Perfect Solution For A Shoutcast Provider
Jul 2, 2008
If you want to sell shoutcast accounts what would you go for?
For example,
You want to create a lot of accounts on one server.
100 listener accounts at 128kbps
50 listener accounts at 128kbps
Hosted shoutcast accounts either with whmsonic or cast control
The hosted accounts would have 1gig of webspace
Not sure how much bandwidth each account would need?
Obviously a good connection and server specs
Everyone has different advice it's confusing for a newbie
I can't decide on a server and i want to get setup soon.
Plus i am kind of on a budget.

I am sure most have seen the perfect server series on howtoforge. It clearly states the aim is to build an ISP like web server. I am trying to build a server to host about 20 domains that the company i work for own. We are currently hosting these elsewhere.
Do i need to install quota, bind, postfix, saslauthd, Dovecot and Ispconfig? This is what we want to do: host our domains with the option to create email address for each domain if we want to.
Also we will need 2 of the domains to have SSL cert applied. For that we will be using virtual ips as each ssl cert needs to be applied to one ip address. We have 2 network cards in the server but i have tries ubuntu 8.04 and now centos 5.3 and each time i am not able to connect to the server remotely. Now that i have unplugged one of the cables, i am able to connect to the server remotely.
As mentioned above i have installed Centos 5.3 i386.

I'm in the process of trying to document a process for setting up any new LAMP servers in our hosting environment and I was wondering if anyone had any input on software and best practices that they use in their environment and why. I.E.
PHP setup
Apache setup
Preferred Linux Distro
FTP program used
User creation guidelines
Default php.ini settings
Default site settings
etc.

I had asked for some help awhile ago and recieved some great advice. Unfortunately, the company I work for decided not to move at that time (between deciding to give the host more chance and also becuase we were all dreading another swich over. However, we are now ready to move.
We are currently on shared hosting and I belive VPS is the best option for us right niw (in this stage of our growth).
What I need is one that is fully managed and then some. I need someone that will provide the same type of support you get with shared hosting - meaning I can even come to them when suddenly we have an e-mail issue for example. And for things tht they don't do, at least have the patience to point me in the right direction, help me know what I need to do. I can handle the admin functions of a shared hosting site... but am leery of doing to much more without guidence...
Another thing I am looking for is someone that we can grow with seemlessly - even if it ends up resulting in going to a fully manged deciated server. With any growth, I do want want downtime or having to change DNS (that always causes us problems). I want someone we ca be with for years, allows us to grow, and is reliable/dependable. I really hate switching hosts!
What we need/our set-up/about us:
I would need at least 10 GB hard drive (SCSI HDDS) to begin with.
We currently have two seperate SMF forums (both private, internal with few users) operating on their own MySQL installations. We will probably add more forums (SMF) in the future - each with their own MySQL databases.
We have a Wordpress blog
We use Coppermine Album (it is also tied into the blog so that thumbnails of photos load into the blog sidebar)
For Transfer/bandwidth - I am not sure. I will guess at least 50G. We currently canlt send a lot of our e-mail out of our server due to e-mail limitations so I don't know exactly how much we will use.
On transfer - the majority of it is e-mail, followed by ftp usage.
I really do need someone who can handle and understand our high volumne of e-mail and will help make sure we have no issues with it. That is actually the lifeblood of our business. We recieve data from our clients each day via e-mail, and then send them back customized reports (each day) based on their data. This means we get a lot of e-mail in, and even more going out. When our e-mail shuts down - we shut down.
Our current hosting uses Cpanel and I do like it (and am used to it), however would consider a different control panel if it has the same basic features of Cpanel and is easy to use. However, I really like the fact that moving a Cpanel sitre to another one is very easy (unless that doesn't work when going from shared to VPS)
We will not be doing any reselling of hosting or anything like that - so i don't need anything geared that way. We actually will probably only have the one site, with a few other domains pointed to that. However, we may eventual create additional sites (with their own name) just for the forums.
I have seen about 10 companies listed in other threads that look really good, but not sure which I want... becuase I am hoping I can stay with who ever I pick for the next 10 years and more...
Some of the ones I am interested in are:
Servint
zone.net
powervps

Lets say you're building your 'perfect' rack or cabinet, you've got a single network and power drop from your provider, 20 x mixed 1 and 2u boxes (two interfaces per box), 1u switch and require remote reboot across them all. No other servers to go in the rack at a later date.
What are you gonna buy if budget wasn't an issue? rack/cab/pdu/cbl management/etc/etc.
Basically it's your geek pr0n rack/cab. I'll post mine once I've had a further think.

