[Icecast] Need help with config file

[Luis Barrett]

Thank you for your time...we made some changes to our config file and the
server doesn't want to start with the command icecast -c
/path/to/icecast.xml giving the error:


'Could not create listener socket on port 8000 Server startup failed.
Exiting'

can you look at the config file bellow and let us know of any changes that
might help.  we need to be able to have 10,000 clients listening to the
server at once. 1,000 to start and we want our mount point to be
/stream1.mp3
Thank you in advance

Luis

or

for url auth, the add url needs to return a "icecast-auth-user: 1" http
header for a user to authenicate. Both urls are sent params via POST,
add is sent id, mount, user, pass, ip, useragent
remove is passed id, mount, user, pass, duration

<authentication type="url">

state username/password if url requires it
