Lightbulb Installation of shoutcast server.

Installation of shoutcast server.

What is shoutcast?

SHOUTcast is Nullsoft's Free Winamp-based distributed streaming audio system. Thousands of broadcasters around the world are waiting for you to tune in and listen. With SHOUTcast you can start your own radio station and stream music and live shows.

How do we install shoutcast?
Generally you dont want to run shoutcast as root as that can be an issue, so create a shoutcast user:


1.) Establish SSH connection as root user.
2.) adduser shoutcast
3.) passwd shoutcast

Now drop down current SSH connection and re-connect as the new shoutcast user.

Installing shoutcast

Lets grab shoutcast from nullsoft:

1) wget http://www.shoutcast.com/downloads/s...-glibc6.tar.gz

Lets extract shoutcast:
2) tar -zxvf shoutcast-1-9-2-linux-glibc6.tar.gz

Lets tidy up the directory:
3) rm -rf shoutcast-1-9-2-linux-glibc6.tar.gz
mv shoutcast-1-9-2-linux-glibc6 shoutcast
cd shoutcast

Shoutcast has now been installed!


How to configure shoutcast?

Now we need to edit the configuration file.

pico sc_serv.conf
or you can use vi which I prefer, a bit more advanced to use.
vi sc_serv.conf

Ok lets set some important configureation options. Change these settings in the file:

MaxUsers=XX - Maximum number of users
Password=XX -MUST BE SET! we will need this for the Winamp Shoutcast Console
PortBase=8080 (port that shoutcast stream will use, default is 8080)
uncomment Admin Password and set an admin password.

Now at this point you can go threw the settings and change them to what you want or you can save and start shoutcast and it will work perfectly.

to save crtl+x (if using pico) or :wq if using vi


Last step

1. Login to your /whm
2. Go to: ConfigServer Security&Firewall
3. Click on: Firewall Configuration
4. Find Row: "TCP_IN = "
4a. Add this: on the end of the row: ",8080"
4b. Go to the end cick on "Change"


How do i start shoutcast?
./sc_serv sc_serv.conf
