[icecast] Socket error: No such file or directory

[Lucas Smith]

mmm... ok. well i got ices2 installed properly now (i hope) after some 
effort and help (cheers Michael for the prompt response!).

the goal is to get ices2 to stream to a peercast client on port 2768. but 
somehow things are still not going quite as planned. here is the log

-----------------------------------------------------
idoru:/var/log# ices /usr/local/etc/ices.conf

---------------------------------------------------------------

at first i thought this might have something to do with iptables but thats 
not the case either. i doubt permisions are the problem since i get the same 
problem running both peercast and ices2 as root. peercast does work with 
other channels. so i am pretty sure the problem lies with my ices2.... hmph!

heres some of the relevant lines from the ices2.conf file

--------------------------------------------
                        <hostname>localhost</hostname>
                        <port>2768</port>
                        <password>******</password>
                        <mount>/idoru.ogg</mount>
--------------------------------------------

the pasword is corect for sure as is the port.

any sugestions? the combination peercast ices2 is just so cool i HAVE to get 
it to work. :-)

tchau
