Can't start the server, chmod: changing permissions of...

[Sydael]

When i try to start the teamspeak server on my linux server, i get this:

Starting the TeamSpeak 3 server
ts3server_linux_amd64 is not executable, trying to set it
chmod: changing permissions of `ts3server_linux_amd64': Operation not permitted
 is not exectuable, cannot start TeamSpeak 3 server

i did chmod +x ts3server_startscript.sh before trying.

I guess you use the "ts3" linux user to start your server.
But as you can this user is not the owner of the other files. This is root (so it's normal)

Change the owner - as root :

chown -R ts3 *

Now, as "ts3" start your server

That did the trick. Thanks


Can be closed. Solved.
