Hi Alan,
OK. I am now streaming on mountpoint /blah. I’m not streaming music just yet,
but if the stream works you should hear me typing and other stuff. Life in my
living room, if you like.
I still don’t understand why Icecast needs loopback when other servers don’t.
Here’s an example: I have an SCM system, Fossil server running on port 80 and
8000. I can access repositories on that server by either localhost/repo or
home.dayme.me/repo.
I have an FTP server which, again, I can access on ftp://localhost or
ftp://home.dayme.me.
Why can’t I do the same thing on Icecast?
Cheers.

Hi Alan,
Yes. But that’s only locally. My router is going to let me into my own servers
locally anyway. What I want to be able to do is try and connect through
home.dayme.me because, if for whatever reason anything happens, I’ll then know
that maybe there’s a problem with my domain, or my ports have been reset, etc
etc. At the moment I can’t check any of that because I can only connect through
localhost.
Sorry about this. But I really want to get this sorted if at all possible.
Cheers.
