[Icecast] Icecast 2 on ubuntu 14 - service will not start using /etc/init.d

[Nick at 4points.ca]

All, I am hoping someone can help me out.

I am trying to start the icecast service using the /etc/init.d but it 
will  not start.

Nothing appears in the logs and I even tried to direct any errors to 
/std/err

However, the icecast does start from the command line using

icecast -c icecast.xml

any suggestions would be helpfull.

Thanks,

Nick
