwords etc.!!!!

If you can, take in outside your web space.

I downloaded puTTY, but figured out that the (what seems to be an excellent) host do have a webshell installed and I'm now connected. I've navigated to where I've got my TS files...

You're right, I am on FreeBSD. I went to the 'Sticky' instructions for FreeBSD, but failed at step 4 because the ftp server mentioned requires user and pass which I obviously haven't got. Hence, hopefully someone will provide the required access or the file '22_server_linux' which is the one I apparently need.

If you can, take it outside your web space. I don't think I can, all dirs seems to be public.

Thanks for your help,

You don't need FTP access, they are here (use your browser):

ftp://dbd1.mine.nu/developer/server/

Hmm..., maybe I missed something, but it all sounds like just having WebSpace! You need a root-server to run tss!

I do have access to a non-public directory which I assume is at rootlevel and have uploaded all the files to this directory (the dir I'm referring to in older posts are now deleted).

I've now been able to follow the steps in the freeBSD guide (http://www.teamspeak.org/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=4124) with some exceptions.

5a) I've renamed b22_server_linux to server_linux and the existing server_linux to 'server_linux - old' as can be seen from the screenshot attacted. Have I done the right thing?

6) I'm unable to check this apart from the db bit which I do have access to, but I've done no dbconfig in relation to this installation

7) How do I do sh tss.minimal_startscript start? Is it possible to do that from the webshell (see screenshot)*?

I'm getting closer... ;-) Thanks for great help so far.

As you wish! I rename it to "tss2d" - easier to type ;)

Ask your provider!

Your need to have a telnet/ssh (better ssh!) access!
It is possible (but is it recommended?) to create a CGI-file to start the sever from a website. For security you can password-protect this site.

Good luck!

I think I'll probably resort to paying for my phonecalls ;-) This is getting tricky...

I'm unable to connect with puTTY/Shell and hence can't run sh tss.minimal_startscript start and find this stuff a bit too complicated at the moment.

Thanks for all help!

Yours,

I've actually succeded loading puTTY and establishing contact with the server, however I've tried ftp.kvisle.no, kvisle.no and the IP, but the username and pass I'm using to access the control panel as well as with ftp fails.

I suppose this is an issue I should raise with the provider, but doubt that they will offer support on SSH, despite supporting it.

Bloody annoying...
