 Posted: Fri Oct 31, 2008 10:20 am Post subject: Icecast doesn't start on OpenWRT |
 |
|
Hi!
First of all I really like the work you are doing! I am trying to install the icecast server on OpenWRT Kamikaze (Linux Kernel 2.4.35.4)!
My Hardware a ASUS WL-500gPV2 and i have installed the icecast server via opkg install icecast!
While trying to run your icecast server version 2.3.2 encountered a problem at start up...
| Code: |
root@WL-500gPV2:~# icecast -c /etc/icecast.xml
Server startup failed. Exiting
|
All the logpaths im my config are valid and 777 chmod'd but there is no log output in the /var/log/icecast/error.log!
Whats wrong?
My icecast config is
| 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>
<burst-on-connect>1</burst-on-connect>
<burst-size>65535</burst-size>
</limits>
<authentication>
<source-password>hackme</source-password>
<relay-password>hackme</relay-password>
<admin-user>admin</admin-user>
<admin-password>hackme</admin-password>
</authentication>
<hostname>192.168.1.1</hostname>
<shoutcast-mount>/live.nsv</shoutcast-mount>
<listen-socket>
<port>8000</port>
</listen-socket>
<listen-socket>
<port>8001</port>
<shoutcast-compat>1</shoutcast-compat>
</listen-socket>
<paths>
<basedir>/usr/share/icecast</basedir>
<logdir>/var/log/icecast</logdir>
<webroot>/usr/share/icecast/web</webroot>
<adminroot>/usr/share/icecast/admin</adminroot>
<alias source="/" dest="/status.xsl"/>
</paths>
<logging>
<accesslog>access.log</accesslog>
<errorlog>error.log</errorlog>
<loglevel>4</loglevel>
</logging>
<security>
<chroot>0</chroot>
</security>
</icecast> |
I hope you can help me with this problem! Where can i look for other error logs?

<logdir>/<errorlog> so in this case /var/log/icecast/error.log

icecast is running under root and the logdir + the logfiles are all 777 root:root
| Code: |
root@WL-500gPV2:/tmp/log# ls -lR
.:
drwxrwxrwx 2 root root 80 Oct 31 10:59 icecast
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Oct 7 07:55 lastlog
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Oct 7 07:55 wtmp
./icecast:
-rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Oct 31 09:27 access.log
-rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Oct 31 10:59 error.log |
i have no idea where to look for the problem? |

As the user you run icecast as, try the following
echo hello > /var/log/icecast/error.log
I haven't seen any setups that use /var symlinked to /tmp before

| yeah i've tried this already and it worked! on openwrt's kamikaze /var -> /tmp is the default setup because /tmp is the RAM which violate on reboot! |

The problem here is that there's no other messages which would tell us what is wrong. For instance a log open failure would report
FATAL: could not open error logging (/var/log/icecast/error.log): No such file or directory
The xml posted looks valid for a 2.3.2 release so it's not an xml format issue. You could run strace -o output.txt icecast -c icecast.xml and send the output file to me to check to see how far it does get.

Ok i ran it und sent the output file via Email to you!
Thanks a lot for looking at it 
my shell call was
| Code: |
root@WL-500gPV2:~# strace -o /mnt/output.txt icecast -c /etc/icecast.xml
Server startup failed. Exiting |
Maybe it doesn't start because of the limited system resources on the openwrt device. The following is returned from # top.

checking over the output file seem to indicate some unusual paths to the shared libraries which look suspicious. The output show the xml being read but then doesn't progress any further, maybe a bad/outdated libxml2?

Okay but i've tried to reinstall libxml2 for 3 times and it doesn't change anything! I used this libxml2 with lighttpd as well and ain't had any problems!
runnind ldd icecast returning this
| Code: |
root@WL-500gPV2:~# ldd icecast
libcurl.so.4 => /usr/lib/libcurl.so.4 (0x2aaee000)
libcrypto.so.0.9.8 => /usr/lib/libcrypto.so.0.9.8 (0x2ab63000)
libssl.so.0.9.8 => /usr/lib/libssl.so.0.9.8 (0x2aca5000)
libxslt.so.1 => /usr/lib/libxslt.so.1 (0x2ad1c000)
libxml2.so.2 => /usr/lib/libxml2.so.2 (0x2ad8f000)
libdl.so.0 => /lib/libdl.so.0 (0x2aef0000)
libz.so.1 => /usr/lib/libz.so.1 (0x2af33000)
libm.so.0 => /lib/libm.so.0 (0x2af84000)
libgcc_s.so.1 => /lib/libgcc_s.so.1 (0x2afd2000)
libpthread.so.0 => /lib/libpthread.so.0 (0x2b021000)
libc.so.0 => /lib/libc.so.0 (0x2b076000)
ld-uClibc.so.0 => /lib/ld-uClibc.so.0 (0x2aaa8000)
|
which seem to be the correct paths!
Do you know a way to check if the lib is corrupted? |

the strace seems to show a difference from the ldd output, I don't know why as the platform is not something I've used and I understand that the libs have been made less bloated for the platform, maybe the strace app has problems determining the calls made. I'd check to see if the libxml2 is recent enough as it seems that the xml is parsed and then the process exits. I can maybe do a patch to 2.3.2 to see how far it really gets to but see if you can see any libxml2 issue first.
