"Server is running" but it's still offline

[MCG]

I'm tryin' to update my Teamspeak Server from 3.0.12 to 3.2.0
and I did follow the instructions, and everything seems to have worked, but after the install/upgrade, I couldn't start the server anymore, after a few restarts still didn't work at all. The server says (ts3server_startscript status) replies: "Server is running" but none can connect to the server.

The teamspeak server is running on a linux machine/server (debian 8).
And yes: I accepted the license.

Did someone had similar experiences or who can help me out?

Read server Log 0 and the one from virtual server.

2018-07-07 19:45:07.200959|INFO |VirtualServerBase|8 |stopped

that's it.

[dante696]

That was log 8.
But what about log 0 I did mention?

Please compare the logs with same time.
The one on next restart is quiet useless. It doesn't show what happened before.

At the moment it looks like the virtual server was stopped manually, when there are no error in log 0.

You may enable more logging on virtual server to make sure no one stops the server via ServerQuery.

I'm not tryin' to get off-topic but listen

Well, I finally upgraded my server from 3.0.12.4 to the new 3.2.0 but there's a new problem...
The server crashes everytime after a few secounds or after a hour, no idea what's wrong here, but I'll send the logs here

check, may be someone using your license or any server running with your license

[MCG]

I'm sure that nobody use my license.

[numma_cway]

Make sure you have stopped all ts3server processes running (confirm with top/htop) and wait at least 3 hours. If that does not work, you have shared your license.

Important info for your next update: After a major server update, the database has to be updated. This is done automatically, but programmed extremely badly by TeamSpeak, as it does not use any CPU most of the time during this process and will therefore take around a minute no matter how fast or big your server is. I do not know if that time stacks depending on the updates you missed. Therefore, here's another hint: Do not wait that long.
