I just installed Icecast2 and the installation was a sucess. However, when I go
to startup Icecast. It's reply is:
[root@linuxserver bin]# ./icecast -c /etc/icecast.xml
WARNING: You should not run icecast2 as root
Use the changeowner directive in the config file
[root@linuxserver bin]#
<p>So then I go into the icecast.xml and alter the changeowner User to
admin. Here is a bit from my icecast.xml config file:
<security>
<chroot>1</chroot>
<changeowner>
<user>admin</user>
<group></group>
</changeowner>
</security>
<p><p>When I go to start up Icecast, It replys with the following:
[root@linuxserver bin]# ./icecast -c /etc/icecast.xml
Couldn't find user "admin" in password file
Changed root successfully to "/usr/share/icecast".
WARNING: You should not run icecast2 as root
Use the changeowner directive in the config file
[root@linuxserver bin]#
<p>So my question is where is the icecast2 user password file located?
Thanks heaps.
Nathan
