Icecast - Jan 2017 - Icecast Server doesn't start even after being properly configured

Hello,

I'm a complete beginner when it comes to Icecast but I've already read
the
initial configuration page and have changed the basic parameters in the
.xml.

I'm trying to run Icecast on a Windows machine. In the install dir I've
put
all the folders except /bin inside /bin, as the icecast.bat doesn't accept
any configuration file and always starts up by default at 127.0.0.1.

The changes I've made to the /doc/icecast.xml are the following ones.

I've changed the <hostname> to my public IP address and tried to start
the
server. In the console once I execute the command "icecast -c
./doc/icecast.xml" shows nothing (I've also changed the location and
such
so it doesn't throw the warnings). Once I try to access the Icecast page
via that IP the connection times out, just localhost works.

Apart from that, the default mountpoint /stream doesn't work either, 404 is
returned. The same happens if I modify it to a custom one.

I've already allowed Icecast on my firewall and opened the given port
although UPnP is enabled.

I don't have any clue about what's happening with it, hope you can shed
some light at it.

try changing it to the IP address of the computer you are running it on.

to see it from the outside world port 8000 needs to be forwarded to the 
same computer

Thanks for the response Robert, but the situation stills the same. Tried
with all the possible IP addresses and forwarded again the port 8000 but
still the same.
