[icecast] Trying to get Icecast running

[Bill Brunton]

I am trying to install Icecast with liveice on a RedHat 7.0 Linux machine.

I am having nothing but trouble.

Here is what I see:

[root at audio /root]# icecast

 After a while, the connection is dropped due to lack of data.

 
And:

[root at audio liveice]# ./liveice
playlist
0
Initialising Soundcard
16Bit 32000Hz Stereo 
opening connection to localhost 8001
Attempting to Contact Server
connection successful: forking process
 

Liveice does not give the nice screen with the level indicators when I
start it with icecast running.

And:

[root at audio /root]# netstat -t
Active Internet connections (w/o servers)
Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address           Foreign Address         State

ESTABLISHED 
tcp        8      0 audio.intcon.net:1085   audio.intcon.net:8001
ESTABLISHED 
 

I can use lynx, and connect to /admin from the local host, but not from
anywhere else. The access list is set to 1 which should allow any
connections.

Of course, winamp cannot connect to the server.

I am at a loss as to where the problem may be. Is it liveice, or icecast
that is not functioning correctly? I think I have followed the
instructions.

Any suggestions?

Thank you.
