Icecast Streaming Media Server

Ok I am at my wits end, this isnt the first time Ive come across this but not sure how it was resolved. There seems to be a lot of people out there with the same problem from what I found so I am posting this to see if there is any further info or things to try as I am now desperate - loosing over 300 listeners.

I had a HD replacement and OS reinstall. Ran all updates, updated

I originally got the
"/usr/lib/libxslt.so: undefined reference to `xmlXPathContextSetCache' " Error which I find in all the posts related that you say it is related to inconsistencies between libs ( libxml2 and libxslt ) However I have updated to the latest versions of all teh above and devel levels.

Somehow I was able to get icecast to install but after it gets started it runs ok until you go to the directory listing http://IPAddress:8000/ and then crashes the entire setup. We have found the following error after crashing:

icecast: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libxslt.so.1: undefined symbol: xmlXPathCompiledEvalToBoolean

Any insight?

Is this from an older distribution, check the versions of libxml2 and libxslt against the ones on the xmlsoft.org site. If you are sure that you don't have multiple versions that could be causing this then you may have to search for other prepackaged libxml2/libxslt. I've only ever heard this affecting centos setups in which case another rpm package may suffice.

Thanks Karl - with a little playing around Ive gotten icecast to run WITH EXCEPTION. Whenver I go to the directory page http://hostname:8000 I get Could not parse XSLT file

Ok, so I check paths and make the correction to see the correct webroot folder. Once I restart icecast and go to the directory page icecast crashes. with no real error message.

If I have paths correct this is what the log shows:

Ok so I definetly have it down to the status.xsl now crashing the server. I I load a different page in its place it doesnt crash.

Any idea what in there could cause it to crash. I am using default one no mods (yet) And I did get the stable recent release (last) of icecast in.

Error log still not throwing any errors just info

Gi,

Reading again all this thread, I guess your installa might be CentOS 5. This one has an issue with some libs.

I managed having icecast running smooth rebuilding RPM from sources.
Operation is:

So far a no go still Sad

very frustrating because I did have it running on this server and OS before the hard drive replacement,

This is the message that is last line before it crashes

[2009-09-03 07:38:53] DBUG connection/_handle_get_request alias has made / into /status.xsl
[2009-09-03 07:38:53] DBUG auth/add_authenticated_listener Stats request, sending XSL transformed stats

Then nothing else program crashed. Nothing in any other logs.

I still don't see why you cannot get the latest RPMS from the xmlsoft.org site and install those. Remember this is one library complaining about another.

I am running the latest, got them straight from the site, in fact re-did them a
There is isnt anything newer out there. Fact I dumped them, inlcuding yum - cause if you dump then you dump everything. So it was and has been all duped and restarted for the 10th time.

I'm not sure what else you want us to do. We don't maintain libxml2 or libxslt so you'll need to talk to those developers (xmlsoft.org). All I can say is that I don't get the issue and I have libxml2 2.7.3 and libxslt 1.1.24 here. Make sure you are not linking to an older library (eg ldd icecast)
