Hello

Please read the documentation :

In some cases, the server process terminates on startup and the error message reads
"Server() error while starting servermanager, error: instance check error".

As long as you don't have a license key embededded we make sure you only run exactly
one instance of the TS3 server free unregistered version. We use shared memory to
facilitate the communication to detect other running instances, which requires tmpfs
to be mounted at /dev/shm. If you (for whatever reason) do not have this mounted, the
above error will occur.

To fix this problem, the following commands or file edits need to be done as root user
(or using something like sudo). This is a temporary fix until your next reboot.

mount -t tmpfs tmpfs /dev/shm

Now, to make sure this mount is done automatically upon reboot edit the file /etc/fstab
and add the line:

tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0

Hello

Please read the documentation :

I had already tried this...

root@vps [~]# mount -t tmpfs tmpfs /dev/shm
mount: mount point /dev/shm does not exist
root@vps [~]#

A workaround is to put the nonprofit licence into folder. I don´t know the solution for that mounting problem.
