Multiple shoutcast streams on one server

[GPCRADIO]

I know how to set up shoutcast server on my dedicated server. It has been working well. I set up a 48kbps connection serving 20 listeners.

Now, I want to set up a different stream on the same server. How do I do this?

You can run a diffrent instance of the SHOUTcast DNAS using a diffrent PortBase (Needs be at least two off from the original). This requires a second .ini/.conf file to be created, and then you just use the name of the file as a paramater when opening the server.

For more information, I'll need a little more too. Mostly, is this a Windows or Linux server?

Run 'em on different ports. Simple.

I gotta say, though, that searching the forums is going to turn up answers to just about every question you can think of.

As far as becoming a stream host, you're gonna need balls of steel. The average "radio kiddie" won't ever pay for hosting, and the more serious webcasters who do pay for hosting don't have a lot of patience for technical problems. It's a highly competetive, and emotional, business. Before you spend a whole bunch of time, I'd research the market - make sure you're going to see a benefit and that you have the technical expertise to handle the issues, including end-user software support. Good knowledge of SAM, DRS2006, OTSDJ and various other packages is also a good idea.

Good luck with the new business :)

dotme..... I didn't see anywere in the first post the word "business" like you say. You need to cut out all the negitive talk.... becouse it looks like you are trying to drive away any compitition! and don't get to "emotional" like you talk about either.

I am also setting up multiple streams on one server, thats why i found this post in the search. Not everyone is useing this as a business, alot of us are out here for a hobby.

1) The original poster EDITED his post after I replied.
2) I am not a stream host. Never plan to be.
3) My station is a hobby, not a business.

I've spent hundreds of hours helping people get set up with their own radio stations. The original poster is not my competition, so your post is somewhat pointless.
