[Icecast] Icecast start up script for icecast

[Sascha Bieler]

Did you try the default settings first and started after to play around? Why not try to run the server first un-chrooted as root and see if it works?
Do you get a logfile?

Did you install from source, self-build rpm or distro?

And please DO NOT SCREAM!


Best regards

Sascha

Hi,

WE MADE THE CHANGE OF PERMISSION as  chown -R sphynx:sphynx /var/log/icecast THEN ATTEMPTED TO START THE
SERVER BUT HERE IS THE ERROR THAT RESULTED:

[sphynx at sphynxradio ~]$ chown -R sphynx:sphynx /var/log/icecast


[sphynx at sphynxradio ~]$ icecast -c /usr/local/etc/icecast.xml
Server startup failed. Exiting
[sphynx at sphynxradio ~]$

WE ALSO DID IT AS ROOT AND RETURNED THE SAME ERROR AS FOLLOWS:

[root at sphynxradio sphynx]# chown -R sphynx:sphynx /var/log/icecast


[root at sphynxradio sphynx]# icecast -c /usr/local/etc/icecast.xml
Server startup failed. Exiting


IS THERE ANY OTHER REASON FOR WHICH THE SERVER WOULD FAIL TO START? WE HOPE AND PRAY THAT YOU MAY
BE ABLE TO FURTHER ASSIST WITH THIS ISSUE...WE ARE GRACIUS FOR ALL YOUR EFFORTS...
