How to Restart a Ventrilo Server

Restart your Ventrilo server through the server's web page and options.

Ventrilo is a free to use VoIP, or Voice over Internet Protocol program. Ventrilo connects users through servers and allows them to communicate via headsets or microphones. The Ventrilo servers hold all of the information needed for the VoIP service to function, such as what audio codec to use, what bandwidth to play data at, as well as the maximum amount of users allowed on a server at one time. Changing server settings is done through the server hosts control panel on the website. You must restart a Ventrilo server after changing any of the internal settings of a server.

Instructions

1. Navigate to your Ventrilo server's home website and log in using your user name and password if applicable. Click "Control Panel" or "Administration," depending on your server.

2. Click the "Manage Ventrilo Server" button to locate your server. With your server selected click the "Actions" tab in the control panel.

3. Click "Restart Server" or "Reboot Server" depending on your server provider and click "Apply." The server is unavailable for a few minutes as it restarts.

Tips & Warnings

• Check your Ventrilo server's IP address and port number after a restart. Some server hosts assign new information after a restart.
