<p><br>Server startup failed. Exiting</p>
<div><br>WE SCRUBBED THE ICECAST.XML FILE AND VALIDATED IT AND NO ERROR WERE FOUND...WE THANK YOU FOR TAKING THE TIME TO LOOK OVER THE XML CONFIG FILE INCLUDED IN THE EMAIL AND SEE IF MAYBE OUR ISSUES FOR NOT BEING ABLE TO START THE ICECAST SERVER SUCCESSFULLY ARE HIDDEN TO US WITHIN THE CONFIG FILE...AGAIN THANK YOU FOR YOUR VALUABLE TIME AND KNOWLEDGE.</div>
