Setting up shoutcast on my server

[misiano]

well i been trying for a couple days just dont get it how to set shout cast up on my server.

Is there some one who can set this up for me...

I run www.mixtaperadio.net of of my own server and im tired of pay $25 for 20 listners wehn i can hold alot more on my server . Im useing sam2 to broadcast my music..

[Nick@ss]

if it is a webserver the chances are you wont be able to install shoutcast on it,

do you have ssh /root access to the server as that is what you need for getting it installed?

[misiano]

yes i do have root access, i was just trying to install on one of my domains

[misiano]

I have no idea how to do this.. looks all liek a foreign language.. im really looking for some one who can do tjhis for me

Setting up shoutcast on the server is pretty easy.
im guessing that this is a linux server

ssh into the server:

1. (download shoutcast files to server)
wget http://www.shoutcast.com/downloads/s...-glibc6.tar.gz

2. (untar files)
tar -zxvf shoutcast-1-9-5-linux-glibc6.tar.gz

3. (rename folder)
mv shoutcast-1-9-5-linux-glibc6 shoutcast

4.(remove downloaded file)
rm shoutcast-1-9-5-linux-glibc6.tar.gz

5. now you could either ftp into ur server and config sc_serv.conf or use shell editor (pico or nano) depending on the whats install on the box

pico sc_serv.conf
or
nano sc_serv.conf

6. (edit config)
Edit sc_serv.conf file as needed
maxuser
password
port

remore the ; infront of adminpassword and set a password

7. (save config)
ctrl-x to save and exit the editor

8.(start the server)
./sc_serv sc_serv.conf



Hope this helps. good luck

Well call me a idiot. but i just dont get it.....

[misiano]

I use linux...but all this is very forien to me.. just not famiar with i can not get it going.. i use sam2 to broad cast but i tried to install this and nothing...

[misiano]

wel i also use whm and cpanel.. i have no idea how to log in to ftp for the actual server f thats what u mean

[misiano]

I looked all through my whm panle and dont see wwhere my ssl telent is

[IznastY]

you can ssh from cpanel, but first u have to make sure ssh is enabled on the account in whm, so login to ur whm click for Manage Shell Access, click enable shell access on the currect account. then. then login to cpanel using that account, and click ssh/shell access then follow the instructions above.

[IznastY]

Putty is also a nice ssh client you can use instead of cpanel.

[misiano]

ok got that figured out and a black screen comes up i got logged into that.. really i just rather pay some one ot do this for me..Its like trying to learn spanish in a week

[IznastY]

I can do that for you if you like.

[misiano]

Thanks a lot to this thread especially to IZnasty, man!!! You've just save me from a second of cancelling my dedicated server. Thanks a lot to you man!

God bless everyone!!!

[xtraderx]

ok I have my own servers running on linux an when i start them i use the ./sc_serv
then hit ctrl+x
followed by bg to run them in background
an seems that the server still stops
I dont know if there is a different command to ecit putty without stopping the server please help!

NOTE: Config is set ok
; AutoDumpUsers controls whether listeners are disconnected if the source
; stream disconnects. The default is 0.
AutoDumpUsers=0

; AutoDumpSourceTime specifies how long, in seconds, the source stream is
; allowed to be idle before the server disconnects it. 0 will let the source
; stream idle indefinately before disconnecting. The default is 30.
AutoDumpSourceTime=0

[ChuckyDeath]

this is gonna sound stupid, but it works, just click the "X" at the top of the PuTTY window.

[khaver]

O is there any one who can help me in same case As Remote Assistance? I bought Linux server for only this shoutcast server.

[bro_c]

There are a few errors there about untarring. You have to use the gzip command

gunzip < file.tar.gz | tar xvf -

But thanks, I was able to figure out what I was doing wrong, and mine's up and running!

[detone]

Good tips! ;-)

[seachen]

what is URL submitted by user.??

[seachen]

i have done untar my download file.

after i untar, i go http://serverort/ it can show SHOUTcast D.N.A.S. Status. but Server Status: Server is currently down.

how to make it server on? beside that what is my username and password for the admin?

[Sawg]

It is running, you are good. Just connect to it with something, like sc_trans or the SHOUTcast DSP on a windows box.

[gnetuk]

i need the url for the files to upload to my site. please

[caraoge]

go to http://www.shoutcast.com and download them.
But you need SSH access to your machine. You can not run SHOUTcast only with ftp and http access.

[OBarnes]

Misiano. I use cPanel on my server but my server provider wasnlt sure if it would run OK alongside Shoutcast. If you're up and running can you post any problems or not you've had with them running together?

[caraoge]

If you have a own dedicated server you can setup everything you want (if you have enought bandwidth).
If you only have a webhosting plan, you have to ask your webhoster to setup a SHOUTcast server for you.
In most cases, webhosters won`t do that.

[OBarnes]

Yes it's our server and they'll install the Shoutcast software for me but said they couldnlt support it or guarantee it wouldn't conflict with cPanel so I wanted to see if anyone had done something similar. We host multiple websites on the same server you see.

Thanks.

[Nick@ss]

As long as its not using a cpanel port it should be fine.

[REY619]

I followed teh steps and started the DNAS on my server with this command - ./sc_serv sc_serv.conf

Now can someone tell me what is teh commadn to close the DNAS?

Thanks.
