Look under Advanced Options to setup TS as an external database.

Not sure what I'm doing wrong here, but I added this to the bottom of the server.ini file and of course, edited the necessary fields.

[DBEXPRESS]
sqldir=mysql_sql/
Drivername=mysql
Database=database_name
Hostname=localhost
User_name=database_username
Password=database_password
GetDriverFunc=getSQLDriverMYSQL
VendorLib=/usr/lib/libmysqlclient_r.so.10.0.0
LibraryName=./libsqlmy.so
Active=1


Now, I get this:

root@server [/home/teamspeak/public_html/tss2_rc2]# ./teamspeak2-server_startscript start
WARNING ! For security reasons we advise: DO NOT RUN THE SERVER AS ROOT
!!!!!!!!!!!
starting the teamspeak2 server
Error starting daemon. Aborted


Even if I try to run as teamspeak user, I get this:

teamspeak@server [~/public_html/tss2_rc2]# ./teamspeak2-server_startscript start
starting the teamspeak2 server
Error starting daemon. Aborted


My permissions

Chadi check the server.log file. The error is logged there

sorry forgot about that

This is what I have (with orange actual info, which I know is correct)

Your problem has nothing to do with this hack at all.
You simply have problems connecting to the mysql database.
Even without this hack you would have the problem

The library cannot be loaded!

This is what I have
The library you have to load depends on the operating system and the mysql version you're running!

Fix this first before trying to use this hack!

I cannot find any download for libsqlmy.so via Google.

Like I said, this has nothing to do with this hack. Please check out www.goteamspeak.com

Thank you for helping out jluerken, you have answered these questions better than I could have.

I rent a teamspeak from a hosting company. Will this mod work with the remote ts?

Yes you can enter a remote ServerIP but your Teamspeak Host needs two things:

1. TS must be installed in a mysql database. Normally hosters do not do so, they use the standard sqllite.
2. The remote TS must allow TCP Query. This should be working but some TS Hosters disable this with a firewall for whatevery reason.

btw. with vB 3.5 we got the product installation feature so before asking if a product will work for you or not, simply make a db backup, install and and test it. If its not working remove the product with a single click again.
