jshon is not found. Please install this package

[franchino87]

Hi there, yesterday i started trying to use this awesome script, sadly i had a Centos6 and i read in this other post of Issue #66 https://github.com/TS3Tools/TS3UpdateScript/issues/66. So i updated to Centos7 as told in the post above but i'm still unable to find a package for jshon. #################################### [root@server TS3UpdateScript]# lsb_release -a LSB Version: :core-4.1-amd64:core-4.1-noarch:cxx-4.1-amd64:cxx-4.1-noarch:desktop-4.1-amd64:desktop-4.1-noarch:languages-4.1-amd64:languages-4.1-noarch:printing-4.1-amd64:printing-4.1-noarch Distributor ID: CentOS Description: CentOS Linux release 7.4.1708 (Core) Release: 7.4.1708 Codename: Core ####################################

I also tried following this link in order to install it manually: http://kmkeen.com/jshon/ Sadly i don't know what to do with the downloaded Package, i end up with 3 files: jshon-20120914/Makefile jshon-20120914/jshon.1 jshon-20120914/jshon.c After a "make" command i end up with this output and this files: #################################### [root@server jshon-20120914]# make cc -std=c99 -Wall -pedantic -Wextra -Werror -c -o jshon.o jshon.c cc jshon.o -ljansson -o jshon [root@server jshon-20120914]# ls Makefile jshon jshon.1 jshon.c jshon.o #################################### From now on, i really don't know what to do with those files, can someone help me?

Thanks for the detailed error description.

Due of that, that the jshon package results in more problems, than it helps, I'll try to remove it from the code in order to improve this.

Thanks for your reply, i'll be waiting for the new version so! Anyway is there some way i can make it work in the meanwhile?

Thanks

Yes, you can use the parameter --set-release and set the release in the configs/config.all file: LATEST_STABLE_RELEASE=3.1.1

You also need to remove the software check here: https://github.com/TS3Tools/TS3UpdateScript/blob/master/TS3UpdateScript#L2242

Simply removing jshon should already work. If not, let me know it, then I'll improve this this evening quickly.

Thanks for your indication, i did the following:

• Changed the string in configs/config.all
• Removed jshon from the check command as you told me to

I then issued the --check --set-release command but sadly i got this error: ################### -bash: ./ts3server_startscript.sh: Permission denied 1 TeamSpeak 3 server instance found...mission denied -bash: ./ts3server_startscript.sh: Permission denied Collecting as much as possible information for following TeamSpeak 3 server instance: /home/teamspeak-server 1 instance for update process... -bash: ./ts3server_startscript.sh: Permission denied ###################

i guess i got some permission problem (even though looking at your code, you are already doing that check), so i did an ls -l and the permission were: -rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 2685 Mar 1 00:21 ts3server_startscript.sh

But from now on i guess it is my problem :) Thanks a lot for your help

Yeah, the TS3 server files should be owned by a dedicated user and not root.

Just add an extra user like "teamspeak" to your Linux... useradd teamspeak ...and change the ownership of the files to this user... chown teamspeak:teamspeak -R /home/teamspeak-server/ ...and restart the server with the correct permissions:

# Stop as root user
./ts3server_startscript.sh stop
# Switch to teamspeak user
su - teamspeak
# Start as teamspeak user
./ts3server_startscript.sh start

After that, the script should be able to get the status of your server and so on. :)

Hey I found this to be helpful, it did allow me to install jshon on ubuntu 16

[Sebbo94BY]

The package jshon is now optional and not required anymore in version 5.6.6 and newer.
