Teamspeak Server on VPS

[codyhawkinz]

My question is, why can I run the teamspeak server through 'root' but not with my other user? I'm running a San Andreas Multiplayer server on my other user and it's working fine.
I type in;"./ts3server_startscript.sh start"
Then this comes up:
"Do you have the right TS3 Server package for your system? You have: Linux x86_64, not Linux i386.
Starting the TeamSpeak 3 server
TeamSpeak 3 server started, for details please view the log file"

and it's exactly the same message I receive when running it from root and it works just fine through root. But I've heard it's better to run it through another user for safety reasons.
When I connect to the teamspeak server when running it through another user, it says;
<23:42:24> Trying to connect to server on xx.xxx.xx.xxx
<23:42:24> Failed to connect to server
Anyone who knows the reason behind this? Why it isn't working to run it through other users? Why it only works through root? How do I fix this?

Does it crash after saying that or does it seem to continue running?

[codyhawkinz]

It continue running. I made sure of that by writing 'top' where I could see the ts3server running.

What does the teamspeak log say? Teamspeak has pretty good logging that will tell you if anything went wrong.

When looking through the logs, look for the one with _0.log, that is the log for the virtual TS server.

No logs appear when I run it through another user, only when running it through root.
So I doubt there's any useful information as it doesn't show any logs when I do it through another user.

Did you install the server as root? If the files are owned by root it would restrict your other user from being able to write files, or even read them.

try doing this on the teamspeak folder:

sudo chown -R user:user teamspeakfolder

I get this message "sudo: unable to resolve host (nameofhostthingy)"

[Edge100x]

Do it without "sudo" -- you don't need that when running as root.

[soja]

I get this message "sudo: unable to resolve host (nameofhostthingy)"

That is unrelated to teamspeak and should only be a warning. You can log into root and remove sudo from the command if you want.

It's working now, thank you for the support, both soja and Edge100x, really appreciated.
