that sounds like your config file is malformatted. Make sure all your elements are spelled correctly, all "<!--" have matched "-->", and that you're closing all the elements that open. It's pretty easy to typo and break your xml.
You might try actually posting the xml file (without passwords, of course) someplace like pastebin, and seeing if someone on irc or just someone familiar with xml in general can help you figure out what's wrong with it. |

It could also mean that the poster its taking /path/to/icecast.xml too literally, and instead should use a real path.

I don't know if anyone is still reading this thread, but I just successfully installed icecast2... and experienced every. single. problem... And the parsing issue isn't malformat of the cfg file(because the default cfg does the same thing), it's the permissions to parse it. So it appears the the directories for /etc/icecast2/, & /var/log/icecast/ don't install with at least 666 permissions by default. You'll find that once you finally get the cfg file (/etc/icecast2/icecast.xml) properly chmodded, you still can't start it because of the logs. So you need to run:
sudo chmod 666 /var/log/icecast2
and that should do it. There are two log files that it tries to create there:
access.log & error.log
Feel free to msg me if anyone is still reading this and needs help. |
