mmm... ok. well i got ices2 installed properly now (i hope) after some effort and help (cheers Michael for the prompt response!). the goal is to get ices2 to stream to a peercast client on port 2768. but somehow things are still not going quite as planned. here is the log ----------------------------------------------------- idoru:/var/log# ices /usr/local/etc/ices.conf [2003-03-20 22:55:29] INFO ices-core/main ices started... [2003-03-20 22:55:29] INFO signals/signal_usr1_handler Metadata update requested [2003-03-20 22:55:29] INFO playlist-builtin/playlist_read Currently playing /usr/peercast/aut.aut.ogg [2003-03-20 22:56:00] EROR stream/ices_instance_stream Failed initial connect to localhost:2768 (Socket error: No such file or directory) [2003-03-20 22:56:00] DBUG reencode/reencode_clear Clearing reencoder [2003-03-20 22:56:00] DBUG input/input_loop An instance died, removing it [2003-03-20 22:56:00] DBUG input/input_flush_queue Input queue flush requested [2003-03-20 22:56:00] DBUG input/input_loop All instances removed, shutting down control thread. [2003-03-20 22:56:00] INFO ices-core/main Shutdown complete --------------------------------------------------------------- at first i thought this might have something to do with iptables but thats not the case either. i doubt permisions are the problem since i get the same problem running both peercast and ices2 as root. peercast does work with other channels. so i am pretty sure the problem lies with my ices2.... hmph! heres some of the relevant lines from the ices2.conf file -------------------------------------------- <hostname>localhost</hostname> <port>2768</port> <password>******</password> <mount>/idoru.ogg</mount> -------------------------------------------- the pasword is corect for sure as is the port. any sugestions? the combination peercast ices2 is just so cool i HAVE to get it to work. :-) tchau <p><p>_________________________________________________________________ Add photos to your e-mail with MSN 8.
