Login to Shell useing PuTTY or another product. Then type:


cd /home/yourusername/
Type:

wget
http://www.shoutcast.com/downloads/s...-glibc6.tar.gz (http://www.shoutcast.com/downloads/sc1-9-2/shoutcast-1-9-2-linux-glibc6.tar.gz) This will download shoutcast to your home directory.

Then type:


tar -zxvf shoutcast-1-9-2-linux-glibc6.tar.gz This will untar the file you just downloaded

Type:

rm -rf shoutcast-1-9-2-linux-glibc6.tar.gz This will delete the tar file you just downloaded.

Type@


mv shoutcast-1-9-2-linux-glibc6 shoutcast This will move the files you just untared to a directory called shoutcast.

Type:

cd shoutcast This will move you to the Shoutcast directory.

Then open up sc_serv.conf and edit: MaxUser, Password, and BasePort. Also uncomment admin pass (By removeing the space and the #) and put a diffrent password in there. Save and upload the file. NOTE: If your server supports it you can type:

pico sc_serv.conf To edit the file without downloading it. Then to save type Ctrl+O and hit return.

To run shoutcast type:


./sc_serv sc_serv.conf NOTE: You MUST be in the shoutcast directory.

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.

If you get a error about the port being used, edit the sc_serv.conf file to change the port.

If you need any more help please post below.

Thanks,

Tom

can you use PuTTY to block internet access to other computers on the LAN? because whenever my brother gets angry at me he uses this free program that he could use to do things with peoples internet on our network. I have seen the program PuTTY on his computers desktop when Ive snuck in. So is this that program?

PuTTY is a free Telnet/SSH program.. If the router you use supports Telnet I guess it is posible to block internet access.
