Icecast Streaming Media Server

[rockhost]

Hello, I'm having some difficult being listed in the Icecast.org YP directory. I do have curl installed and it's devel. I've read other posts mentioning that a chroot jail may be the culprit on this issue. I am using a chroot jail. However I see this in the error.log:

First this:

[2007-09-13 17:50:28] DBUG yp/yp_add Adding /mountpoint to http://dir.xiph.org/cgi-bin/yp-cgi
[2007-09-13 17:50:28] DBUG yp/yp_add Adding /mountpoint to http://www.oddsock.org/cgi-bin/yp-cgi

Then this:

[2007-09-13 17:50:29] DBUG yp/add_pending_yp 1 YP entries added to http://dir.xiph.org/cgi-bin/yp-cgi
[2007-09-13 17:50:29] DBUG yp/add_pending_yp 1 YP entries added to http://www.oddsock.org/cgi-bin/yp-cgi

Finally this:

[2007-09-13 18:34:43] EROR yp/send_to_yp connection to http://dir.xiph.org/cgi-bin/yp-cgi failed with "Couldn't resolve host 'dir.xiph.org'"
[2007-09-13 18:34:43] EROR yp/send_to_yp connection to http://www.oddsock.org/cgi-bin/yp-cgi failed with "Couldn't resolve host 'www.oddsock.org'"

How do I work around this problem? Also is oddsock dead? Should I just take that out of my <directory> tags?

Alright, now without the Chroot security I see this:

[2007-09-13 13:52:42] DBUG yp/send_to_yp YP touch at http://dir.xiph.org/cgi-bin/yp-cgi succeeded

So I think I'm golden, right? Well I still can NOT search and find myself in the Icecast.org YP directory. What's up?

Ha ha, well I guess I'm talking to myself here. But hell with it, it's working. I realize now that a listener must be connected for the station to appear in the Icecast.org YP dir.

If someone could help out making this work in a chroot jail I would be stoked.

That's incorrect, to be listed you need a public stream that is accessible, it does not matter how many listeners are on the stream, although on-demand relays are not able to update metadata when they are inactive.

WRT the chroot issue, you have to make sure name resolution works from within the jail, that means you need files like /etc/resolv.conf /etc/nsswitch.conf and the runtime loadable libs that are required to process the entries in nsswitch.conf

Hey Karl, well I know you are the master of all things Icecast, but I tested that YP listing with and without one listener about 3 or 4 times and that's what my experiment resulted in. Zero listeners, zero listing. One or more listener, one listing.

Thanks for the chroot tip. You have confirmed my suspicions. I appreciate your time. The stream is up and well.

Hey again, yeah I'm 100% confident you know what you are talking about. I can just tell you what happened to me. That's all I know.

Enjoy your night!
