Icecast Streaming Media Server

[Anonymous]

Hi,

I'm trying to set up a radio station for a game I play, and I got some advice from someone off a different forum.

After I decided to use Icecast (like they recommended) I did a little googling around, and found this guide on setting it up (which seemed to work brilliantly)

I did everything step by step, and double checked everything as I went along, and once again at the very end.

I try accessing it while I have something playing in xmms, and I just get:

"The source you requested could not be found." (feel free to check for yourselves, you might have an idea why I get the error: http://something.homelinux.org:8000/music.ogg )

I assumed it had something to do with the 'music.ogg', so I tried it without it and just left it as :8000.

That gave me a different error:

"The file you requested could not be found"

Any suggestions why I'm getting this error would be greatly appreciated.

Many Thanks in Advance

The first message is because your source client is not connected (or at least not with that mountpoint), so any player requesting that stream is not going to get anything. The second error is because the status page was requested and icecast tried to locate it under <webroot> and it's missing. Check your error log for information about what icecast is doing.
