READ THIS if you cant log on or get "Page not found" errors

The installer missed one thing, to set the starting directory for the server.

Right click the shortcut on your desktop, find the box that says "Start In:"

Fill in the directory where you installed the Teamspeak server
If any of the directory names has a space in it, you *MUST* put citation marks around the directory name, like this:

"C:\Program Files\Teamspeak2 Server\"

If you dont have a desktop shortcut, make the same modification to the one in your start menu instead.

Once you have done this and restarted the server, use the login information found in your server.log file.

Win2KPro box

- I installed the server app. (rebooted just in case)
- Ran it once (it put the .db, .log, and .ini files on the desktop)
- I then exited the program.
- I entered the (default) path, in quotes, as instructed in the start in dialog.
- Opened the log and got the PW.
-restarted the app, right clicked on the icon in the taskbar and got the login window.

I entered admin as user and the pw exactly as presented, and the browser window sits there and nothing happens. "web site found", gets about 20-25 % progress bar and hangs.

Ive uninstalled, reinstalled, rebooted multiple times and still the same result.

Any ideas?

Hrm, sounds strange

Once i got the real pass from the server.log it worked fine for me

You using any proxy servers or firewalls?

SLI Fallen · #7 26-08-2002, 23:31

Yes on firewall but it's disabled at the moment. But now My whole desktop is corrupted!

When I single click any icon anywhere, it highlights. Single click another icon and it ALSO highlights! If I double click any one icon, it does not open...I GET THAT ITEMS PROPERTIES WINDOW! WTF!?!

I've checked all mouse settings and it's set to normal double click opens item. So someone want to tell me what this thing has done to my computer? All I have done to try to install this thing was exactly what I posted above.

*IX*Doom · #8 26-08-2002, 23:33

Sounds like your alt key is stuck or something

SLI Fallen · #9 26-08-2002, 23:42

Nope, cant be that as if I hold down alt then try to highlight multiple icons (on another computer) It wont work. (double clicking does open up properties however) I cant type in anything into dialog boxes now either. Rebooted twice, no fix.

I uninstalled TS 2.0 server and rebooted (again)... now everything is back to normal.

Think I'll wait till final release.....

*IX*Doom · #10 26-08-2002, 23:47

Try a reboot?

chiefwu · #11 27-08-2002, 00:30

For the admin fix, try starting the server from within the server folder after deleting the old .db, .log, and .ini files

SLI Fallen · #12 27-08-2002, 01:26

I have the fix..AND we have duplicated the bug on another computer.

As far as the desktop thing,somehow ALT *AND* CTL key "functions" seemed hung up. Under that scenario, the effects I described can be repeated. I got that cleared up. (not sure how, but lets move on..

The problem is you cannot access the server *FROM THE MACHINE THAT IS THE SERVER using the :localhost URL. If you change the word localhost, with that machines real IP addy, you can get in. As well as from other computers, (with the PW) We have seen and repeated this bug on two computers (servers) so far... I'm just glad there is a workaround.

Thanks all!!

Gryphon · #13 27-08-2002, 01:44

I cannot reproduce the bug using the same login methods.

SLI Fallen · #14 27-08-2002, 01:54

Ok, Let me clarify what we saw on the two boxes.

You install the program, run it once, fix the "start in" shortcut properties. Then:

You start the app, you get a browser window and the login/pw prompt, you enter the info and the browser just sits about 30% "web site found" forever. If you cancel it, you then get a "authorization failed" message, but the URL http://localhost:14534 is displayed. Change the word localhost to the IP of that box and it works.

THis is not a problem with TS2. I had a similar problem. I'm running w2k with sp2. If you have IIS enabled make sure it is set to localhost in the default website, else you have to enter the IP number.
