Hello, what I'm trying to do, is use VLC to make the stream, and sent it to Icecast. First I've started the server but it gives me some problems. I have edited the configuration file:

Code:
<icecast>
    <limits>
        <clients>100</clients>
        <sources>2</sources>
        <threadpool>5</threadpool>
        <queue-size>524288</queue-size>
        <client-timeout>30</client-timeout>
        <header-timeout>15</header-timeout>
        <source-timeout>10</source-timeout>
        <!-- If enabled, this will provide a burst of data when a client
             first connects, thereby significantly reducing the startup
             time for listeners that do substantial buffering. However,
             it also significantly increases latency between the source
             client and listening client.  For low-latency setups, you
             might want to disable this. -->
        <burst-on-connect>1</burst-on-connect>
        <!-- same as burst-on-connect, but this allows for being more
             specific on how much to burst. Most people won't need to
             change from the default 64k. Applies to all mountpoints  -->
        <burst-size>65535</burst-size>
    </limits>

but when I startup the server:
Code:
icecast -c /etc/icecast2/icecast.xml


it generates an error, which i don't know how to solve,:
Code:
sudo icecast -c /etc/icecast2/icecast.xml
Password:

Icecast Version 1.3.12 Initializing...


does anyone know what happen??
if there's anyone who knows how to stream with VLC and sending it to Icecast, will be very helpful.

Thanks

The key thing to see is the following

Icecast Version 1.3.12 Initializing...

As you can see, the icecast you are running is an old unsupported version.

so, what should i have to do?? install a new version. I though I have installed the latest one. I started Synaptics, and look for ICECAST, and I installed it.

The www.icecast.org site clearly shows 2.3.1 as the latest release, but disitributions may label this as icecast2

yes, you are right, the problem is that I have also installed the icecast-server, which isn't necessary. So, they have conflicts.
