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?

The ip 127.0.0.1 will work; that's the default ip of any server. You can either use localhost, 127.0.0.1, the external IP, or your example.com domain name. they are all the same thing and will all work. For the file permissions, that's limitation of windows servers; Hope I've helped Albert -----Original Message----- From: icecast-bounces at xiph.org [mailto:icecast-bounces at xiph.org] On Behalf Of Donald E Limbaugh Sent: Thursday, May 21, 2015 9:55 AM To: Icecast streaming server user discussions Subject: Re: [Icecast] Icecast install under Windows Ok.

Thanks, Albert, for the help on the IP address! I'm not sure what you mean about the Windows server. I'm running Windows 8.1 on my PC that runs the radio station... I figured out that the icecast.xml file in the sub-folder is the one that the icecast GUI uses for configuration. ________________________________________ From: icecast-bounces at xiph.org <icecast-bounces at xiph.org> on behalf of Albert Sindjui <sindjui at sibopa.com> Sent: Thursday, May 21, 2015 5:58 PM To: 'Icecast streaming server user discussions' Subject: Re: [Icecast] Icecast install under Windows The ip 127.0.0.1 will work; that's the default ip of any server.
