Someone said about restarting vent server and should fix it. But not sure how to restart or shut it down? can anyone give me some help. I know to start its "./ventrilo_srv&" not sure how to restart or shut down service

[chitownjts]

Get yourself into the ventrilo directory and use the following command:

kill `cat ventrilo_srv.pid`

Start it up with:

nohup ./ventrilo_srv&

[j0se]

after i run

kill `cat ventrilo_srv.pid`

i get

-bash: kill: cat ventrilo_srv.pid: arguments must be process or job IDs


Not sure if that killed it. How would you go on rebooting your ssh server?

The free ventrilo server (which only runs 8 users ) can't be bound to an ip address, which is required to get it to run correctly. Use teamspeak.

[chitownjts]

Pay $30 for a static Ip and you will not have any problems with Ventrilo.

Based on the IP number that he posted, he already has a dedicated IP.

Found this statement on the Ventrilo Tech Support

The public version binds to all IP addresses on the default port. You cannot bind it to a single specific address, an or alternate port.

So it sounds like even with a dedicated IP he is not going to be able to do what he wants.

If this is the case then why does bluehost.com maintain a knowledgebase article concerning setting up a Vent server?

To license Vent your expected to need 1000+ slots are greater. Are there actually Vent servers running on Bluehost with that many slots?

I have been using the public version with a dedicated ip for months and never had any problems. I just have to restart it once in a while if my server is rebooted, but that's due to my laziness of not creating a cronjob.

If you are not getting the app to bind to your own dedicated IP address, and the app gets bound to the main IP address of the box, then only one service of it's kind can be run on the box.

Also, if this is the case and we get a complaint that other users cannot use the port due to one user not using ONLY his dedicated IP address, you could end up getting shut off.

Just a warning. You are not supposed to be using the main address on the box for things like this; it doesn't play nice with others.

Okay i understand, Its bounds to my dedicated ip . Im going to use TS instead though.

Besides, the free Vent only allows for 8 slots. TeamSpeak allows 100 Slots.
