Hi, I am a new user.

I want to enter the following CONFIG TEXT in the SC_Serv Notepad as part of setting up shoutcast for the first time. Can you let me know where I enter the text because the SC Serv Notepad I open looks like instructions, rather than a place where you can enter and save config?

This is the info I want to enter:
*********************
Required stuff
*********************

MaxUser: Devide your upload bandwidth by your chosen bitrate to calculate how many listeners you can support.

Password: Enter one

Port Base: Enter one. Dont forget to allow access to this port via your Router or Firewall.

***************************
Server configuration
***************************

AdminPassword: As above

PublicServer: Your choice.

****************************
Network configuration
****************************

SrcIP:
127.0.0.1

Here is the first paragraph from the Sc_serv notepad:

; SHOUTcast Distributed Network Audio Server configuration file.; Copyright (C) 1998-2004 Nullsoft, Inc.; All Rights Reserved.; Last modified Mar 17 2004; If you want to manage multiple configurations, just copy
; this file to another name, and run sc_serv with that name
; such as:; sc_serv.exe sc_leet.conf

; ***************************
; Required stuff
; ***************************

; MaxUser. The maximum number of simultaneous listeners allowed=10; Compute a reasonable value for your available upstream bandwidth (i.e. if ; you have 256kbps upload DSL, and want to broadcast at 24kbps, you would ; choose 256kbps/24kbps=10 maximum listeners.) Setting this value higher ; only wastes RAM and screws up your broadcast when more people connect ; than you can support.MaxUser=32
; Password=one. While SHOUTcast never asks a listener for a password, a ; password is required to broadcast through the server, and to perform ; administration via the web interface to this server. This server should; consist of only letters and numbers, and is the same server your broadcaster; will need to enter in the SHOUTcast Source Plug-in for Winamp. THIS VALUE; CANNOT BE BLANK.
Password=one; PortBase=one. This is the IP port number your server will run on. The; value, and the value + 1 must be available. If you get a fatal error when
; the DNAS is setting up a socket on startup, make sure nothing else on the; machine is running on the same port (telnet localhost portnumber -- if you; get connection refused then you're clear to use that port). Ports < 1024
; may require root privledges on *nix machines. The default port is 8000.
PortBase=8000;

Open with Wordpad the first time, and the line breaks should all format correctly. After that, you can use Notepad. Just edit the parts you want to change. Save, and restart.
