sc_serv - ports

taboo · 21st August 2002, 01:19

Background:
2 local machines

Machine 1 = P100 with RH 7.0 using ipchains (acts as a gateway & firewall) External IP 66.67.197.70 Internal 192.168.0.1
Uses crossover cable to connect to Machine 2

Machine 2 = Athlon 1000Ghz with Windows ME WinAmp2 w/Shoutcast plugin
Internal IP 192.168.0.2

Problem:
I've install the proper ShoutCast server for my nix box
I have edited the sc_serv.conf properly
When starting ./sc_serv (as users or root) I receive the following:

[SHOUTcast] DNAS/Linux v1.8.9 (date) starting up...
[main] pid #
[main] loaded config from sc_serv.conf
[main] initializing (usermax:32 portbase:9000)...
[main] No ban file found (sc_serv.ban)
[main] No rip file found (sc_serv.rip)
[main] opening source socket
[main] error opening source socket! FATAL ERROR! Some other process is using this port!

I have tried using different ports above and below 1024 to no avail.

Any suggestions?

your firewall is blocking the ports you need to open up the shoutcast port and the shoutcast port + 1?

i used ipchains to allow the various ports that I tried

Two things:
1) Don't run sc_serv as root!
2) Set SrcIP back to ANY.
