[Icecast] listener authentication

[Ron Harmon]

Thomas,

Sorry to be a pain, but I'm still getting errors when I start Icecast.
StartingIcecast 2.4.1
Using config "icecast.xml" from installation directory ...

Please open http://localhost:8000 or http://127.0.0.1:8000 in your web
browser t
o see the web interface.
[2015-02-16  18:49:49] WARN auth_htpasswd/auth_htpasswd.c failed to check
status
 of myauth

I have attached a copy of my xml file.

Thanks!

You could paste it in the default windows config right below this:
    <!-- Mountpoints
         Only define <mount> sections if you want to use advanced options,
         like alternative usernames or passwords
    -->

Just make sure to NOT put it inside a <!-- --> section. Because then it
would get ignored.
A good editor for the Icecast config would be notepad++, as it nicely
highlights what's active (blue/red) and what's commented out (green).

You can then connect (re)start Icecast, then the source client and proceed
to the admin interface to edit authentication settings.
In case of "/example.ogg" this would be:
http://localhost:8000/admin/manageauth.xsl?mount=/example.ogg
(Please note that this is only available while a  source client is running
on that mountpoint!)

On Windows the file "myauth" gets automatically created after adding the
first user, in the Icecast installation directory, right next to the config
file.
On Linux/Unix/OSX it would need a bit more checking. Actually on Windows
too, but only if you'd run Icecast as a service and under a different user



Cheers

Thomas
