shoutcast on a server

[Rix]

how do you setup shoutcast on your own linux server

[Luckyrare]

You need shell.

Upload the zip into your home/root folder. Then press Extract File Contents, then rename the dir to "radio".

Go into the radio dir and edit the config (sc_serv.conf)

You only need to edit


MaxUser=32

Password=changeme

PortBase=8000
Okay now open your shell program (download.com or use cpanels one called "SSH/Shell Access" on your main cpanel page)

Log into it using your details and type


cd /home/username/radio/
Once you have done that type in


./sc_serv
Now use your servers IP address and the details you entered in the config to login to winamp (Password and port)!

Enjoy

Better way:

wget
http://www.shoutcast.com/downloads/sc1-9-2/shoutcast-1-9-2-linux-glibc6.tar.gz

tar -zxvf shoutcast-1-9-2-linux-glibc6.tar.gz

rm -rf shoutcast-1-9-2-linux-glibc6.tar.gz

mv shoutcast-1-9-2-linux-glibc6 shoutcast

cd shoutcast

Then open up sc_serv.conf and edit: MaxUser, Password, and BasePort. Also uncomment admin pass and put a diffrent password in there. Save and upload the file.

To run shoutcast type:

./sc_serv sc_serv.conf

Also to keep the shoutcast server up and running make a cron job for about evey 5 mins:

#!/bin/bash

if [ "`/sbin/pidof /pathtoscservdir/sc_serv`" == "" ]; then
nohup /pathtoscservdir/sc_serv /pathtoscservdir/sc_serv.conf &
fi

Replace /pathtoscservdir with the path to your shoutcast folder.
