Hi all, So I am pretty new to the ice cast concept and server. However, I have installed it and successfully hosted streams. On my server, we offer hosting of ice cast servers. For example, I have the main server in which I use running on port 8000. What I want to do is allow other users to broadcast using port 8003, etc, but with a different password then the main user. I am sure I?m just missing something here, but since I?m new with this I don?t really know what to search for. I tried copying the icecast.xml file to another place, and configured it with the user accounts having different passwords, and the first port to 8003 and the second to 8002. When I type icecast2 -c icecast.xml, I get some error telling me that I can?t run from root. As you can probably see by now, I am some what lost thanks for your help on this
Just create yourself another administrative account on your system and try running that file again and everything should be good to go. I really don't run things from root, I just run them from an administrative account and it does it pretty well.
