I am using Icecast 2.3.2 on Fedora 9 Linux and I have problem with adding new users with passwords. After changing icecast.xml in /etc (as described in icecast2 documentation) and trying to add new user I got a message in error log:
| Code: |

Try using an absolute path for the htpasswd filename (instead of relying on the current directory), you may not be in the directory you think you are in.

There is section from my icecast.xml:
| Code: |
<logdir>/var/log/icecast</logdir>
<webroot>/usr/share/icecast/web</webroot>
<adminroot>/usr/share/icecast/admin</adminroot>
<pidfile>/var/run/icecast/icecast.pid</pidfile> |
In which server's directory should I create .htpasswd ? In /var/www/html ?
I guess that it is: /usr/share/icecast/web ? Am I correct?
Second try:
Edited section from my icecast.xml:
| Code: |
<mount>
<mount-name>/stream.ogg</mount-name>
<authentication type="htpasswd">
<option name="filename" value="/usr/share/icecast/web/myauth"/>
<option name="allow_duplicate_users" value="0"/>
</authentication>
</mount> |
It has not worked. |

personally, from a security point of view, I wouldn't place the list of usernames and passwords in a file where people can just download it, so no I wouldn't place it in webroot. Where ever you decide to locate it, make sure the directory exists and that the user running icecast can write to that directory.

1. Create access / password file (like htpasswd) in another directory, not accessible from external network (not in web enabled directory)
2. Change the path to that file in icecast configuration file
3. Chown the owner of file to icecast default user, set the file permissions to enable writing to file by icecast default user |
