Icecast - Oct 2023 - "Could not create listener socket on port" error only when using systemd service

Hi,

I'm using icecast via Fedora 37 package and systemd service to start.

I've added multiple <listen-socket> but get:

"EROR connection/connection_setup_sockets Could not create listener 
socket on port xxx"

Nothing listens on the ports in question, I verified via nc(1) and 
manually starting icecast via

"/usr/bin/icecast -c /etc/icecast.xml"

I can't find anything (chroot?) in icecast.service file [1] that might 
explain how the port is used for a short time causing start to fail.? 
Anyone have an idea what to try?

Thanks,
Michael

icecast.service:

[Unit]
Description=Icecast Network Audio Streaming Server
After=network.target

[Service]
ExecStart=/usr/bin/icecast -c /etc/icecast.xml
ExecReload=/bin/kill -HUP $MAINPID

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

That error sounds like it could either be an issue relating to which 
user is starting the Icecast daemon (f.e. typically only root can listen 
on ports < 1024), or there'salready a service running on the requested 
port (which you seem to have verified it's not).

What are these multiple listening sockets you've got going btw? Sounds 
related. Post the part of the config for this if you're able.


Cheers,

I have a problem with a Windows icecast 2.4.4 on Windows 2012 R2

 ?

It appears to be working correctly and I can connect and listen but after about
a week Alexa units, mostly Echo/1.0(APNG), cannot connect, or connect for only a
few seconds.

 ?

I suspect that this is a .Net update problem as this worked fine for 18 months. 

 ?

Has anyone else experienced this?

 ?

I have uninstalled the icecast and reinstalled it and that fixed it for 10 days
then the problem started again.
