I have been trying to start up Icecast2 using
http://www.howtoforge.com/linux_webradio_with_icecast2_ices2 as my
docset.
The icecast server comes up; I'm able to go to http://localhost:8000/
and see the pages.
I can't seem to get the ices2 part working. I use the suggested config file:
[...]
<input>
<module>playlist</module>
<param name="type">basic</param>
<param name="file">/etc/ices2/playlist.txt</param>
<!-- random play -->
<param name="random">0</param>
<!-- if the playlist get updated that start at the beginning -->
<param name="restart-after-reread">0</param>
<!-- if set to 1 , plays once through, then exits. -->
<param name="once">0</param>
</input>
[...]
And the files should be right
jacoby at robbie:~$ cat /etc/ices2/playlist.txt
/etc/ices2/music/01-True_Blue.ogg
/etc/ices2/music/02-Hell_at_Home.ogg
jacoby at robbie:~$ ls -l /etc/ices2/music/

But the log file says that the ices server can't find them.

So, as I understand it, I'm doing everything right, yet I'm still not
streaming music. I'm sure it's something stupid like a file permission
thing or something, but I don't know where to poke next. Help?
