Windows 32 bit - Version 3. However, this will require root access in order to implement. This will start the vi editor program and allow you to edit the INI file which defines how the server should operate. See the log file for any indications of problems. A: The program should give some idea of why it has stopped. If you started it in daemon mode then check the log file for possible indications as to why.
A: If you are trying to run the ventrilo server on a computer that is shared with other users, then it's possible that someone already has a ventrilo server running on the same port that you are trying to use. Edit the INI file and instruct your copy of the server to use a different port number. A: Router's generally do not allow inbound connections from the outside world. However, they can be instructed to do so by a mechanism called "port forwarding", sometimes referred to as "ip forwarding", which allows for incoming connections to a specific port number to be routed to a machine on your internal network and behind the router.
It is beyond the scope of this document to instruct you how to configure your router to do these things. You will need to read the instruction manual for your router or call the manufacturer for help. Q: Clients get an "Unable to authenticate" error message when trying to connect to my server. A: They do not have the correct server password defined. Have them re-enter the password you gave them. Remember that passwords are case sensitive.
So if someone you know likes having the "caps lock" key on make sure they turn it off before entering the password for your server.
When setting up the Operating System you didn't tell it to install everything. You will need to download the library RPM and install it with the following commands. Click here to download the RPM. The server requires more bandwidth then the clients do. The bandwidth that gets used is determined by the codec and sample rate as selected by the server administrator.
The following examples assume that the server is configured to use the default GSM 6. This will use approximately 3K bytes per second of bandwidth for each active voice stream. All 4 are in the same channel. As you can see the mathematics are very simple. The more people in the same channel equates to the more bandwidth consumed, and it gets worse if more then one person is talking.
This also places a greater burden on the clients as well if more then one person in the same channel is talking, which is one of the primary reasons that dial-up users won't care to much for the GSM codec. As mentioned, these numbers are for the GSM codec. Instructing the server to use a different codec which all clients will be forced to use will effect how much bandwidth is consumed.
To see a list of currently supported codec's you can issue the following in a command prompt window and the server will display a list of supported codec's and associated formats. Web links are a mechanism that allows for creating a link similar to a standard web URL, but when someone clicks on it instead of making the browser go to a different web page the browser will start up the Ventrilo client and the link will provide details about the server, port number, server name, server password, channel name and channel password.
This feature can be very handy when you want to make information about your server available on your web page, and is a nice convenience so that people will not need to type all of the information into the Ventrilo client. This link would instruct the browser to start Ventrilo, create a server definition named "MyServer", assign the port number to "" and set the hostname to "www.
There are other options that can be appended to the link. The following is a complete list of the currently supported options.
Here's an example of combining the server name and server password into the same link:. Please note that if you include a server or channel password into the link and then post the link in a public location then the password will be visible to everyone.
These instructions are for version 2. Ventrilo is composed of two different components: The first is the client program. Once you have downloaded the appropriate client you can start the installer. Once the installation program is finished it will have accomplished several things: 1 All files will be installed into the specified location. After the client program has been installed you can use these quick step-by-step instructions for getting the program configured and connected into a server.
Before you begin you need to know several things before you can connect to a server. Now, lets do a quick setup.
