Icecast Streaming Media Server

[Anonymous]

Hi,
I installed icecast-2.3.1-4.fc7.i386.rpm.

When I run icecast I receive this output:

[root@localhost /]# /etc/init.d/icecast start
Starting icecast streaming daemon: [ OK ]
[root@localhost /]#

If I check status output is:

[root@localhost /]# /etc/init.d/icecast status
icecast dead but subsys locked
[root@localhost /]#

Can somebody help me about this problem?

The process is probably not running but the lock file is in place, if icecast does not show up in the process list (ps aux) then just remove the lock file (/var/lock/subsys ?) and restart it again.

Thanks Karl, but how to detect which file to remove from /var/lock/subsys ?
Icecast is not on the list after command ps aux.

the contetnt of /var/lock/subsys is this:

[root@localhost subsys]# ls
acpid avahi-daemon cups ip6tables messagebus nfslock rpcidmapd sm-client
atd bluetooth haldaemon iptables nasd pcscd rsyslog smolt
auditd ConsoleKit hcid kudzu netfs restorecond sendmail sshd
autofs crond icecast local network rpcbind setroubleshootd yum-updatesd
[root@localhost subsys]#

At a wild guess I would say it's the one called icecast

I remove icecast from /var/lock/icecast situation is the same:)
Has Icecast server GUI in Linux, or is text-mode?

[karlH]

check the /var/run directory as well, I'm guessing the fedora script is storing a pid file in there as well. If so remove the one that is icecast related.
