Icecast Streaming Media Server

[keyboard112]

Hello

Could someone explain to me what this means and where to look to correct the error?? Also let me know if you need to see any of the config files, any thing that will help you help me....

Mount failed on http://127.0.0.1:8000/ices, error: Login failed

I removed all the 127.0.0.1 ip's from the ice cast config and ices configs that I could find. I have icecast running fine but I am having an issue getting ices started.

Thanks,

Keith

Try the error log of icecast, usually this is down to failed authentication, but could be a firewall block.

Hi Karl,

I looked that the icecast error log and there is nothing current listed in the log, last date was 4-16-08. What would you need to see that could help determine what my issue is... FYI I am trying to use this under darwin on mac os x, also I am fairly new at unix , I thought this would be a good project to get my feet wet in using config files.

Thanks again!!

Keith

If nothing about a connection attempt is reported in the log (failure or otherwise) and you are sure that the icecast serv is running then it's probably down to the port being blocked by a firewall preventing ices making a connection to icecast. Usually firewalls don't block 127.0.0.1 but it is possible, check that icecast is on that port by using netstat -tln | grep 8000 If it's running then you will see port 8000 set to LISTEN, and you should see a web page in your browser if you access it using the same url.
