similar to: icecast 2.0.0 chroot problem

Thanks for the superfast reaction. You got me started thinking. I got rid of the following lines number 3 and 8 hereunder. They were present in the example xml and I think that they don't belong here because icecast won't run if chroot is not being used........ Now it starts. I am very happy about this!!!! :-) JK 1 <security> 2 <chroot>0</chroot> 3

Hmm Im not too familar with RH AS, I have been using Redhat since 5.2 though, and in my experiences its better to be safer than sorry. Essentially what you are allowing is the icecast user the ability to login to a shell, which can lead to disaster. Just a piece of advice, I would disable the shell on that user!! Good Luck and let me know if you have any other questions on getting Icecast up.

OK, took a crash course in systemctl. Got the service properly enabled. However, got one odd error when I started it. Mar 26 18:06:10 {my-FQDN} icecast[839]: ERROR: You should not run icecast2 as root Mar 26 18:06:10 {my-FQDN} icecast[839]: Use the changeowner directive in the config file The XML shows: <changeowner> <user>nobody</user> <group>nogroup</group>

Well, here's the whole output from systemctl. # systemctl status icecast -l icecast.service - Icecast Network Audio Streaming Server Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/icecast.service; enabled) Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Thu 2015-03-26 18:06:10 CET; 38min ago Process: 839 ExecStart=/usr/bin/icecast -c /etc/icecast.xml (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE) Main PID: 839

Hi, I am ashamed of myself. It is a default configuration setting in icecast.xml Cheers, JK _____ From: Jan-Kees Fels [mailto:jankees@familyfels.com] Sent: Saturday, February 21, 2004 2:58 PM To: 'icecast@xiph.org' Subject: maximum 2 mountpoints?? Hi there, Not sure if this is a limit of icecast or ezstream. When I try to make a third mount I get :

I have 2 icecast servers and neither will play music, 1 gentoo, the other ubuntu when connect to a mount and trying to broadcast via mixxx using both mp3 or ogg. Both will establish a stream feed but appears to have no sound. One of them won't even stream a ices2 mounted song either (same symptom, connect but no actual play occurs). Error logs are clean too, firewall is turned off on both

I figured out half the issue. Icecast appears to be transmitting on port 8000 just fine. The more I dig, the more I realize icecast is fine. Browser vlc seems to be broke. Direct connect via VLC standalone to -> http://66.228.49.182:8000/66.228.49.182.ogg.m3u works perfect. http://tinypic.com/r/2yl1qhc/6 I break there. Thank you!

Not sure if this has been fully answered yet, but in order for chroot services to run effectively you will need to change the ownership of all directories and files to, in this case, nobody:nobody. If you are not very familar with running chroots, you will also need to disable the shell login within your /etc/passwd file ex like this: icecast:x:504:505::/opt/icecast:/sbin/nologin In this case I

Hello, first of all thank you for your patience and having answered you. I tried to change port from 8000 to 8001 but nothing happened. I am using a vps server so I don?t need to open port from router. I paste here all my icecast.xml configuration file. can you please give a llok and tell me if all seems ok to you? still thank you! *** root at mail2:/etc/icecast2# nano icecast.xml GNU nano

Just to make it simple and clear, all I'm trying to do here is start the thing automatically when the system boots, which isn't often, but it does happen. I took a page from my old system and modified the init.d script, which looked reasonable at the time. Like I've always said to anybody who wanted to know, I'm the guy with just a little knowledge, and you know how they say a

Hello, in the first listen socket, I put 8001 to make a test, generally it is always set to 8000. should I change also the second listen socket? Il giorno 30/lug/2014, alle ore 22:15, Jos?

I've got a redhat linux 9.0 box and I've made sure Apache is out of the way, so that I can do what I really want to do, which is to run Icecast on port 80 of the server, so listeners can grab the stream even through the toughest firewall. I have been wrestling with this for a number of hours, consulted a few experts, and am coming up zilch. Theoretically, I should be able to just

I just installed Icecast2 and the installation was a sucess. However, when I go to startup Icecast. It's reply is: [root@linuxserver bin]# ./icecast -c /etc/icecast.xml WARNING: You should not run icecast2 as root Use the changeowner directive in the config file [root@linuxserver bin]# <p>So then I go into the icecast.xml and alter the changeowner User to admin. Here is a bit from my

sorry, for the dup email here... my first reply was composed as html... I think you should read 'man chown', it looks to me as though the first command you got from Fu Kite may have been a typo, unless there is something i don't know about putting a '.' between the user and group name in chown. i think what you wanted to do was (notice the colon): $ chown -R sphynx:sphynx

my guess would be that the sphynx user does not have permission to write to the folder /var/log/icecast try running the following command: chown sphynx.sphynx /var/log/icecast then as root you can execute: icecast -c /usr/local/etc/icecast.xml The reason you can run the icecast command as root is because when you set <chroot>1</chroot> in the <security> section (which you
