I'm getting the same thing ... can't figure it out either. I'm running icecast as my normal user and created a directory for the logfiles in my own home directory. I've configured the /etc/icecast2/icecast.xml to write the log files to that location. |

*bump*
I'm having the same problem. If I run as root, it just dies quietly with no errors at all.

What user group are you running as? Are the directories and log
files accesible to that user?

User/group for all files in /use/share/icecast belong to the icecast
user I created. I hope that helps...I think I had similar problems
but can't remember. It works now so hopefully the config settings
can be compared.
Actually I think my problem had to with trying to use chroot. Even
after specifying relative paths it didn't work. |

Edit: Nevermind. I think the problem was twofold: if you don't use chroot, you can't use relative paths. Also, even if icecast has the perms to create the directory, it won't. So, what I needed to do was make sure all the dirs existed, had the right perms, AND were absolute paths in icecast.xml.
Thanks for all the help. Config posted below
| Code: |
<icecast>
<limits>
<clients>100</clients>
<sources>2</sources>
<threadpool>5</threadpool>
<queue-size>102400</queue-size>
<client-timeout>30</client-timeout>
<header-timeout>15</header-timeout>
<source-timeout>10</source-timeout>
</limits>

<!-- Aliases: treat requests for 'source' path as being for 'dest' path

Hope this helps others. Also, maybe someone should put a (clearer) comment about absolute paths in the default icecast.xml?
