Icecast Streaming Media Server

[Anonymous]

I got my icecast server running finally, but I have some doubts.
Cant get the mountpoint to work, for example I have simplecast setup at 24k with the mountpoint /radiotest
It connects ok, but in 5 seconds the mountpoint disappears from the icecast status page.

What I´m doing wrong? I also I would like to know how to use the same port for different stations. Thanks.

This is my config:

check your icecast error log to see what happens to the mountpoint. Your stream may just being getting disconnected. Any icecast2 source client can use the same port for multiple streams, as long as the mountpoint name differs
