Can't access Icecast2 Server

[cjsnow1]

Hi. I've been a faithful Mint user for about 2 years now.

My problem is when I try to set up a Streaming Icecast Server I run into a snag. I can't seem to run it. I go into Terminal

Code: Select all

light@light-yagami ~ $ sudo /etc/init.d/icecast2 start
[sudo] password for light: 
Starting icecast2: Starting icecast2
Detaching from the console
icecast2.
light@light-yagami ~ $ Server startup failed. Exiting

It started fine 2 days ago and my only other problem was that I couldn't access it when I typed

Code: Select all

My IP:8000

into Chrome or Firefox. Would changing the port do anything?

Please help.

EDIT: Just tried it with shoutcast server by following this TUT:http://iwtf.net/2010/01/04/setting-up-a ... st-server/ & got a 404 Error when I tried to go here:

Code: Select all

MyIP:8000

.
I've no idea what to do.

EDIT: I've got the Server up & running but when I try to compile ices0.4 I get this:

Code: Select all

checking for shout-config... no
configure: error: Could not find a usable libshout

so I try to install libshout and get this:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install libshout3-dev

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  libshout3-dev: Depends: libspeex-dev but it is not going to be installed
E: Broken packages

so I try to get libspeex-dev and run into another wall here:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install libspeex-dev

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  libspeex-dev: Depends: libspeex1 (= 1.2~rc1-1ubuntu1) but 1.2~rc1-1xbmc1 is to be installed
E: Broken packages

I tried to go into Synaptic and remove the stupid libspeex-1xbmc1 package but when I do it wants me to remove a @$$ load of Audio/Visual programs some of which I don't want to remove.

What do I do now?

The most easiest way would be to install icecast2 via the standard debian/ubuntu repos, which will resolve all required dependencies and also create a seperate user for the server

Code: Select all

aptitude install icecast2

Afterwards you just have to edit /etc/icecast2/icecast.xml to your needs and start the server. By default the server will listen on port 8000.

Ices2 is also in the repos

Code: Select all

aptitude install ices2

The versions mentioned in your tutorial seem to be quite old, I'm not sure if dependencies can be resolved without trouble on your system.

Code: Select all

aptitude install icecast2

When I do that it asks me to remove 62 packages some of which are python related which I'm pretty sure I need.

Same thing when I try

Code: Select all

aptitude install ices2

What do I do?

This is the terminal output:

I don't want to remove Wesnoth (Haven't played it but will in the future.)

What to do?
