Centos 6 x86_64 - unable to start - "libts3db_mysql.so"

[herkalurk]

For whatever reason the server won't start. I have attempted manually entering lib paths, copying and renaming 2nd lib file to match with space, I've read a bunch of forums here as well and other places with no success. I'd appreciate any help you have for me.

attempting to run

./ts3server_startscript.sh start inifile=ts3server.ini


db config

[config]
host=localhost
port=3306

UPDATE!!

Read some other posts here about issue. Did strace on process, it doesn't even get to the point of going for mysql. LDD showed that it can't find the libmysqlclient.so.15 at all. I can place a symbolic link in the directory with the TS server files, nothing. Also, there was never a version of libmysqlclient.so.15 for cent 6. Which is frustrating that it won't get past that.

Hello

Please try this commands as root :

wget -O /usr/lib64/libmysqlclient.so.15 http://files.directadmin.com/services/es_5.0_64/libmysqlclient.so.15
chmod 755 /usr/lib64/libmysqlclient.so.15
ldconfig

Hello

Please try this commands as root :

wget -O /usr/lib64/libmysqlclient.so.15 http://files.directadmin.com/services/es_5.0_64/libmysqlclient.so.15
chmod 755 /usr/lib64/libmysqlclient.so.15
ldconfig

Same error, strace still shows it doesn't even attempt to load any mysql parts. On a better note, the ldd of the libts3 file does fine the libmysqlclient.so.15 now....

Please post the result strace result

A symbolic link has never worked in some specific cases. And you are in one of these specific cases
If you already created this kind of link, please remove it.

Also,
Strangely on a new test server I fixed this problem with a mysql update (yum install mysql) in addition with the so.15 lib

[herkalurk]

That's odd, now the tables are populated...

For whatever reason that worked. I've never had an issue that wasn't resolved with a symbolic link before, but whatever works i guess. BTW, my full time job is part linux, part network, part backup administration. I've never had an issue that wasn't fixed with a symbolic link, but you learn something new everyday...

[florian_fr40]

The main one is that it works

but you learn something new everyday...

Nothing is more true

[igorsantos11]

That command (./ts3server_startscript.sh start inifile=ts3server.ini) it's correct?

I believe the correct it's: ./ts3server_minimal_runscript.sh start inifile=ts3server.ini

[florian_fr40]

These 2 commands are corrects

So I lead a rather large gaming community, have been at it for 5 years, and all that time have been using Ventrilo. Team Speak 3 caught my attention recently, and so I leased a server with a few dozen seats and have been toying with it and a few tech heads from my community. Let me preface this up front by saying: my community LOVES Ventrilo and for some reason has a disdain for Team Speak. So I've been out on a fence, so to speak, in risking my interest with TeamSpeak. Over the past two months I've been working with my community and influencing them to embrace and adopt Team Speak 3 as our new standard; with the intent we would host this on our own server and take advantage of the non-profit licensing arrangement. Fast forward from then to just 48 hours ago when I formally announced that we would move to Team Speak 3 to the members of our community. I had a bullet proof vest on, but did so with the knowledge I was making the right decision, and soon others would agree. But wait - what's this? Taking the next steps of downloading the server software and working with my gear heads to deploy TS3 Server on our Centos 6 Linux AMD 64 VPS box, and following all the basic instructions, we find the server wont allow connectivity. We go back, rework everything, still no luck. We begin chasing down potential issues, using your forums and noting NO red flags or warnings or issued statements, we move with certainty the issue is something to do with our server's configuration and/or firewall. To no avail, after 16 hours of effort, still nothing. And then we begin finding postings on forums, in dark and hidden places, of individuals who have been experiencing the exact same issue we have, and to become completely surprised to find out that your server software is based upon a version of MySQL from 2008, and is not compatible with more recent releases of both Centos AND MySQL. So I start scratching my head .... why would CENTOS, a rather popular box/os solution for gamers, be left behind? More so, why is that all the forum information states that anyone who is using any releases of MySQL since 2008, on Centos, cannot run Teamspeak 3 because it's not coded to support any more recent (i.e. 3 years of recent) releases of MySQL to the world. So I double back and reread everything your "official" site provides - and no where, and I mean NO WHERE, is there any statement from your company that it will not work. Nadda. Zippo. Nothing.

I'm not one to give up on a fight - especially when I believe in something. I believe in this product, or so I thought. I understand you have to code for a variety of operating systems, database systems, versioning, releases, etc.. But really? CENTOS?!! 2008 MySQL? I can't even find any MySQL releases anywhere in the world which have the necessary ('bootlegged approach recommended by other gun-slingers out west') files to even configure a box back to that time. And so here I am. And frankly, after realizing that after 16 hours I am now writing this message to you, well, disappointed and embarrassed aren't really good enough words to fit my situation. Thick headed? Stupidity? Perhaps.

So let's do this: 1) you update your website with factual information as to WHAT your Teamspeak 3 Server software will actually run on in a Linux environment, 2) noting specifically you update your "software requirements section", 3) that you specifically state the software will not work with Centos version 6 and this decade's newest releases of MySQL (not from 4 years ago), and 4) when/if you'll have something in the works for Centos 6.

Sure, I can rent a sever and pay for the seats - but that's really not the point here. The point is I want to host this software on my box, to my members, and I want to brag to everyone how kick-ass Teamspeak 3 is compared to Ventrilo. Wait, I've been doing that now for a while - until now. If you detect bitterness (hard to miss it) in my posting, you are darned right. So, let's effectively communicate, shall we? You've seen these forums postings I'm referring to, and you are certainly aware of the issues.

[SilentStorm]

I have TeamSpeak 3 Server running fine on my VPS running CentOS 6. It does need some work and it is rather embarrassing that TeamSpeak specificly requires some way out of date MySQL Libs which is not too easy to get your hands on, but it does work rather well in the end.

I too would very much prefer TS3 to be able to run out of the box with more recent Versions of libmysqlclient but yeah...

To be honest I don't quite remember anymore through what obstacles I went back when I installed TS3 Server on CentOS6 using MySQL Database backend, and also do not quite remember what I ended up doing in the end, but I did get it working.

We are aware of this problem.
We try to add the compability for newer MYSQL versions, but i can not say, when this will be included.

Internal Ticket ID TSSERVER-46

I know that we have more then this thread about the same topic.

Any chance you can share the lib files with me? That's part of the issue - cannot find them anywhere. Noting discussions Centos 5 users, they added the files directly into the install directory of TS3. Not sure that would validly work for Centos 6. I've read at least two posts of other Centos 6 uers who gave up because they could not get it to go.

Funny, you'd think the development team would pounce on you and ask you to help document, and to provide the necessary files, to create the "work-around-solution". But for them to just say "we are aware - not sure when", is crazy.

Thanks for chiming in on this. Perhaps we can get a well-documented solution going that TS3 can pick up and use for other Centos 6 people. Please let me know if you can share the files package. Cheers.

[Tomas]

Well as long as debian goes, you had to enable or add links to repositories for older distribution release, or backports....
I am not sure in centOs atm, but I would go over the /etc/yum.{something....}/*.repo files and enable few. if that doesn't help then you might want to look for old repos, or backported SW repos....(EPEL?) rly shooting in dark, but if you rly want it, I could look there&test it myself.

(Debian has separate package name) libmysqlclient15off

In overall this all shitload is funny. To get server running, you need old SW. To get latest client running you need latest distribution/SW version, because on older OS_vendor supported it will not run.
