Change Voice, Filetransfer or Query port

Your reply does not make sense.
If you are running a server (already), the option is not going to help you in any way.
It only exists for a very first start ever.

When I start the server it uses 9987. So I stop the server and try again, still 9987. I stop the server and write a post on this forum.

From the docs...default_voice_port (9987) UDP port open for clients to connect to. This port is used by the first virtual server, subsequently started virtual servers will open on increasing port numbers. Default: The default voice port is 9987.

I have default_voice_port=9999 in the ini. When I run the startup script passing ini file as argument the default port 9987 is used.

I'd like the option to use a higher port.

Thanks.

OK, to repeat it once again with other words.

You have to set this option before the first start of the teamspeak3-server. If it has startet before, the voice-port is already set, saved within the database, and has to be changed via serverquery.
An other way is to delete the server-database, then there will be a created a new database with the voice-port, you have set in your ini-file.

If it has startet before, the voice-port is already set, saved within the database, and has to be changed via serverquery.

To do this you'll have to use the serveredit command with the virtualserver_port parameter. Like serveredit virtualserver_port=22222

An other way is to delete the server-database, then there will be a created a new database with the voice-port, you have set in your ini-file.

Doing so will obviously delete everything in regards to your server setup. This includes any channels, permissions etc. pp.

That was specific enough for me to fix! Thank you.

I didn't realize the default port was saved in the SQLite database. I didn't find that in the docs. Since this is a friend/family TS server and new I simply deleted the ts3serversqlitedb file and launched the ts3 script to start server passing in the inifile parameter. All the optional parameter values are now active.

Thanks again! I can now cancel my Mumble subscription and use TeamSpeak3 with 1 Gbps synchronous connection on very fast hardware for friends / family!

Hello together,

I've recently rented a VPS, which provides me a limited portrange. It's running on ubuntu-15.10-x86_64 and I've managed to install teamspeak. The server is running, but it just wont let me change the default 9987 port, so I'm not able to get a connection.

Let's say the Portrange is 27212 to 27231, the external IP is 121.34.255.30 and the internal IP is 192.168.2.1

My ts3server.ini:

machine_id=
default_voice_port=27212
voice_ip=192.168.2.1
licensepath=
filetransfer_port=27213
filetransfer_ip=192.168.2.1
query_port=27214
query_ip=192.168.2.1
query_ip_whitelist=query_ip_whitelist.txt
query_ip_blacklist=query_ip_blacklist.txt
dbplugin=ts3db_sqlite3
dbpluginparameter=
dbsqlpath=sql/
dbsqlcreatepath=create_sqlite/
dbconnections=10
logpath=logs
logquerycommands=0
dbclientkeepdays=30
logappend=0
query_skipbruteforcecheck=0

This part works fine (from _0.log, ports and ip changed)

I've created the ts3server.ini File using

./ts3server_minimal_runscript.sh createinifile=1

before starting the server itself. Now I'm afraid that I've created the virtual server which is using the default port 9987. My attemp to change the port viaserver query/telnet on localhost failed on both ports, 10011 and 9987:

[email protected]:~/teamspeak3-server_linux_amd64$ telnet 127.0.0.1 10011
Trying 127.0.0.1...

Even following modification to the iptables had no effect on the Connection refused Part

Can somebody please point out, what I am donig wrong? I've read a lot of tutorials, but would't mind reading more that fit my problem. Also a complete reset would't be an issue, since it would't be the first attempt.

Thanks in advance!

[Danjaman500ROBLOX]

Im having a BIG problem, my modem says that is must be way bigger than 9987!
Any alternatives?

[dante696]

Your Modem or your router?

Just change your port as explained in post #2 of this thread.

[Laiteux]

Hi, to start, sorry for my English, I'm French.

So, I would like to change the port of a teamspeak server because I want to host like 3/4 on the same VPS but I don't find how, I searched like 1h/1h30 on Google and this forum but don't find, I fond only for windows with the server query, or maybe I don't know how to search

So please, help me, I'm tired to search without results, thank you in advance, cordially.

[dante696]

Please read post 2 of this thread for a detailed step by step answer.

You could have found it on your own by using the word change in our forum search.

Hi already find this post, thank you, but I'm on a virtual private server (VPS) so it don't work

[Randomguy9987]

Hi all,

To calibrate my level of aptitude, I'm not completely tech non-savvy (I know how to forward ports, and I know what a command line parameter is, for instance) but I don't know what "SQL" means.

We used to run our home server just fine, but our new router (or ISP--their tech support was basically useless) won't let us open the Teamspeak 3 default voice port 9987.

It seems like the easiest solution is just to change the port we are using, and have our friends add ".newportnumber" to the end of our IP for connection. Correct?

The problem is, I have searched this forum and the internet, and I can't find any simple instructions for how to do this that don't involve downloading some third party software (Putty is the one I keep seeing).

Do we *really* need to download extra software just to change our port? If not, would anyone be able to give me simple step-by-step instructions that work for my level of tech aptitude?

Thanks for your time.

[Chris]

Well to change the port you need to use the server query interface, which is telnet based. As such you will need a telnet client.
Putty is (one of, if not the) the most used one for Windows, which is why you keep seeing it. You can also enable/install the one that comes with Windows if you prefer.

In any case to change the port of your existing virtual server:

Connect putty to your server on the query port (default 10011) and then run these commands:

login serveradmin PASSWORD
use port=9987
serveredit virtualserver_port=9999
serverprocessstop

After that, just start your server again.
You will have to replace PASSWORD with the actual password that you received when you first created your TeamSpeak Instance. If you do not remember the password anymore, please see this knowledgebase article.

Hello,

I'm hosting an VPS with a portrange of 13002-13099
So I can not use the default teamspeak server ports.

How do I change them on Linux?


Thanks for helping me out

Thanks, that makes sense. We'll just activate the Windows Telnet client since it is simple to do. However, I'm not sure how to connect to our server through it. Is there a guide for that somewhere?
