TeamSpeak 3 Server 3.0.0-rc1 available

[Peter]

Greetings,

we just released a new server version, called 3.0.0-rc1. Since this is no pre-release version, everybody is encouraged to update to it, and those that fail to do so within one week will see "server version is outdated" warnings when connecting to the server via TS3 Client. Since the last release that we recommended for a production environment was back in November, there are quite a few changes. Especially noteworthy are:
- TSDNS is now added to to the package. We recommend hosters to take a look at this, as addresses like "myclan.hoster.com" are much easier to remember than "hoster.com:46233"
- The server now uses multiple database connections to decrease waiting times and increase speed
- A bug fix for a bug that would cause a CRITICAL log message and the server to terminate...it could be triggered remotely

Nice to see finally a new server update.
One question:

+ added new parameter "disable_db_logging" which turns off logging
to database (logview commands wont work anymore)

If set, will TS still write to the log files (logs-folder)?

Thanks.

[R. Ludwig]

ts writes always to the log folder.

Nice to see things are progressing well. Working great on CentOS 64bit dedicated server, noticed a decrease in memory and CPU usage with this version. Also fixed the DB problems I was having on other windows dedicated server.

[gevatter]

ubuntu 64bit und linux 32bit server works both fine...

[neo300]

I can not connect to this server version.

Maybe you changet the default port ? I tested 9987 and i cant connect.

every time i got connection to the server failt. Its the rc1 server and a fresh install no update from the old version clint is the rc1 too.

The older beta version runs without probs after reinstall.


EDIT:

I found the problem i can not use my old npo lizenz i get every time "too much slots hostet" with that npo how i can fix that problem ? no other server running with that npo and with a downgrade to the beta version works fine .

I updated my TS3 server to rc1 20 minutes ago and everything is working without problems (Debian 5 / 64 bit).

Sounds very much like your "old server version" is still running when you updated. We did not change anything (that I know of) in the licensing code...

[neo300]

No i have stop the server than i deleting the old server folder. Install the new one past the old lizens on the new folder and starting the server. I can not login with the lizenz so than i del the lizenz restart the server and its work. maybe i must wait a time for using the lizenz again ?

[poisonpanik]

Wait about 2-3 hours and then place your license back in the TS3 server folder.

[Trouco]

Runs perfectly on Debian Squeeze 64bit, thanks!

Today i updated towards the new version only did get a problem with it, the server won't start anymore (running on debian lenny)

So i manually try to start it

debian:/opt/ts3# /etc/init.d/teamspeak start dbconnections=1

The output i get is:

Starting the TeamSpeak 3 server
TeamSpeak 3 server started, for details please view the log file
debian:/opt/ts3# 2011-05-23 15:15:45.692210|CRITICAL|DatabaseQuery |   | getDBCo
nnection failed getting db connection

If i check the logfiles i see the following

2011-05-23 15:15:45.652494|INFO    |ServerLibPriv |   | Server Version: 3.0.0-be

etting db connection

The reason for trying the dbconnections=1 was worth a try, since default is 10 and also gives the same error. (release notes reading ftw).

This morning on the beta release it worked perfectly, only i deleted the file already so can't downgrade for the time being.

EDIT: Google is your friend, found an link towards the older release. Just downloaded them and overwrite the old version.
server is now rebooting

EDIT2: Downgrading ain't working either, (beta 3.0), errors stay the same

EDIT3: Fixed the problem, the new files from the rc1 where not overwriting the old server files for some reason. After manual deleting the files and then copying the new files fixed it.
