[Icecast] understanding error.log

Thu Jul 28 19:42:12 UTC 2005

Hello.  A couple questions.

When I execute curl
http://myserver.xxx.xxx:8000/test.mp3 , I get "<b>The
source you requested could not be found.</b>"

I've placed my error.log and icecast.xml files below. 

Could someone help me understand my error.log a little
better - to maybe see why I'm not getting a stream
when I make the above curl call.

Also, you'll see in icecast.xml I'm relaying an
arbitrary MP3 streaming station.  Is this possible?
I've seen mention of only needing an MP3 stream as
source to relay and others saying that you need a
Shoutcast or Icecast server source stream?  If it has
to be one of these two, why?

Thanks for any help.  First file below is error.log
and the second is icecast.xml.

Thanks.
