To do so you need to send a SIGHUP. As windows does not have real, working signals there is no way to let it re-read it with the current official version.

Perhaps Icecast Server could listen for a WM_USER Windows message to activate the same action as a SIGHUP on Linux.

Fortunately, it has been completely reliable for many months now. If we encounter trouble I'll set up a Linux box at the station to host the server. -- that Jack Elliott

The problem is that e.g. most of the IPC features are disabled (e.g. this nice SIGHUP thing ;) as well as windows can not handle a high amount of simultaneous clients. If you go with 10 to 100 clients, sure, no problem. If you go higher you *may* hit random (and non-obvious) bottlenecks. Have a nice day and thank you for using Icecast2. :) -- Philipp. (Rah of PH2) -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

I believe many Windows devs would just monitor the filesystem for changes to the config file, and then re-read it when it has changed.

Thanks for your reply...! It was a permission problem as I had to run as admin to edit it! The problem I'm having now is connecting to the server with SAM broadcaster... Is there any other software I need to run other than Sam and icecast? The server is invalidating the password authentication now?

Seems I forgot about it. I'm sorry for that. You can find it as a button in the 'Global server stats' section in the admin area[1]. Have fun! [0] to support it on windows. However it seems to be a nice feature anyway and is non-windows specific. [1] That is in 2.5.x.
