Icecast - Nov 2013 - trying to configure ices... and not sure if this is the right list to talk about it here.

Hi all. I?m not sure f this is the correct list to talk about this here but if
not please forgive me. but anyways, I was wondering how you would go about
configuring ices? I have tried  writing my own .xml file but got errors like
parsing errors. and I can?t  find the examples any where. I?ve looked in my root
directory on my server and the way I?ve installed ices is by apt-get. I?m
running a VPS and I would like to install it so that I can do automation with
it. does anyone know how I can get the sample .xml files like it said in the
documentation? or how I could write my own? Thanks and have a good day.

If you are getting parser errors, it is likely that your XML is somehow
invalid.

If you are looking for the example XML files, you can find them in the SVN
repo:  http://svn.xiph.org/icecast/trunk/ices/conf/

It is.

The examples are almost certainly in the package somewhere.  They could be 
in a number of places, depending on how it was packaged.

Two good things to try:

1.  Look in /usr/share/doc/<packagename> - a file like README.Debian may 
tell you specific things about the package.

2.  'dpkg -L <packagename>' will list a package's contents if
it's
installed.  You can see where the files are.

HTH,
Geoff.
