Hi and thanks for the replies.
Thomas, is the second option you mention an installation of the daemon necessary
for running as a service?
I have already installed the icecast 2.4.99 from source using
http://downloads.xiph.org/releases/icecast/icecast-2.5-beta2.tar.gz
<http://downloads.xiph.org/releases/icecast/icecast-2.5-beta2.tar.gz> at
icecast.org and have built it using …
./configure
make
make install.
… so I got a little confused by your suggestions.
Dave, in response to your post, /etc/init.d/icecast2 and /etc/default/icecast2
are visible when installing icecast using the apt packet manager on Debian.
When installing from source however, I don’t see these
