Is it possible to have more than one ShoutCast server runing on the same Linux Server? I tried to just change the port in the configuration and it still thinks the port is in use.

Did I miss something here? :eek:

Thanks.. :crazy:

Yes it is. What command are you using to start the daemon? Are you using the same binary, with multiple configuration files, or are you using multiple binaries?

Same files, I just made a copy of them to another directory on the server. Then I edited the configuration to use a different port. Perhaps ill just try another port, but I just thought I missed something.

Its default 8000, I set it to 8001. :D

Edit: I just type " ./sc_serv " to start shoutcast.

You can just make config files, add 2 to the number of the last one as each one uses 3 ports (make sure they are open on your firewall if you use on do this for each server then start it like this:

./sc_serv 80XX.conf &

where xx is the port number in the conf file :)

hope that helps ya :)

I think shoutcast uses two ports the one you specify and the one just above it. I'll have to check out on that though.

Ah, I was told its leave 2 ports above the last one, that seems to be what cast control does so i was just following along with their methods! :)
