Hi all, I wanted to experiment a little with icecast, so I apt-ed icecast-server and icecast-client (1.0.0).
I went to www.icecast.org, read the FAQ and gettin started and started... I set up the server with default values, (port: 8000 client, poort: 8001 encoder and poort 8002: remote admin) /etc/init.d/icecast restart works fine, it is ready, then I start shout, that works fine too, but then it is going to send data to icecast on port 8001, that doesn't seem to work. netstat shows me all packages from shout are waiting to get to port 8001. telnet localhost 8002 (remote admin) doesn't work either, and shout isn't getting very far with the mp3 it wants to send. And all of the sudden, icecast gives errors, accepts the remote connection and the client for a few secs and then starts forking hundreds of icecasts servers, draining all my RAM and swap like hell. Then icecasts stops, I have to killall them... my: /var/log/icecast.log source(/1):~$ cat /var/log/icecast.log [23/Jul/1999:18:59:47] Icecast Version 1.0.0 Starting...
