Icecast Streaming Media Server

How is this done?

Obviously you edit your config, save it under a new name, but how do you start the second config?

As /etc/icecast/icecast2 start is aimed at "icecast2"? thats the one config... how do you edit this to make a second one?

icecast does not really care where the xml is stored just as long as it can read the file. The filename is provided as a argument to the process so icecast -c /etc/icecast/mysecondconf.xml is valid

Hi,

Yeh, i have done this, but then how do i start the new config? icecast2.xml for instance?

Thanks

[karlH]

using the example I've already given then it would be

icecast -c /etc/icecast/icecast2.xml

Yes, but this is not a start command?

When i run /etc/init.d/icecast2 start i

it starts icecast.xml but not icecast2.xml?

Hi, as /etc/init.d contains scripts, you can copy your icecast2 script to icecast_some_name and edit it to point to wanted config file.

Depending on your linux box, scripts may vary (debian style, redhat, opensuse...), but processing is similar.

Note that if you run multiple instances of icecast server, you must be careful choosing listening ports (or listening IPs in multi-ips servers) to prevent clashes between servers.

Hi,

Thats more helpfull, thank you, however i get the following:

r26339:~# /etc/init.d/icecastdarrenh start
-bash: /etc/init.d/icecastdarrenh: Permission denied
r26339:~#

i edited the config location, and saved under icecastdarrenh just to test

Any ideas why it would say permission denied?

[jcr]

Are you sure your script has goog permissions. Specially, tu should be owned by root and ahave 755 permissions.

so:

chown root:root /etc/init.d/icecastdarrenh
chmod 755 /etc/init.d/icecastdarrenh
