Hi Marvin, I followed the wiki instructions and they went w/o any issues until C:\Users\username> nssm start Icecast Can't open service! OpenService(): Access is denied! Probably a good idea to mention that the command window needs to be Run as administrator. Then it works.

Ok. I installed icecast win_32 2.4.1 with no problem. The problems arrive when I try changing things... Why are the folders for icecast write protected? I made changes to the icecast.xml file & tried saving it, but got errors saying the file is read only! Then, I scanned the sub-folders in the download folder & found another icecast.xml file! I couldn't make changes that either! I found a sleezy work-a-round: save the file as a different name in a different folder then copy it to the icecast folder, then delete the original file & rename the modified file to icecast.xml. Next: When looking at the icecast.xml, what does the IP address do? The default is http://127.0.0.1. Do I change this to match the IP address of the machine that is providing the stream source? Thanks in advance for any help!! ________________________________________ From: icecast-bounces at xiph.org <icecast-bounces at xiph.org> on behalf of Marvin Scholz <epirat07 at gmail.com> Sent: Thursday, May 14, 2015 2:46 PM To: Icecast streaming server user discussions Subject: Re: [Icecast] Icecast install under Windows On 14 May 2015, at 20:56, that Jack Elliott wrote:> Hi Marvin, > > I followed the wiki instructions and they went w/o any issues until > > C:\Users\username> nssm start Icecast > Can't open service! > OpenService(): Access is denied! > > Probably a good idea to mention that the command window needs to be > Run as administrator.
