HELP! cannot connect to server

[trekko]

I've been trying to set up a server on linux centOS 5 for 2 days now...
created user
created folder
let user own the folder
unpack the software
got an .ini-file with customized ip'S
got a license-key
...
running the serverstartscript gives me this:

[florian_fr40]

Hello

Kill all screen process.
Il your have ts3server.pid in the server folder, delete it.

Now try to start your server simply with (for test) :

./ts3server_minimal_runscript.sh inifile=ts3server.ini

[trekko]

i deleted the complete folder...backed up licensekey and ts3server.ini
unpacked serversoftware again
copied ini and key into that folder
./ts3server_minimal_runscript inifile=ts3server.ini

after this log says:

well it looked fine for me, so i tried to connect to my server----> failed
what is going on here?

[florian_fr40]

Your server is on data center or on your home network ?

[trekko]

its a dedicated server in a data center

[Tomas]

its a dedicated server in a data center

run commands for us: (heh BSD .... hopefully command parameters will not complain)

ps aux | grep ts3
netstat -aonp | grep 9988
netstat -aonp | grep 10011

sample results

server   1478  0.0  3.0  25944  1988 ?        Sl   Dec12   7:40 ./ts3server_linux_x86
root      9777  0.0  1.1   5160   772 pts/0    S+   10:11   0:00 grep ts3

udp        0      0 0.0.0.0:9988            0.0.0.0:*                           1478/ts3server_linu off (0.00/0/0)

tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:10011           0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN      1478/ts3server_linu off (0.00/0/0)

if there any firewall in the way, or on your VPS machine?
Try to use putty/ssh with port forward for test, and connect to localhost using your ts3client. [bevare this is not fix, but a check test] I am lazy to write how.....

[trekko]

it works!
i should have checked the firewall twice >.<
you prevented me to try some voodoo to fix this
many many thx

[Tomas]

...to try some voodoo to fix this

whats that? Ohhhh a different word for "working experience"? I guess you read a lot of theory.....
(In theory everything works. In reality nothing does.)

booo booo boooo ;-]
