ventrilo_srv.ini issue
 

Hello, im running ubuntu 8.10 on an old gateway as a server. I have vent up and running just fine. I went to configure the ventrilo_srv.ini file and now that i have made the changes, i need to restart the server program, which im having problems doing. The following command returns the following:

sudo /home/taylor/ventrilo/ventsrv/ventrilo_srv restart


Ventrilo Server - Public - Version 3.0.3
(c)Copyright 1999-2008 Flagship Industries, Inc.

Unable to open configuration file 'ventrilo_srv.ini'.
ERROR: Unable to read configuration data. Exiting.


what am i doing wrong? did i change something that shouldnt have been changed...i only set the name to something other than default and set the admin password.

Is it possible you might have copied the .ini file into the directory while logged in as root, therefore creating a file owned by root and not able to be read by the ventrilo user that runs the scripts? You need to chown the file to ventrilo:ventrilo if so.

I didn't do this with that file, but when I copied it as 3784.ini I initially forgot to chown it too.
