1) Requirements
Before you can start running the TSN Ranksystem Bot on your TeamSpeak server, we need to check the requirements of your environment.
For the statistics page and to be able to run the Bot in a PHP process, we need a webspace (webserver).
PHP 5.5.0 or higher
PHP with privileges for the command "exec"
PHP with unlimited script execution time; especially you should check this on a webhosting
required PHP extensions:
- PHP PDO extension
- PHP cURL extension
- PHP Zip extension
- PHP SSH2 extension
- PHP mbstring extension
network connection to the TS3 ServerQuery of your TS3 server on TCP; default port 10011
network connection to ts-ranksystem.com (IP: 164.132.201.2) on TCP port 443
optional: job scheduler (for automatically restart the Bot) like a cronjob
The database will storage all information. This is necessary to get a real time statistic page.
MySQL (or derivative like MariaDB)
requires its own database
required privileges:
- Data:
SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE
- Structure:
CREATE, ALTER, INDEX, DROP
To connect with the TeamSpeak 3 server, we need access to the TS3 ServerQuery interface.
Network connection between the webspace and the TS3 ServerQuery
TS3 ServerQuery User with following permissions:
- b_virtualserver_info_view
- b_virtualserver_client_list
- b_virtualserver_client_dblist
- b_virtualserver_client_dbsearch
- b_virtualserver_client_dbinfo
- b_virtualserver_notify_register
- b_virtualserver_servergroup_list
- b_virtualserver_servergroup_client_list
- i_group_member_add_power
- i_group_member_remove_power
- b_icon_manage
- b_client_remoteaddress_view
- i_client_private_textmessage_power
- i_ft_file_browse_power
- i_ft_file_download_power
2) Download & Unzip
Download and unzip the file ranksystem_latest.zip.
3) Upload to webspace
Upload the whole unzipped folder to a directory on your webspace and grant permissions to the user of your webserver.
4) Run install process
Open the "install.php" on your browser and follow the instructions https://your.url/ranksystem-folder/install.php.
5) Configure webinterface
Configure the TSN Ranksystem about the webinterface https://your.url/ranksystem-folder/webinterface/.
For each parameter you'll find a documentation by mouse click on it.
6) Start Bot
Start the TSN Ranksystem Bot via the webinterface.
7) Add cronjob (optional)
Optional: Create a cronjob to be sure, the Bot is running 24/7. This will restart the Bot automatically, e.g. on a database restart.
Open a SSH session to the host machine of your webserver.
Enter the command crontab -e, go to editing mode (in VIM you need to press i).
Paste the following in a new line:
*/10 * * * * sudo -u www-data php /path_to_your_webspace/path_to_the_ranksystem/worker.php check >/dev/null 2>&1
Configure the path, where your TSN Ranksystem is located and replace www-data with the user of your webserver.
Save and quit the crontab (in VIM :wq).

Open the "install.php" on your browser and follow the instructions https://your.url/ranksystem-folder/install.php.
5) Set PHP Path
Set the path to the php.exe (PHP installation) inside the other\phpcommand.php. Examples you'll find inside this file.
6) Configure webinterface
Configure the TSN Ranksystem about the webinterface https://your.url/ranksystem-folder/webinterface/.
For each parameter you'll find a documentation by mouse click on it.
7) Start Bot
Start the TSN Ranksystem Bot via the webinterface.
8) Add new Task (optional)
Optional: Create a task inside the task scheduler to be sure, the Bot is running 24/7. This will restart the Bot automatically, e.g. on a database restart.
Windows help how to create a new task.
Add the following options:
C:\path\to\php.exe -f C:\path\to\Ranksystem\worker.php check
Configure the path, where you find your PHP installation and also the path where your TSN Ranksystem is located.
When you are not able to host the TSN Ranksystem yourself, you can ask here for a hosting.
The hosting is absolutely free. If you want to support this service, donations are welcome. ;-)
If we accept your request, the hosting will remain as long as the Bot is running and able to connect to your TS3 server. Bots, which are offline for more than one week (=inactive) will be deactivated and after one additional week deleted.
With the hosting we take the part of the requirements of the webspace and the database.
- You still need access to the TS3 server via ServerQuery; ServerQuery credentials (username and password) are required!
- Be sure your TS3 server allows a connection from our IP address 164.132.201.2.
- You should whitelist these IP also inside the query_ip_whitelist.txt, which you'll find inside the TS3 server installation directory.
After submitting your request it could take a few hours to create the hosting, cause we check each one manually! You will definitely get an answer. In case of accepting we will send you all needed information (hosting credentials & guide) via email.
