Server only runs using root user.

[Werner291]

Hello, I'm trying to make the TS3 amd64 server run on my CentOS server.

When launching it as the "root" user, it runs fine (except for the "don't run as root !!!!!!" warning).

However, when launching it using my regular user account, it immediately crashes. The log:

Make a screenshot from the directory you installed the server.
You need probably to chmod some files.

Please read the documentation :

*** ATTENTION ***

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

And please be sure that all file/folder have the same linux user

This thread will be merge after forum clean.
