Icecast Streaming Media Server

[gazzagood]

Hi,

Right, I have tried this but cannot work it out, I want to have 6 different icecast scripts running.

How exactly do I go about this? I cannot find a guide on how to do it.

Regards

vague question, which script are you referring to and what does it do?

just the main icecast script.

i have Version Icecast 2.3.2 installed.

I want to have 6 different icecast scripts running.

for 6 different things, all on different ports.

8010, 8020, 8030, 8040, 8050, 8060, for example. each port to have 1 stream each.

so you are using a distribution init.d script to start icecast. So you you need to copied it and change the xml referenced within it.

Could you be more specific when you say copied it?

How exactly is this done?

Please let me know what parts i need to edit.

I have made a new xml called icecast3.xml, standard is just icecast.xml.

copying a file can be done by the cp command. Obviously you'll want to keep one as it is already, and as you want to run another instance of icecast then you'll have to copy the startup script so that the new one refers to the new xml. Check the upstart/init documentation on the configuration files used (including /etc/init.d/ and /etc/rcN.d/ directories). While those files are not provided by us, they don't look especially difficult.
