Hello,

Clueless newbie using ices 0.4 and icecast 2.

Situation: a small closed network, no worries about security.

Error I am bumping into:
[devprog1 at localhost ices-0.4]$ ices
Logfile opened
Playing /home/devprog1/mp3/01.mp3
Error during send: Mount failed on http://127.0.0.1:8000/ices, error:
Login failed

Following are my two config files, could anyone help me out?

TIA,
Bert
