the adminroot is similar to the webroot. It is the intent that the webroot contain files (html or XSLT files) that normal listeners can access...so things like a status page or what's playing page could be served from there. So if you enable file serving (<fileserve>1</fileserve> in the icecast.xml) and you place files in your webroot, they should be served as a normal web server would serve them.. obviously things like .php or cgi scripts are not supported. If you happen to place an xslt file in that dir, then it will be transformed by the server. The XML file which it uses for the transformation is icecast2's internal stat tree. This is the XML that you see if you hit /admin/stats.xml or /admin/rawstats. In order to use the XSLT stuff, you really need to know XSLT, and that is why samples are provided. now adminroot is like webroot except it serves up exclusively xslt files with predetermined names. It is located as a separate directory since most people don't want their listeners accessing admin pages as well :). The look and feel of the admin XSLT pages can be modified easily (if you know XSLT that is) and sample admin xslt templates are also provided in the /admin distribution directory. also, as a side note, in testing that what I was saying was actually true, I found a bug in the win32 version of icecast which prevented fileserving from the webroot to function properly....so this will be fixed immediately and a new exe will be posted at http://www.oddsock.org/tools/icecast2.... note that the bug applied only to the win32 version. hope it clarifies things a bit.. oddsock At 12:56 PM 6/5/2003 +1000, you wrote:>On Wed, 4 Jun 2003, Bryan Koschmann - GKT wrote: > > > Okay, just to satisfy my mind, can someone give me a rundown on what the > > other things do (other than the streaming portion) > > > > admin root > > web root > > > > by setting these I'm not sure what to put in there or how to access > > them... > > > > and how to use the xsl files?

Okay, just to satisfy my mind, can someone give me a rundown on what the
other things do (other than the streaming portion)
admin root
web root
by setting these I'm not sure what to put in there or how to access
them...
and how to use the xsl files? I still cannot find anything on it.
Sorry if it all sounds stupid, it's just been rather difficult to find
what I am looking for
Thanks,
Bryan

I still cannot find anything on it.Ok. I don't know much about the admin stuff so I won't comment on that. I think Mike might have posted about it before, so a search of the list archives might prove useful. the webroot and XSL files questions are related. To use the XSL files, put them into the directory you've defined as webroot, and then call them through icecast like so: http://server:port/status.xsl The XSL files are templates which you can edit at will to suit your needs/desires. I can't remember if webroot is used for anything else yet. Hope this helps.

That will work just great, I can just use a PHP script to read the status2.xsl and format it using php. I'm curious about one more thing, the stream name and all that, I don't recall being able to set that, but maybe I missed something in the default config. I'm not at that location so I can't check, but would anyone care to give me an enlightening snippet of info? <p>Also, is there something that the yp server does that formatting the .xsl files can't? Thanks, I think I'm starting to get it all now.. :) Bryan --- >8 ---- List archives: http://www.xiph.org/archives/ icecast project homepage: http://www.icecast.org/ To unsubscribe from this list, send a message to 'icecast-request@xiph.org' containing only the word 'unsubscribe' in the body.
