Description Christopher Schwan 2008-11-05 18:53:03 UTC 
net-misc/icecast-2.3.1-r1 fails to start since log files are created:

FATAL: could not open error logging (/var/log/icecast/error.log): Permission denied
FATAL: could not open access logging (/var/log/icecast/access.log): Permission denied
FATAL: Could not start logging

I fixed this for me with:

touch /var/log/icecast/error.log
touch /var/log/icecast/access.log
chown icecast /var/log/icecast/access.log
chown icecast /var/log/icecast/error.log


Reproducible: Always
