Icecast - Aug 2004 - Problem with logger

Here is the path, logging and security configuration in my icecast.xml file
(below). I get the following error:

Changed root successfully to "/opt/icecast/"
Changed groupid to 504.
Changed userid to 504.
FATAL: could not open error logging
FATAL: could not open access logging
FATAL: could not start logging.

Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

icecast.xml: --------------

<paths>
<!-- basedir is only used if chroot is enabled -->
<basedir>/opt/icecast</basedir>

<!-- Note that if <chroot> is turned on below, these paths must both
be relative to the new root, not the original root -->
<logdir>./log</logdir>
<webroot>./web</webroot>
<adminroot>./admin</adminroot>
<pidfile>./icecast.pid</pidfile>

<!-- Aliases: treat requests for 'source' path as being for
'dest' path
May be made specific to a port or bound address using the "port"
and "bind-address" attributes.
-->
<!--
<alias source="/foo" dest="/bar"/>
-->
</paths>

<logging>
<accesslog>access.log</accesslog>
<errorlog>error.log</errorlog>
<loglevel>4</loglevel> <!-- 4 Debug, 3 Info, 2 Warn, 1 Error
-->
</logging>

<security>
<chroot>1</chroot>
<changeowner>
<user>icecast</user>
<group>icecast</group>
</changeowner>
</security>

User id 504 (the user you're running as, "icecast") does not have
write access
to the log directory, or the log directory does not exist.

Hi,

check if the user icecast has write
access to the log directory you specified -
if not, change it and icecast should work.
