Icecast Streaming Media Server

[peepo]

Hi, Ive just turned on the firewall on my server.
Although the dj's software can still get listener figure ststs, the stats on icecast server software have stopped working. I have given icecast permission on all ports I think. Any ideas why firewall would block icecast server stats?

there is so much that in unknown in your question it's hard to give any clear advice. If the DJ software is not going through the firewall then access will be unaffected.

I have icecast server on a dedicated server running windows server 2003. The stats were showing on icecast server until I turned the firewall on, now they are all sitting at 0. However, the source clients are still able to get stat for figures (they use the admin log in details to do this & the listener figures show in the source client software itself) So if they are able to do this, why is icecast server not showing any stats since the firewall has been turned on? Its not even showing on icecast server when a source client is connected.

Ive looked in the error log & there doesnt seem to be anything pointing as to why the stats would suddenly stop working. I havent changed anything in the config file, even in the days running up to when turned the firewall on.

Also I dont understand this part '[2008-07-02 20:00:05] WARN source/source.c unable to open file "../web/archive"' as I have nothing in my config file asking for a file called archive in web/.

[karlH]

In the xml, check the webroot and adminroot setting. The first win32 installer had a ../web and ../admin reference, just replace the .. for . That should fix the No such file or directory message.

I suspect the unable to open file message is referring to a fallback-mount being specified as /archive. Again a corrected webroot will point to the current place but whether you have a file named archive there I can't say.

mm, I dont understand what is happening then because I did already remove one . from my config file ages ago & Im still getting the error.

<paths>
<logdir>./logs</logdir>
<webroot>./web</webroot>
<adminroot>./admin</adminroot>
<alias source="/" dest="/status.xsl"/>
</paths>

for win32, you will need to restart icecast but it is the only place where it is set.
