Ventrilo Server
Installing and Setting up a Ventrilo Server
What goes well with that game server you just set up? What most teams use to communicate besides in game chat --- Ventrilo.
Here's how to run your own ventrilo server from a shell.
Not a Shellium shell because you will end up banned
First off, we need to download the ventrilo server from [ventrilo.com/Ventrillo]
lynx http://ventrilo.com/dlprod.php?id=102
Hit "I agree" and then hit download and save it to disk and leave lynx. Now we must extract it and go to the directory.
tar xzf ventrilo_srv-3.0.2-Linux-i386.tar.gz cd ventsrv
Now we configure it.
vi ventrilo_srv.ini
The most important things in here are the adminpassword (which anyone with any username can use to get full admin on the server), and the Codec options (which you can get which codec is what by readinv ventrilo_srv.htm) it defaults to a GSM codec. Also add a line like this
Port=<YOURASSIGNEDPORTHERE>
Once done configuring your options how you want them it's time to start the server
./ventrilo_srv -d
the -d puts it in daemon (background) mode so you don't have to see what's on screen. Connect to the server and have fun talking.
