Icecast Streaming Media Server

[pdeal]

I am trying to setup an icecast2 server to eventually be used for a studio-transmitter link. I am very new to linux and icecast. I have icecast2 installed. I start it in a terminal screen then go to my web browser and try to get to the web interface and the browser does not find it. I left the hostname as localhost and entered "localhost:8000" for the address.

I noticed the following in the error log file:
[2009-05-07 21:03:55] EROR xslt/xslt_transform problem reading stylesheet "/usr/share/icecast2/web/status.xsl"
[2009-05-07 21:03:59] INFO fserve/fserve_client_create checking for file /favicon.ico (/usr/share/icecast2/web/favicon.ico)
[2009-05-07 21:03:59] WARN fserve/fserve_client_create req for file "/usr/share/icecast2/web/favicon.ico" No such file or directory


I noticed that "status.xsl" is owned by root. I don't know what all this does but could this be the problem?

I would be very greatful for any pointers.

All it is saying is that icecast cannot read the file at
/usr/share/icecast2/web/status.xsl
The fact that it is owned by root is not an issue, as long as the user running icecast can read it.

Well the file does exist so what could be the reason it can't be read?

Any ideas why I can't find the program in the browser?

[karlH]

no permission to read the xsl file, or some directory component the file is in. You will not be running icecast as root.
