I have installed the icecast server on my Debian Linux 2.2. I modified the distributed icecast.conf (as far as thought was necessary), and I set up the shout.conf... Both server and shout are started from root and are set up to localhost. I could start the server, but when I started shout, it did find the server, but it was blocked with the message "BAD PASSWORD[encoder]" even if the password matched exactly. So, I changed the icecast server encoder_password with "set encoder_password now" to "now" and the server affirmed the change. Then I started shout with the option "-P now", but still the message "BAD PASSWORD[encoder]". I don't know what I did wrong, but probably the error is somewhere totally else than I have been looking for. I have attached the config files I changed, so if I made a mistake setting up those config files, please mail the changes which have to be done. -- +++ GMX - Mail, Messaging & more http://www.gmx.net +++ NEU: Mit GMX ins Internet.

The Debian Icecast server is compiled with password crypt support, which means you can't put the password in in cleartext. You will have to apt-get install makepasswd and do something like echo "password" > passwd.tmp makepassword --crypt --clearfrom=passwd.tmp and paste the encrypted password in to your icecast.conf file. Hope this helps.
