TeamSpeak 3 server won't start after switching VPS config

Post by jakallan3 »

I successfully moved my two-core VPS from Dallas to Chicago and upgraded from Win Server 2008 R2 to Win Server 2012 R2. Everything about the move was fine except my TeamSpeak 3 server I was running. It won't start up at all, here is the error message:

Code: Select all

Back before I did this move, when the server started totally fine, it said this:

Code: Select all

Then I decided to see if a fresh installation of TeamSpeak 3 would even work. I downloaded TeamSpeak 3 64 bit Windows edition to my Windows Server 2012 R2 VPS, fired it up, and got the license screen. I clicked accept on the license, then I got the screen providing my first privilege key and my server query credentials. If I close that screen, the entire TeamSpeak 3 server application closes too. That's not supposed to happen. When I restart the program, it initializes and then immediately crashes again. I can't get the TeamSpeak 3 server to start up and stay up.

Any ideas?

I haven't tried running a TS3 server on Windows before, myself. But, a few of things I would check out first are whether a firewall might be enabled, whether it's being run as Administrator, and whether a needed library might be missing (such as an MSVC redistributable or version of .NET).

I ran into a similar problem with TeamSpeak 3 on a Windows OS. After you installed the TS server and started it once, try to reboot the complete VDS (reboot Windows) and start the TS server again. This should fix it.

There is a forum thread on the TeamSpeak forum discussing this: https://forum.teamspeak.com/threads/124 ... n-Windows)
