FreeBSD Installation Problems

[praxedis]

I've uploaded the shoutcast server to my own Web server that I have shell access to and unpacked the files.

When I enter my shell account and the directory where I unpacked the files and type "./sc_serv" (without the quotes), it says "command not found."

Something tells me that I'm doing something fundamentally wrong here.

I also have a question about IP addresses. The IP address I need is for the location where the SC server sits, right?

Hmm one this belongs on the Shoutcast Forum since you can probably get more help from professionals there but I don't care just to let you know for future reference.

Ok to your problem. I think that it is probably because your FreeBSD system doesn't allow background sessions and won't let you run a process. This basically means your out of luck but I could be wrong. Post this message on the Shoutcast forum and you will probably get a better answer.

1. Make sure you have given sc_serv execution permissions. I usually use an FTP program to do this (for owner and group set yes for read, write and execute, read only for public).

2. Make sure you install and run as root.

3. As far as the IP addresses, unless you want to tie it to a specific IP, leave the settings in the config file to ANY, that way it will be available from any of the available IP's on the computer.
