try specifying an absolute path to icecast.xml. also check
owner/group/permissions.

/etc/init.d/icecast2 is actually included in the startup ?
Check with ls /etc/rc* | grep icecast2

Thanks Jeff,

the /etc/icecast2 is owned by root and group root

I am not sure what you mean about the absolute path to icecast.xml.  In 
which file?  the /etc/init.d/icecast2 file?

This is what is there:

# Defaults
CONFIGFILE="/etc/icecast2/icecast.xml"
CONFIGDEFAULTFILE="/etc/default/icecast2"
USERID=icecast2
GROUPID=icecast
ENABLE="false"

could it be that it says USERID and GROUPID are icecast2 and icecast 
respectively?

[This email is either empty or too large to be displayed at this time]

whomever posted I can quite follow, either Jeff or Jose, this

/etc/init.d/icecast2 is actually included in the startup ?
Check with ls /etc/rc* | grep icecast2

I am working on ubuntu and we don't have an /etc/rc.  we have 
/etc/init.d and there is an /etc/init.d/icecast2 file there.

Interesting, I manually started the icecast2 and I shut it down using 
the /etc/init.d/icecast2 stop.
