Setting Up SHOUTcast Server
 

I have a Mac running OS 10.2.4 and I was wondering how I would go about setting up a SHOUTcast server. I downloaded the package from the website, configured the setup file, and started the server. I put a couple of songs in the content folder in the SHOUTcast folder and tried to connect. iTunes did not do anything and QuickTIme threw a -5402 error.

Sounds like your on-demand content isn't configured correctly.

Scroll down a bit and look for the section titled:

Thanks for the advice...

I got my SHOUTcast sever working after I got my hands on to a copy of MacAmp Lite X. I read through some of the posts and found out that some people where not happy with the program and I was wondering if you could help me on how to set up sc_trans_posix server so that I can use than instead of MacAmp Light X.

With SHOUTcast can you run more than one server at a time and if so who do you do this?

Lastly is there any tools for remote admin the server. Can you get a more comprehensive connected user list like that of QuickTime Streaming Server?

Thanks

Q: I was wondering if you could help me on how to set up sc_trans_posix server so that I can use than instead of MacAmp Light X.
A: Maybe someone else can help. I have no experience in this area. Alternatively, browse/search the forums for a previous TS thread.

Q: With SHOUTcast can you run more than one server at a time and if so who do you do this?
A: Yes, you can either install the DNAS multiple times or instantiate the DNAS multiple times using a different configuration file. From the DNASs sc_serv.ini/conf file:

code:
; 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

Q: Lastly is there any tools for remote admin the server.
A: Just the tools from the DNAS and log into the admin area

Q: Can you get a more comprehensive connected user list like that of QuickTime Streaming Server?
A: I don't know what their output is, but you can turn on ip resolving in the DNAS configuration. Also, log into your DNASs admin area and see if that is sufficient information
