[[icecast] problem remotely loginning into web admin interface]
Hello, I think I figured this problem out. History... After installing icecast last week I had been unable to get the /admin to work. So today I looked into the code. From that exploration it seems that the *.aut files (or at least the mounts.aut) needs to be in the conf directory. If you follow the code in client.c line 176... char *secfile = get_icecast_file (info.mountfile, conf_file_e, R_OK); to the definition of conf_file_e. After a few assignments the value turns out to be "conf" in config.h line 94. BTW, I'm using the icecast-1.3.12 tar. I'm not sure why the etc dir is conf, but I didn't explore any further to see what would happen if I changed it. Instead I moved (or linked) the *.aut files into the conf directory. The /admin link then loaded in the browser, without a user/password setup in user.aut and group.aut (I wasn't sure if that would work or not). So next I created a user and group, which also authenticated and allowed me into the web admin. I didn't see anything on this list about the web admin actually working. Only this message about it not working. Well I can now confirm that it does.
