 Posted: Sat Oct 11, 2008 8:16 pm Post subject: Mount-Authentication error |
 |
|
Hey,
I've installed Icecast 2.3.2 on a Linux system and configured a mount point using the documentation. My code in icecast.xml looks like this:
| Code: |
<mount>
<mount-name>/demo.aac</mount-name>
<authentication type="htpasswd">
<option name="filename" value="myauth"/>
<option name="allow_duplicate_users" value="0"/>
</authentication>
</mount>
|
I can connect the streaming software with the server and want to set up users which are allowed to listen to that stream. So I've gone to the admin site where I can "Add New User" for that mount. If I will do that I get the error "User add failed - check the icecast error log". So I've checked the logs where I get the following error:
| Code: |

Ok I see failed to check/open authentication database "myauth". But what does that mean? Are there no rights on a specific file(myauth)? That can't happen cause the docu means that the myauth file needn't to be add before adding users. Where is the myauth file situated, cause I would chechk the rights, or do I think on a wrong way? What could I do? Any ideas, help?
Thanks and nice WE

seeing that you haven't provided a path for myauth then it would be in the current directory which probably has no write permission for the user running icecast.
