Hello. we are trying to setup some rebroadcast of live feeds with IceCast 2 and darkice server on dedicated machines. With some customers we have problems to get the the mp3 stream through fiorewalls on port 8000. If I reconfigure the IceCast 2 server on port 80 it cannot create a listener socket on port 80. There is definitly no service on port 80 running. Any suggestions are appreciated.

Normally you need to run services as the root user (which icecast recommends against doing) for ports under 1024. So if you're running icecast 2 as a non-root user, that might be your problem. I would try a different non-standard port, like 8002, or whatever. I've had problems with various isp's blocking uploads from port 80, 21, 23, and even 8080. So if your users are trying to upload from port 80, they might still have problems, even if you can get a listener socket on 80.

You can run icecast as root, and using the <changeowner> directive in the config file to make it change to a non-root user. If you do this, icecast will start up, bind to the appropriate port as root, then change to the configured user (you don't want to actually run continually as root for safety/security reasons) before accepting connections. If you don't use <changeowner>, icecast will refuse to run as root.
