So I made a bash script to automatically get ts3 installed and running on my vps, but for some reason it doesn't work.

The error I get is:

> /root/install/ts3install.sh: 4: cd: can't cd to /root/teamspeak3-server_linux-x86/

> /root/install/ts3install.sh: 6: /root/install/ts3install.sh:
> ./ts3server_startscript.sh: not found

This is my script:

 #!/bin/sh
wget http://dl.4players.de/ts/releases/3.0.11.3/teamspeak3-server_linux-x86-3.0.11.3.tar.gz
tar -xzvf teamspeak3-server_linux-x86-3.0.11.3.tar.gz
cd /root/teamspeak3-server_linux-x86/
cd `pwd`
./ts3server_startscript.sh start

Can anybody help?

Are you supposed to execute the installer from /? Do the contents of the tar file have a hardcoded full path? –  glenn jackman Jun 5 at 20:43
    
Uhm I am not familar with linux really I just thaught myself a bit by reading tutorials etc. But when I execute the commands in my bash in Putty everything works fine. Just the bash does not work for some reason :/ Can you maybe tell me in "amateur language" what you were exactly referring to? :P –  Ympker Jun 5 at 20:47
    
type this: tar -tzvf teamspeak3-server_linux-x86-3.0.11.3.tar.gz (using t to "type" or list the contentx, not x to extract) -- what do you see? –  glenn jackman Jun 5 at 21:01
    
Why the cd `pwd` ? –  roaima Jun 5 at 21:23

You should not cd into /root/teamspeak3-server_linux-x86. This is not where the file would have got extracted. It would have been extracted in your current location.

So, the correct script would be: 

 #!/bin/sh
wget http://dl.4players.de/ts/releases/3.0.11.3/teamspeak3-server_linux-x86-3.0.11.3.tar.gz
tar -xzvf teamspeak3-server_linux-x86-3.0.11.3.tar.gz
cd teamspeak3-server_linux-x86/
./ts3server_startscript.sh start

That script doesnt work for me unfortunately :( And the wget is always downloaded to "/" and not "/root/install" where i want it to be downloaded –  Ympker Jun 5 at 20:51
    
Well the script works now if I exec it from WinSCP via SFTP however when I exec it through my control panel (web) it doesn't work :/ –  Ympker Jun 5 at 20:55
    
Can I somehow download the "wget" directly to /root/install ? –  Ympker Jun 5 at 20:55
    
First of all, you are not downloading "wget". You are downloading a "file" using wget. And, yes, you can download it to /root/install. Just use the -P option: wget -P /root/install http://file-link.tar.gz –  shivams Jun 5 at 21:00
    
Awesome! Thanks mate :) –  Ympker Jun 5 at 21:08
