[Icecast] icecast2 will not start from the /etc/init.d

[Nick D'Angelo]

Where do I set the <errorlog>-</errorlog>?

In the /etc/init.d/icecast file?

Does it report any problems when you try this?

Maybe it can not write to the error log (e.g. because of a permission
problem).

Please check the permissions of the log files.

You can also try to set:
<errorlog>-</errorlog>

This should let Icecast log to stderr.
