Icecast - Aug 2004 - cannot get icecast and ices to talk...authentication failed

I have a weird one...
I installed icecast 2 and ices .23 on Mandake, and am not having any luck
I compiled and installed the nightly icecast just today.

It seems to work fine, however when I telnet to it (10.0.0.3, port 8000),
I am unable to login unless the first line contains ONLY the password.

I used ethereal to see that iceS is trying to send to authenticate, and it
is sending (as the first line):
------------------------
SOURCE hackme /example1.ogg

<p>And then some other information (separated by a single \n), and after
the
\n\n (double CR combo), it fails, and I am getting
------------------------
Error during send: Mount failed on http://10.0.0.3:8000/example1.ogg,
error: Could not login on server. Server message: HTTP/1.0 401
Authentication Required

<p>I feel kinda dumb in that I think that cannot really be this difficult,
but I am at a stand still.  Here are the config files:

Looks like in your icecast config your using hell0 as the password but in
the ices config your using hackme.

No. My local configuration defines <mount> elements for several of my 
mountpoints. It works.

I just tried with no mountpoint information, and I get the same results,
icecast is still not accepting 'SOURCE hackme' as the first header, it
only wants the password (verified by telneting in).

So, how to I recompile libshout2 into the ices2beta?  It doesn't want to
take the command-line param, or the in.so.conf file setting (or the LIBDIR
evn variable)...

Or, can someone give me a knwon working ices.conf (ices 0.2.3) and
icecast.xml (ver 2) to test with?

Or, is there a better streamer that uses the command line?  It's tempting
to go back to shoutcast, but I'm really interested in getting icecast to
work based on the feedback I've read about it!!

Help!?

You need a snapshot version of ices (www.xiph.org/~brendan) and
libshout 2, then you need to change your protocol to http.

Alternatively you can use the icy protocol with your current
version. icecast2 doesn't use the xaudiocast protocol used by icecast
1.

when you fetch the stuff from www.icecast.org/~brendan/, namely his
updated version of ices 0.2.3 and libshout 2, it works quite well.

I'm webasting 2600.com's OTH show, using ices 0.2.3 and icecast 2. it
works very well. url:

I've tried icy...not much luck there.  But, I've only used icecast 2,
using xaudiocast, but don't know a good way to tell the version to be
absolutely sure.

I got libshout2, compiled, and installed, but the ices2beta cannot seem to
find it?!  I set LIBDIR = /usr/local/lib (where the install indicated the
lishout files were), updated the ls.so.conf, and even used the
--libdir=/usr/local/lib flag when trying to complie ices2beta, to not
avail.

What do I need to do to get libshout to be recognized?

BTW, sorry about leaving in my hell0 password, they are all the same, but
I changed them all to hackme for the email...guess I don't need to do that
anymore :)

Thanks for the advice so far!

I've just finished building Debian packages of all of the software in 
question.  I ran into the same problem during testing.

It seems to me, that sourcing with ices does not work on any mountpoint
which is defined with a <mount> in icecast.xml.  Either changing the
target
mountpoint in the ices configuration, or removing the <mount> section from
the
icecast configuration fixed this for me.

Is this a correct diagnosis?  It is quite reproducable with my packages, at 
least.  This would seem to be a rather significant discrepancy in the example 
configurations, or perhaps just confusion as a result of a complete lack of 
documentation.
