Icecast Streaming Media Server

I want to enable port 80 for icecast, but I have Apache2 server already installed on this icecast server. Thanks!

p.s. I can't speak english very well. Sorry!!!

On this machine where is the apache2 server cannot use port 80 for icecast?

One port is for one app. If Apache runs on 80, Icecast cannot run on the same. Change Apache to something else (port 81, for example), and you have free 80 for incecast.

Why do you want Icecast on 80? Use 8080, or 8000 or anything else...

The only way you can use a port 80 for different apps is if those apps are listening on different IP addresses. Normally all interfaces/IPs are listened on but you can be specific (using bind) but you would need multiple IP addresses for that to work.

The only other possibility is to make apache act a proxy for icecast. Apache would then forward requests to icecast

For apache you can set virtual host for port 80:

<VirtualHost music.yourdomain.net:80>
Servername music.yourdomain.net
Redirect 301 / http://music.yourdomain.net:8000/
</VirtualHost>

So, when otherwise apache etc configured properly, when you use www.yourdomain.net it will open main www page, but music.yourdomain.net will open icecast status page.
It will just redirect permanently everything from music.yourdomain.net:80 to music.yourdomain.net:8000/ and for me that worked fine on my project server.

A redirect to a different port like 8000 won't work if port 8000 is blocked. Using a similar definition but to forward requests may work well enough.

I use that above virtualhost-redirect just for one specific subdomain.
I tried to configure apache proxy, but couldn't get it work, so I found that redirect to work for me.

Thanks !!! My radio can be listening in winamp without port which i set up.

The mistery is in this
