Hi all. me again! I've decided after some good advice from Sascha to go with a CentOS build. I've got icecast installed and running, however I'm having difficulty in finding a script that will start the icecast server on boot. Does anybody have one built, or know where I can find one? Ive kept everything pretty much standard in that the icecast server uses user "icecast" and the group is nogroup. Thanks again Huw -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL: http://lists.xiph.org/pipermail/icecast/attachments/20110213/3248e94e/attachment.htm

I'm running Centos 5.5 You can get icecast for Centos 5.5 from the EPEL repo at: rpm -ivh http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/5/i386/icecast-2.3.2-4.el5.i386.rpm Icecast on Centos 5.5 includes the startup script: /etc/rc.d/init.d/icecast Icecast will try to start when you reboot the machine. However it will not actually start untill you have adapted the configuration file for your system, /etc/icecast.xml I have icecast installed, but have not got it working yet. # yum info icecast Installed Packages Name : icecast Arch : i386 Version : 2.3.2 Release : 4.el5 Size : 999 k Repo : installed Summary : ShoutCast compatible streaming media server URL : http://www.icecast.org/ License : GPLv2 Description: Icecast is a streaming media server which currently supports : Ogg Vorbis and MP3 audio streams.

Ive just tried running that but I'm getting this error: [root at junglised ~]# rpm -ivh http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/5/i386/icecast-2.3.2-4.el5.i386.rpm Retrieving http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/5/i386/icecast-2.3.2-4.el5.i386.rpm error: skipping http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/5/i386/icecast-2.3.2-4.el5.i386.rpm - transfer failed - Unknown or unexpected error warning: u 0x1996d580 ctrl 0x19970780 nrefs != 0 (download.fedoraproject.org http) I'm guessing its because my VPS is 64 bit? If it's the case I'll do a fresh install of the 32bit version.

Thanks Keith for the pointers on icecast and ices-cc installation how-to. I followed the instructions and completed the two installations in no time. Once, the two programs are installed on CentOS, what's next. Lend a guiding hand to an eager newbie. And keep those straight guidelines coming, please.
