Is port 80 a good choice?

diegosolo · 26th May 2012, 19:44

Hi, I'd really like to have a fancy URL for my broadcast, like http://radio.mysite.com. This looks great, but I'm concerned about broadcasting on port 80. Will I have troubles sending my radio through that port (with proxies or whatever else)? Thank you!

Port 80 is the best port as generally this is the most open port for listeners to connect through. So if you can get it going on port 80, go for it!

If you already have a website running then that won't work because the webserver and the SHOUTcast DNAS can't both use the same port at the same time.

Wow thanks! So, I have my own webserver running CentOS, and I can buy another IP (I think they add a net card when I do that). So, the I could have one IP for Apache and the other for ShoutCast. The thing is... how do I make ShoutCast work in the other IP? (and apache alone in the main one)

Well, if you can guide me I'll appreciate it...

you'd need to use the destip config option which would make the DNAS bind to that IP as long as you've configured anything which is needed for having multiple IP on a single CentOS host.

Make sure you also set httpd.conf to bind to only one of your IP address also:

Listen x.x.x.x:80

Most likely it's currently set to:

Listen 80

Which will bind to all your available IP addresses.
