Lost passwords file

[TheClone]

Hi,

I googled this extensively and couldn't find a suable answer. I have Ubuntu 11.10 installed and installed the teampseak-server package via apt-get. Should be version 2.0.24 (at least there is a file with this version number in /var/cache/apt/archives). Then the guide I read said, I should change the passwords in the "/etc/teamspeak/passwords" to what I'd like them to be and then restart the server. Now I know this was a really bad idea. But I edited with vim, so no backup file. The passwords are lost. I tried reinstalling, which didn't bring the file back, I tried uninstalling removing all traces of the TS server and then reinstalling, which didn't do it either. I tried to find out whether I could locate the sqlite database and maybe overwrite it with a db from a totally fresh installation use the passwords from that installation, but I was unable to locate it so far.

Can anybody on these forums help me? If you need me information, I'll gladly provide it, but currently I'm totally lost. I just want to have a working teamspeak server. Via apt would be nice because of auto updates, but I'm willing to try other ways.

not sure how ubuntu installs ts2 with apt-get. BTW you will never need an update of TS2 because it will no longer developed

go to folder etc/init.d and look for a ts2 startup script. read startup script and possible you find in the config section the installation directory.

stop server and go to installation folder and delete server.dbs and server.ini

start server again and normally you will get now a ts2 like fresh installed
