Anyone experienced with debian can help me with sudo?

[Damon]

Okay, so I am a newbie when it comes to linux, however I recently got a vps in order to run my TeamSpeak3 on it. Now I wanted to add a second user besides root with sudo, which will be able to execute my teamspeak server start script. Well i created the new user called "ts3" and then used

• [LIST]
  [*]# adduser ts3 sudo
  --> user was successfully added to group sudo.
  [/LIST]

  (user was added successfully to sudo it said after that. ofc i used it without #)
  
  as described in https://wiki.debian.org/sudo
  however when i want to run the teamspeak start script with ts3 user
  and i do
  

   su ts3

  -->

  cd /home/ts3

  (where teamspeak server is located) and wanna use
  

  ./ts3server_startscript.sh start

  it wont let me while with root it is no problem at all.
  
  Hope someone can help,
  Kind regards,
  Damon

Are you sure your TeamSpeak files aren't still owned by root?

Well I have no idea about that as it is most likely my first linux vps

It looks like you only chown'd one directory and not it's contents.

do this:

$ ls -l

and make sure all the files are owned by your new user. If they aren't, do "exit" to get back to root, cd to /home/ts3 and do "chown -R ts3:ts3 ./"
