TS2 Server Install Tutorial

[[BBF]Jester]

This is an init script I wrote for my clans server. It is setup to allow running multiple host instances as well. It works on CentOS3.3. Can not claim it will work on any others, but I see no reason it will not. I took bits and peices from a lot of places to get this working. I hope it saves someone a few hours of thier time.

thanks jester! I didn't get a chance to try this yet, but this is exactly what i've been searching for.

[berky2755]

I have edited Jester's script for my own use, and figured someone else might want to use it or modify it to make it even better

First of all, I used the tutorial created here: http://forum.goteamspeak.com/showthread.php?t=15438

I only have 1 user that was created simply to start this server, and that is it. Secondly, the only reason i modified the script in the first place was because Jester's script worked fine, as long as the server never crashed. If the TS server had been killed not using the script, it would not start on bootup. Therefore, the only real editing I did was to hvae it check the output of 'ps aux' (using Fedora Core 4 as my OS; other linux OS's sometimes use ps -ef) to make sure that the process wasn't actually running.

That said, here it is for anyone who wants to use it, modify it, laugh at it, etc.

hello
I have read the tuto and I have a problem with my server.

Error, Server was not started!

I have madriva
What I must do ?
I don't understand because i dont have other ap who are run ....
pls help me

scaraber,

The reason the server isn't starting is that the PID file is still out there.

The script that starts the server tells it write a PID file (tsserver.pid) to indicate that it is running and to help the script stop the server later. Whenever you start the server, the script first checks to be sure that it isn't already running by checking for the PID file. If the script finds the PID file, it asssumes that the server is running and won't start it.

The script deletes the PID file when you stop the server so that you can later re-start it again. This works well most of the time, but sometimes the server stops under irregular circumstances, like power outages. When this happens, the PID file does not get deleted. The resolution to this is the delete the PID (tsserver.pid) file yourself.

To address the power outage scenario, I added a line at the bottom of my rc.sysinit script to check for the PID file and delete it during the boot process.

Now, I just need to figure out how to get SELinux to play nicely with the su command I use to launch the server in my start script...

[scaraber]

thx for your awnser.
but I don't have understand all I have linux for 2 two days only.
I have ann question what server I must be use the binary or the other because I dont have the same file of the tutorial..

[yago_potato]

this was done on ubuntu server edition 7.04 also worked on 7.10 just follow the links directions, and i was all the way updated at the time!

[yago_potato]

i would like to know if this works for other people also!

[kdw´s]

I tried to use berky2755's script on my ubuntu dapper system but it didn't work. There were some minor errors due to the different distribution.

First of all, ubuntu doesn't know the 'Source function library'. Second, the following lines contained unknown commands:

        RETVAL=$?
        [ $RETVAL -eq 0 ] && touch /var/lock/subsys/$tsuser && success || failure
        echo
        return $RETVAL

Both errors could be solved by removing that lines.

I installed tss to /usr/shared/tss2_rc2 and created a user tss for running tss. Feel free change..

Finally here's my version of /etc/init.d/tss

TeamSpeak Linux Server Tutorial v2.0 by PureGrain

Finally I have decided to update this quite old tutorial. I hope this new version will help out even more than the old one did. I have been quite and did not mean to wait so long for this, so now it is here. Thanks to all of those who have given me credit and given my tutorial a look over. There may be an easier way or a fast way or even another way to do what I have listed, but this wayworks for me.

Enjoy!!



*EDIT*
New flash version coming soon.

It's not a good link anymore. Ad site.
