Icecast Streaming Media Server

[Anonymous]

Hi guys,

at first i want to mention im completly new in the world of linx and u just attent a practical training in an company where i have to solve this exercise:

set up an streamingserver with icecast2 and ices2

music files in .ogg from an folder on the hdd

thats the beginning. well i allready installed icecast2 + ices2 via aptitude and installation worked sofar.

i changed passwords in config files and it seem to be quite fine. i accessed from a different pc (windows xp) on the ip by using TCP port 8000 and i had the standard web page provided by icecast2 but there was nothing like "click to listen ->" etc ...
i was able to login with my admin account and the pw set in the config.
for that i followed a guide i found via google but still...

i'd be very happy about help of guys like u who know what they're doing

greetings

Marvin

What you have described is acceptable but something is wrong. My first guess would be to stop and start both processes so that the xml files are reread which is something that you haven't specified. You can check your own log files to see what is being done by icecast.

well i also edited the ices2 configs and set the folder with music and stuff but on the page nothing appears also on the status page when i login as admin there are some nubers of client accesses etc but i cant figure out where the numbers come from since its only me who accesses via the 2nd pc on that server
