[Icecast] Icecast URL authentication problem

[infoweb1 at crobiz.com]

Hi,

this is part of the icecast.xml:
<security>
       <chroot>0</chroot>
       <changeowner>
           <user>icecast</user>
           <group>icecast</group>
       </changeowner>
</security>

I tried to create place following symlinks
/usr/share/icecast/etc/hosts
/usr/share/icecast/etc/localtime
/usr/share/icecast/etc/resolv.conf
/usr/share/icecast/etc/ld.so.cache
/usr/share/icecast/lib/libnss_dns.so.2

but everything is the same.
I still get the following line:

[2015-07-16  09:45:38] INFO auth_url/url_add_listener client auth 
(http://some.server.org/stream_control.php) failed with ""


Failed with "" (nothing)???
some.server.org is on DNS and reacheable from this machine!

What am I missing?

Hi,

If you're running icecast in a jail root (chroot enabled), then you may not 
have a properly setup DNS resolver.

Maybe this post will point you in the right direction:

Kind regards,

System: Icecast 2.4.1 and 2.4.2, OS: CentOS 6.6 x64

Tried to install icecast using following two different methods described in 
these links:
(1) http://www.ukhost4u.co.uk/blog/538/install-icecast-2-centos-6-server/
(2) 
https://www.servint.net/university/article/taking-the-chill-out-of-installing-icecast/


Both of these resulted in working and stable icecast, but without the 
possibility of url authentication.


Mountpoint authentication is configured as shown here:
<authentication type="url">
<option name="mount_add" 
value="http://some.server.org/stream_control.php"/>
<option name="mount_remove" 
value="http://some.server.org/stream_control.php"/>
<option name="listener_add" 
value="http://some.server.org/stream_control.php"/>
<option name="listener_remove" 
value="http://some.server.org/stream_control.php"/>
<option name="stream_auth" 
value="http://some.server.org/stream_control.php"/>
<option name="user" value='source'/>
<option name="pass" value='pass'/>
<option name="auth_header" value="icecast-auth-user: 1"/>
</authentication>

Script named stream_control.php just writes POST data received from calling 
site (to some file) and returns icecast-auth-user: 1.


This script is never called by any of these methods by the icecast server, 
also in the error.log I am able to find following lines (every time I try to 
connect to icecast as a listener - or a stream client):

INFO auth/auth_add_listener adding client for authentication
INFO auth/queue_auth_client auth on /mountpoint has 1 pending
INFO auth_url/url_add_listener client auth 
(http://some.server.org/stream_control.php) failed with ""



Please advise further actions. Thanks!


PS: yum update was done, without any change.
