Shoutcast starting problem.

I honestly never have seen it say "===> Switching to root credentials"

Explain how you are logging into your server

Do you login as normal user then use the "su" command or do you use some other method such as sudo?
 
To be honest, this is my first server that I have ever had. All I was told to do was get script called ptty or something of that nature and use it. I login with the same admin user name and password as the admin account for my Direct Admin panel. As in the MAIN admin.

Sorry I havent replied any sooner. It has been a mess around the house lately and I had to side line this. I am very interested in getting this to work still.

I have done away with shoutcast directory and all that so I am ready for a fresh install.

I have talked to several people about this and they are all willing to help for a Hundred dollars or so. :D NOT today. lol I'll rent a shoutcast server first.

Yeah and I thank you for that too very much. I have had PC issues and things around the house havent been the best BUT getting back into shape now so I'll be on regularly again. I am in the -6 GMT category if that helps any. Im pretty much a free lancer when it comes to sleep. If I know around what time or roughly even I can be up with my msn on for sure. Sleep comes and goes as it pleases with me so really it's no biggie. Im a night owl anyhow. :D
 
Hans helped me out and everything is cool now. Thanks a million Hans. Soory didnt get back sooner to add thanks, dam net has been dropping on me. Anyhow, on with shouting!
 
well, here i go again. I rebooted my server logged in as the user and restarted shoutcast. Everything looked good in putty but when trying to view the shoutcast admin page, I get page can not be displayed and I cant connect to the server either.

BUT like I said, putty shows it running :confused:
 
libpthread.so.1 problem on freebsd continued..

I am also having trouble getting past this error, although Im not sure Im following the correct procedure, because I dont find any documentation on the procedure!!

uname output:
FreeBSD servername.x.com 6.3-RELEASE FreeBSD 6.3-RELEASE #0: Wed Jan 16 04:18:52 UTC 2008 [email protected]:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC i386

I downloaded the DNAS file named
sc_serv_1.9.8_FreeBSD5.tar.gz

to my xp workstation, ftp'd into the FreeBSD box,
unzipped it, untarred it with tar -xvf sc...gz.

I edited the sc_serv.conf file, only change was to lower
maximum simultaneous connections to 5.

wasnt sure how else to get started, so I issued ./sc_serv and
received the error:

/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Shared object "libpthread.so.1" not found, required by "sc_serv"

I ran /usr/libexec/locate.updatedb as root,
ran locate libpthread.so.1 and got no output back.

So, after searching the net, found the suggestion about compat5x ports,
and get the error (after issuing any make command)

Makefile:35: *** missing separator. Stop.

Line 35 of the Makefile in that dir is

.include <bsd.port.pre.mk>

and the header at the top of the Makefile says

# New ports collection makefile for: compat5x libraries
# Date created: 19 Aug 2005
# Whom: hrs, lesi
#
# $FreeBSD: ports/misc/compat5x/Makefile,v 1.16 2007/04/21 03:24:32 nork Exp

and is the default that installed with the OS.

I have a FreeBSD guru and he said he generally doesnt have
much luck with ports and compiles the packages from scratch.

He also said this has to do with multithreading, which he says
alot of people have trouble with on FreeBSD.
Is there any reason shoutcast hasnt updated the server
software in 2 versions of FreeBSD?
Perhaps FreeBSD isnt a suitable OS for shoutcast broadcasting?

my icq id is 52006768 if anyone would like to work with me to
solve I promise I'll post the answer!! or, email works too,
[email protected]

Is there an INSTALL document I missed?

Thanks,
Jay
 
Did you install the compat5x libraries?

cd /usr/ports/misc/compat5x
make install clean
 
followup on my last post

found the README.TXT, made the mistake of expecting the tar file to unzip into a subdirectory, it didnt, and unzipped into the root dir where I had enough files I didnt notice the README.TXT. Unfortunately, the README didnt contain much unix specific info.

thanks for the reply, scsi

Thanks scsi,

I have tried to install the port, get the same error on any make command,

Makefile:35: *** missing separator. Stop.

please see additional info about making the port in my initial post,

thanks,
Jay
 
Post more of the errors. I cant tell what is wrong based on that. Are your ports up to date?
 
post more errors? I already posted them all.

Ive been very detailed about cut/pasting in every error to everything I tried, did you have something specific you wanted? Since then I have also tried to rebuild the libpthread in the /usr/src/lib/libpthread by issuing the make command, and it errors out in a similar way:

Makefile:12: *** missing separator. Stop.

line 12 of the Makefile says:

.else

In answer to your question are my ports up to date, as I said earlier, they are the stock defaults which installed with the OS, which is 6.3
 
More then likely your ports need to be updated.

Run:

portsnap fetch
portsnap update

Then do:

cd /usr/ports/misc/compat5x
make install clean
