Hi, I have tried.

How can we fix this?.

killall sc_serv

and then start again

That error means an application has already binded to that specific port, probably another instance of Shoutcast. To check if the port 8000 actually is in use, you can use the netstat command, like this:

ninjah@snow:shoutcast-1-9-2-linux-glibc6$ netstat -ant | grep 8000
tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:8000 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN
ninjah@snow:shoutcast-1-9-2-linux-glibc6$

As you can see, something is using the port 8000. Lets check and see if another Shoutcast process is already running.

ninjah@snow:shoutcast-1-9-2-linux-glibc6$ ps aux | grep sc_serv
ninjah 13368 0.0 0.3 31464 1696 pts/1 S 16:39 0:00 ./sc_serv
ninjah@snow:shoutcast-1-9-2-linux-glibc6$

Looks like there is, and for us to be able to bind to port 8000, we need to kill this rouge Shoutcast server. To do that, we take the PID listed in the ps aux command (13368) and use the kill command to kill it.

ninjah@snow:shoutcast-1-9-2-linux-glibc6$ kill -9 13368
ninjah@snow:shoutcast-1-9-2-linux-glibc6$ ps aux | grep sc_serv
ninjah@snow:shoutcast-1-9-2-linux-glibc6$ netstat -ant | grep 8000
ninjah@snow:shoutcast-1-9-2-linux-glibc6$

Looks like everything is ok, and you should be able to start a new Shoutcast server.

Oops, looks like null beat me to it as I was writing the post.
