Icecast Streaming Media Server

[Anonymous]

Hey there
I tried to use the htpasswd option for user authentication, I copied the linex exactly like these shown in the help topics in the icecast.xml file but in the administrators panel I cannot see the red key as shown there
Can someone help me, please. I cannot see where I am wrong.
Thanks!

If the mount has no special symbol (ie just the normal play symbol) then you have probably missed/commented out the authentication settings for the mount.

<mount>
<mount-name>/mishka.aac</mount-name>
<authentication type="htpasswd">
<option name="filename" value="/usr/local/share/icecast/passwd/myauth"/>
<option name="allow_duplicate_users" value="1"/>
</authentication>
</mount>

I copied that config from one of the users in the forum
Amnd I cannot see the red key that notifies that the stream is protected.
Do I have to setyp an .htaccess file manually in that dir?

The xml fragrment looks ok, but obviously we can't tell if it's commented out from that. You should get use to looking at the log files as well. They often point to things that may be missed.
