I am in the process of moving an icecast2 server from a serve in an R&D lab to a virtual machine in the main server area. The servers are both running Debian sarge and are configured identically for icecast minus the bind address and the hostnames. When I try and start the icecast server, using the same init script and running the same version of icecast (2.3.1), the process simply doesn't start. It prints nothing to stdout and nothing to the logfile. The only real difference in the servers setups are that the new server is behind a firewall. The firewall is open for the machine on ports 22, 80, 8000, and 8001. I am setting up the icecast stream to run at port 8000. Looking at nmap the only difference that seems to possibly being affecting icecast is that I do not have port 111 open for portmapping, because portmapping can not work with our firewall rules, I can however open more ports in advance if I know where they will be getting mapped to. I can't seem to find any possible problems besides the port issues. thanks in advance, Tucker From jaeckelf at refuzed.org Tue Aug 15 08:13:54 2006 From: jaeckelf at refuzed.org (Frederic `jchome` Jaeckel) Date: Tue, 15 Aug 2006 10:13:54 +0200 Subject: [Icecast] SSL encryption with icecast2 Message-ID: <20060815081354.GA20819@zellis.suckz.eu> Hi there, is it possible to use such encryption like SSL/TLS for authenticating users on a mountpoint?

What you didn't mention was the configuration of the firewall. If it is using NAT to redirect specific ports, the problem can be in the fact that the server behind the firewall uses a private-range IP. If that's the case, icecast wouldn't be able to bind() to the public IP of the firewall box. You might want to try running it in a debugger or with strace or ltrace, to see where (and hopefully) why it just stops. And since you mention both boxes run Sarge, try comparing the output of "dpkg --get-selections" of both machines to doublecheck the availability of all dependencies.

I need to know how to do the streaming by using my sound card. My question was... Please note that I am totally a new to audio streaming over the net. Few questions I have to clarify with you. I have downloaded the new version from your web site and installed in my PC (Windows 2000 Professional). I am using a 56k modem to surf the net. After the installation and set up I checked with one of my friend who has a 256 lease line. He got the Title and the number of the track (song CD) on his Winamp player. But he could not get the sound. On the second attempt, I installed the IceCast server in another PC who has Windows XP and the 256 lease line. But I was getting a network could not be found error. I think this could be because of the router my friend is using. PC shows one IP and the router gets another IP from the internet provider. Kindly tell me what could be the accurate, proper procedure to follow. I need to input the audio to the PC sound card from another device for streaming. What is the appropriate line should I go for as my expected hits could be 50 maximum at this stage at once. Appreciate if you could send me a quick reply.

Try the icecast at xiph.org public mailing list or forum.icecast.org. To get the bandwidth you need to serve audio with icecast, multiply the average bitrate of the stream by the number of listeners. Thus for a 96 kbps stream with 50 listeners you need 4.8 Mbps of bandwidth (plus probably 10% for overhead). And of course you need at least 96 kbps upload bandwidth from the source machine that's doing the encoding. Hope that helps, -r -- No virus found in this incoming message.

I got them from eBay for around $120 each. They are 4u rackmount industrial systems that use a backplane. The actual motherboard conforms to a specification called PICMG. If you search eBay for it, you will find CPU cards that contain various processors, and backplanes. The actual backplane contains PCI controllers, because PCI can only have 5 slots per bus. Man are used in telcom setups, industrial automation, and what not. The ones I found had 19 PCI slots, and perhaps 2 ISA. - Ethan
