I have set up valued in /etc/icecast2/icecast.xml according to the official Icecast 2.1.0 Documentation at http://icecast.org/docs/icecast-2.1.0/icecast2_basicsetup.html, namely according to the statement "for a basic setup the following entries should be changed : <source-password> - will be used by the source client <admin-password> - will be used to access admin features of icecast <listen-socket> (both port and bind-address) <logdir> - directory where log files will be placed <webroot> - any static content can be placed here (file serving root) <adminroot> - directory containing admin xslt files" Relevant sections from my icecast.xml file set up according to this: <source-password>censored</source-password> <admin-password>spearburn</admin-password> <listen-socket> <port>8000</port> <bind-address>127.0.0.1</bind-address> </listen-socket> <logdir>/var/log</logdir> <webroot>/usr/share/icecast/web</webroot> <adminroot>/usr/share/icecast/admin</adminroot> Check that all mentioned directories exist: kestrel icecast2 # ls -lad /var/log drwxr-xr-x 10 root root 4096 Jun 9 21:44 /var/log kestrel icecast2 # ls -lad /usr/share/icecast/web drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jun 10 11:39 /usr/share/icecast/web kestrel icecast2 # ls -lad /usr/share/icecast/admin drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jun 10 11:39 /usr/share/icecast/admin The configuration file has been saved. Now the guide says "Once the configuration file is modified, you should be able to start the server with the following command" As servers are started using /etc/init.d scripts, I started the daemon using /etc/init.d script instead: kestrel root # /etc/init.d/icecast start * Starting Icecast 2... [ ok ] However no Icecast is running: kestrel root # ps ax | grep ice 19489 tty1 S 0:10 icewm And the daemon also cannot be stopped: kestrel root # /etc/init.d/icecast stop * Stopping Icecast 2... No icecast found running; none killed. [ !! ] No log file was obviously created: kestrel log # ls Xorg.0.log apache2 emerge.log lastlog news socksd.log Xorg.0.log.old chrony exim messages ntp.log wtmp acpid cups iptraf mysql samba The guide says "If no error messages are generated, then check the error.log file". No error.log is present in /var/log as can be seen above. I examined the syslog file "messages" and no message was appended, either. The starting method from the guide doesn't work either: "kestrel log # icecast -c /etc/icecast2/icecast.xml ERROR: You should not run icecast2 as root Use the changeowner directive in the config file kestrel log # ps ax | grep ice 19489 tty1 S 0:11 icewm 8132 pts/3 R+ 0:00 grep ice " Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Install icecast 2.1.0 2.Configure icecast according to the official guide at http://icecast.org/docs/icecast-2.1.0/icecast2_basicsetup.html 3. /etc/init.d /icecast start 4. ps ax | grep ice Actual Results: No process is running Expected Results: Print a process line with icecast server Portage 2.0.51.19 (default-linux/x86/2005.0, gcc-3.3.5-20050130, glibc-2.3.4.20041102-r1, 2.6.11-gentoo-r9 i686) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.11-gentoo-r9 i686 Intel(R) Pentium(R) M processor 1.50GHz Gentoo Base System version 1.4.16 Python: dev-lang/python-2.3.5 [2.3.5 (#1, May 4 2005, 16:17:52)] dev-lang/python: 2.3.5 sys-apps/sandbox: [Not Present] sys-devel/autoconf: 2.59-r6, 2.13 sys-devel/automake: 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.5, 1.4_p6, 1.6.3, 1.9.4 sys-devel/binutils: 2.15.92.0.2-r7 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.16 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.8.1-r2 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CFLAGS="-O2 -march=pentium3 -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3.3/env /usr/kde/3.3/share/config /usr/kde/3.3/shutdown /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/lib/X11/xkb /usr/lib/mozilla/defaults/pref /usr/share/config /usr/share/texmf/dvipdfm/config/ /usr/share/texmf/dvips/config/ /usr/share/texmf/tex/generic/config/ /usr/share/texmf/tex/platex/config/ /usr/share/texmf/xdvi/ /var/qmail/control" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/terminfo /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-O2 -march=pentium3 -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoaddcvs autoconfig ccache distlocks sandbox sfperms strict" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://distfiles.gentoo.org http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distributions/gentoo" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="x86 X alsa apm arts avi berkdb bitmap-fonts cdr crypt cups curl emboss encode esd fam foomaticdb fortran gd gdbm gif gpm gtk gtk2 guile imagemagick imap imlib ipv6 jack java jpeg kde ldap libg++ libwww mad mikmod mng motif mozilla mp3 mpeg mysql ncurses nls ogg oggvorbis opengl oss pam pdflib perl png python qt quicktime readline ruby samba sdl slang spell ssl svga tcltk tcpd tetex tiff tls truetype truetype-fonts type1-fonts vorbis xine xml2 xmms xv zlib userland_GNU kernel_linux elibc_glibc" Unset: ASFLAGS, CBUILD, CTARGET, LANG, LC_ALL, LDFLAGS, LINGUAS, PORTDIR_OVERLAY
