Icecast Streaming Media Server

[Anonymous]

Hello,
I have this problem.
I have a website hosted at lycos.nl.
Now i want to install icecast there.
But the only acces i have is ftp, phpmyadmin and mysql.
Also i can run a script.
So i thougt to upload icecast to my server (i.g. www.blabla.nl/stream) and then run a script to start icecast.
Ofcourse after i editted the icecast.xml.
But is it true of am i doing something that can't be done?

Please help !

if you have a shell account (telnet/ssh) you may be able to detach and leave running jobs, however make sure you are not violating terms of service with the isp by running servers with your shell account. Streaming media will eat up bandwidth very fast - and should attract NOC attention very quickly!

If it's an ftp web hosting account (with php/mysql,etc) but no shell acccount, then you would definately be violating terms of service of your provider.
