About relay server

joe1393 · 8th September 2003, 02:47

Hi!

I have a question about relay server. I successfully use server B as the relay server of server A. However, the original hyperlink of server A is serverA.no-ip.com/listen.pls but the hyperlink of server B is serverB.no-ip.com/listen.pls. It's quite inconvenience because we need to send out all the hyperlinks of relay servers to users.

Is there any ways to stick with the address serverA.no-ip.com/listen.pls so that when it reaches the maximum number of users, it can automatically route the request to serverB which is transparent to users?

Thanks in advance!

If they are both listed in the SHOUTcast yp then it should do this automatically. Look for "New backup server xxx.xxx.xxx" in the log.

Thanks Tom!

However, I tried but it seems it's not the case. During the test, I set serverA to allow 1 users and serverB to allow 10 users. When serverB connected to serverA, the no. of users of serverA reaches maximum. Then I use mmjukebox to connect to serverA but it rejects instead of route to serverB. Did I set something wrong?

that means server A cannot have a relay because it needs 1 listener spot to relay appropriately.

Were they both listed in the yp as a cluster when you tried?

What I did was only modify the ini file of serverB with the following lines:

RelayPort=xxxx
RelayServer=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

If I go the the webpage of "SHOUTcast D.N.A.S. Status", both serverA:xxxx and serverB:xxxx are up and running.

Where can I specify the 2 servers as cluster?

BTW, after I upgrade DNAS server to 1.9.2, when using remote admin login, it prompt for username, what's that? It doesn't exists in 1.8.9.

useranme is admin.

did you reset serverb after you made the changes?

joe1393 · 8th September 2003, 04:09

Thanks DJKiller!

I did reset both servers after the changes. If the modification of the ini file is the only settings, I will try again tonight and note if the word "clustered" exists on yellow page.

Thanks all!

no prob

I just tried but it fails again! >_<

In the yellowpage, both are up but the word "cluster" doesn't shows up. What's wrong with my config?

Cluster means your relay is combined (clustered) with the main DNAS.

Right click on the tune-in link from shoutcast.com and save the playlist on your desktop. Open it in a text editor and you'll see both DNAS entries.

joe1393 · 10th September 2003, 17:03

Thanks! However, if I save the listen.pls, it only shows:

[playlist]NumberOfEntries=1 File1=http://ServerA:8000/

It sounds ServerB is not clustered with ServerA. Anything I have missed out?

FesterHead · 10th September 2003, 18:19

Does server A relay server B or does server B relay server A?

joe1393 · 10th September 2003, 23:40

ServerA is the master. ServerB is slave. The log file is attached in previous post for analysis.

Thanks!

FesterHead · 10th September 2003, 23:57

Are you looking at the playlist from the DNAS or from http://www.shoutcast.com?

If from the DNAS, then only that particular DNAS entry will appear in the pls.

If from http://www.shoutcast.com then all relays should be in the pls if and only if [cluster] is prefixed to the station name.

Fire up your DNASs, wait for them to cluster, then examine the pls from http://www.shoutcast.com
