Settings not being Saved

[Aquillar]

When I try to change the server settings (Title, welcome message, max players...etc) form the web admin, nothing gets saved. It says sucessful, I click continue and the settings are gone.

I've reset the NTFS permissions in the TS folder to see if that would do anything, but it didn't.

I love TS, but I'm getting the idea that RC2 was very rushed to reach a deadline

Hmm... you're not hte only one. I had / have this problem too. Once I was able to change the settings, but I can't now figure out how I did it ??? weired....

EDITED: Hmmm... Opera 7.02 seems to have problems.
Just do a refresh after you entered and saved the settings and it should work (this way it works as well wit opera). IE seems to have not this problem...

[Aquillar]

it's working now too...first only the welcome message worked...then the rest started to work...weird...

I have the same prob in Internet Explorer 6. I've set the security settings to the lowest setting and disabled my firewall (Norton 2003), but nothing. I jus can't change a thing...
Who can help me out here? Thx a lot!

EDIT:

When I checked my server.log I saw a few lines saying something about a SQL error. Here's my log from install till 1st shutdown where you can see I tried to edit the server's title etc.:

Hope this will help.

what helps would be to check the forum caterogy: developer releases

[moneyshot]

I found an answer to this in my situation. I had an apostrophe in the name of the server --> so and so's server. Well dealing with sql long enough I know that an ' can signify a data value or delimiter. I dropped the ' and it worked fine. Sounds like the code of ts2 needs to be able to put a comment in so this will work with the new sql setup. Below you will see that there is an apostrophe in the server welcome message. Since it is not commented out it gets passed to sql and the sql server complains.

s_server_welcomemessage = 'Welkom op Havoc's TS2 Server!',

[Havoc (104DRS)]

Trying that right now. And... It works! Thx m8!
The developer category doen't make any sense to me.

[Zero-Point]

I don't mean to be rude or anything--I like being friendly.

Within I would say one-half hour of RC2 being released I was having same problem--settings not being saved. I messed around a bit and found out that it was indeed the apostrophe and I posted the solution.

Since then I have pointed at least a half-dozen having this problem to that thread.

Well, hrmm, I was going to suggest people to use the search feature, but I can't even find that post when i search for "settings not saved"--maybe people have been trying to use the search with no luck?

I think I'll edit the reply I made to include keywords and see how it goes.

this also happens for me, but i noticed something else.

if you use a desc or title with an apostrophe in it, it doesn't show that the setting has been changed, but it actually has.

setting my servers title to "afex's TS server" shows no change in the webadmin, but if you connect to the server, it shows up fine.

Server:
afex's TS server

^ copy-pasted from the info pane after connecting.

Very interesting afex. I thought I tried logging into the server (with client, not webadmin) and still showed the unchanged name, etc. Perhaps I didn't.

When I get home, I'll check it out. Have you tried shutting down the server after the changes and seeing if the settings show up in webadmin? Maybe it will cycle it--I don't know anything about how TS or SQL works like that.

it always shows the wrong setting in the webadmin (if you use apostrophes), but i am connected to my server right now and the correct title and description are correct and use apostrophes

[Zero-Point]

Well, I installed the newest developer release b22 the other day, but forgot to see if the apostrophe bug was fixed, and you reminded me. I just inserted an apostrophe in the server name, and the settings are saved. w00t!!!

also, it is correct when I connect to the server with the client.

well done TS team.

I figured that out also... Now let's wait till they release a fixed version. I don't know what to do with those developer releases, I ain't a developer...

[Zero-Point]

Havoc,

If you want to use the dev releases, you will notice that they are just the binary files, ie *.exe. What I did was rename my server_windows.exe file (in C:\program files\teamspeak_2) to server_windows.exe.bak (for backup purposes).

Then copy the dev release binary (ie b22_server_windows.exe) to your teamspeak_rc2 folder and reaname it to server_windows.exe (or just run it how it is). Voila.

Works for me, that is what I guessed one is to do with them. roflmao.

gl,

Thx for explaning this to me. It's quite simple actually...
I haven't tried it already, but I will. I thought those binary files would be source only.
