Hello all,
I've got the icecast server running okay. I wanted to try to get an authentication set up going. I'd like to use url, but I can't even get htpasswd to work.
I understand I have to define a mount section in the XML config file. I only want to serve up static, webroot based files.
The documentation says I have to define a <mount> section and it must have <mount-point> and <authentication>. It says the mount-name is the mountpoint that you use to connect your source client with. I don't have a source client. If I'm understanding the terminology correctly, a source client is something that feeds the audio data to icecast so it can stream it to the listener - something like ices or Darkice would be the source client. Is that correct? I don't want to run anything like that - just want to serve up the mp3 files that are in the <webroot> path. I've got the <fileserve> set to 1.
Here is the <mount> section I added:
| Code: |
<mount>
<mount-name>/mp3</mount-name>
<authentication type="htpasswd">
<option name="filename" value="authedusers"/>
<option name="allow_duplicate_users" value="0"/>
</authentication>
</mount>
|
I understand from the documentation that the file "authedusers" doesn't have to exist when I set everything up and that there is built in support from the admin page to handle adding users if everything is set up correctly. I guess I don't have everything set up correctly because I don't see the page the documentation describes. I go to the stats.xsl page but I see the "red key" that the docs describe. I don't see "Icecast Status Page" at the top, the links above it either. All I see is the Global Server Stats". The docs say go to http://server:port/admin/stats.xsl. Should it be "stats.xsl" or "status.xsl"? The status.xsl isn't in the admin path and navigating to it yields a link to icecast.org and nothing else. Anyway...
Any help on this please? What exactly can I provide to get the answer? Do you want/need to see the entire XML config file? I was browsing through the forum posts and so I'm using the KH release ver 32. Maybe even a donation would be possible for help? 
Thanks! |

with 2.3.1 onwards, the mount settings will apply to webroot files as well as sources, in this case a file named /mp3. If you intend to refer to a directory then you'll need the -kh release and the mount-name would be /mp3/*.mp3 I guess. The usual cause of mount settings not applying is either commenting out or the wrong name to match against.

OMG! How idiotic I feel! It applies to files, not folders. Geez! I've been pulling my hair out for a month on that. Dang.
I tried the /mp3/*.mp3 path and it works!
Thanks Karl! You saved my life!
