did you compile it or install it using yum?

also, are you root (that is to be able to edit the rc files n /etc)

you can simply put the following:

/path/to/icecast -b -c /path/to/icecast.conf &

(example: /usr/local/sbin/icecast -b -c /user/local/include/icecast.conf & )

into the proper rc file (at the bottom/end) for that particular runlevel (please check your documentation on which runlevel RC file to use as this differs from system to system and user to user)

--OR--

if you used yum, you can use /sbin/chkconfig

(example: chkconfig --add icecast )

note: use the proper name as listed in yum..
(you can use --list to get the name from yum )

I hope this helps!

you gotta have a .conf file somewhere

( this assumes that you DID 'set up' your Icecast server? )

try typing at the prompt:

locate icecast.conf

perhaps Karl can help, here.. but for me, I found it in

/usr/local/include/icecast/icecast.conf

but I'm also running a different flavor of unix than you are.

The icecast.xml file is fine, conf is often used as the extension for ices0 so lets not confuse the two.

Pre-packaged installs will have the necessary boot up (rc) scripts for the distribution, so you could use the boot up script from a standard centos 2.3.2 install for example, or maybe just throw the call to start icecast from the /etc/rc.local file with something like

/path/to/icecast -b -c /etc/icecast.xml

Hello,

I just add this code to /etc/rc.local :

[DJ-Zath]

sorry about that KarlH!

the error was that *I* renamed my icecast.xml to icecast.conf and then had it load that way.. but then forgot I did that (as I did this from years ago) and just imported the old XML and scripts and just loaded them onto the new compile)

I apologize to anyone whom I may have confused here..
