Icecast Streaming Media Server

[martin]

Hi Guys,
first i want to say sorry for my very bad primaryschool english

HTPASSWD Listener Authentication don't works on my server.
When i try to add a user there comes the following message "User add failed - check the icecast error log"
I can't find anything like that in the error log.

Before we can say what needs fixing, we would need to know the error log details. Only there will it say the reason for the failure. This is assuming that the above mountpoint description applies, as most people who say it doesn't work have actually commented out the <mount> in their xml

Here's the error log.
I have deleted the "<!---- ---->" If you mean that...

When I see lines like

[2006-02-22 15:46:58] WARN auth_htpasswd/htpasswd_recheckfile failed to check status of myauth
[2006-02-22 15:46:58] WARN auth_htpasswd/htpasswd_adduser Failed to open authentication database "myauth": Permission denied

I suspect you haven't place the auth file in a place where the icecast server can read and write the file. Have you tried using absolute paths?

You really should place the text file somewhere icecast can read and write, where is up to you but try avoid places like webroot or any other place where users could download it. I know next to nothing about your situation, how about /usr/local/share/icecast/myauth

thats silly or isnt it?
sry for the stupid questions

[karlH]

wrong!, you set the value, not the name. Don't you think it would be more sensible to have

<option name="filename" value="/path/to/myauth"/>