I would like to build two servers. I have a budget of $15,000 to build one (1) database and one (1) web server. These servers would have to be very very powerful and have the best hardware money can buy but remain within the budget.

I'd like your feedback on what you would consider being the perfect shared hosting account.
What features would be valuable for you, which wouldn’t?
Any features not listed?
If you had to put together the perfect feature set for a shared hosting account, how would you do it?

I bought a VPS a few days ago and I'm trying to run a SHOUTcast on it.
The VPS is Linux, CentOs to be more specific.
I've installed Shoutcast and it's running, It's working with WinAmp as the website I'm running it on tells me what song is currently playing, how many listeners there are, etc.
It also says:
Server Status: Server is currently up and public.

I have a windows server 2003 running shoutcast.
I have two questions:
1.) Is there a way to send signals via Windows? I need a way to have shoutcast reload it's configuration file without kicking the users. Normally, on *nix, you could just send the kill -s SIGHUP command and it'd do it. But I can't figure out a way to do this on windows.
If this isn't possible, does anyone know if you can run shoutcast RELIABLY under cygwin?
2.) The LogFormat that shoutcast outputs looks like this:
Code:
c-ip c-dns date time cs-uri-stem c-status cs(User-Agent) sc-bytes x-duration avgbandwidth
the problem is that cs-uri-stem doesn't include cs-method ("GET") so AWStats fails with the import of the log. Is there a way to manually add this into the way AWStats parses it?
If not, is there a special way to parse shoutcast w3c logs in AWStats?

weve had a box at fdc for over a year. everything was fine until about half that time ago and consistently has gotten worse over time. We've always been really good at tracking down problems til now.
traceroute and ping results are usually pretty normal, the machine is not overloaded however our server can barely handle any amount of listeners anymore, in fact it appears as tho the number of listeners has no effect on the server skipping and buffering every few minutes.
we've changed the sources its been fed from
checked the connection from multiple locations
ping and trace results are always decent or shouldnt warrant skipping with any number listeners. in a year weve gone from consistently hosting 100+ to barely getting over 20 and often less lately. its a huge bummer.

First one i tried was Implux.net and after a year or so started getting a lot of skipping/buffering problems with the streams.
I'm now with Serverroom.us but cannot stand the software they use CentovaCast or at least don't like the setup they use.

Me and a few friends of mine are planing on creating a Shoutcast online radio station and honestly I'm new to how Shoutcast servers work and witch host would be best for me and my friends. I have a few questions on all this.
Am I suck using Winamp to play our music over the server? Or are there other more professional tools to use?
This server will be used among a few friends of mine. So if no one us broadcasting will the server play a song play list till some one starts broadcasting?
Shoutcast servers only Stream music to Winamp players only?
Anyone here got any experience with “rackedhosting.com” Shoutcast service?

i upgraded my server a few month back to a better one.
SINGLE XEON QUAD CORE 3210 / 1066FSB / 8MB CACHE
4GB DDR2
x2 500GB SATA 7200RPM (RAID-1)
50 Mbps Burst Speed
for what ever reason when i try to tune in to my radio it takes more than 10 seconds for the radio to start playing (specially on my port 8000). while other stations (competition) start right away.
my question is does it matter if i have my dns like this: [url]:8000 instead of [url]:8000 or do i have to look for something else not well configure?

Well seeing as my partner is in charge of services, n he is away, i got stuck with learning it. N i was just testing shoutcast n how to install it.
But seeing i was only testing i didn't care what IP it was on, n i stuck it on the main ip which i kinda don't want it there anymore?
So how do i remove/uninstall shoutcast?

I've only tried whmsonic shoutcast admin pro to create sc accounts
I used whm to create cpanel hosting accounts before so had an idea.
With whmsonic admin pro i was a bit lost, creating cpanel hosting
accounts so i could ad those features to shoutcst accounts
But from what i've read, cast control is more straight to the point
You don't need to be creatings cpanel accounts first etc etc.
Is there others that any of you have on your servers for setting
up shoutcast accounts with hosting for uploading audio files ect
Autodj and so on.

i have a serious problems with my shoutcast accounts the last 2 months...i create in my ports 8002,8004,8006,8008,8010,8012 some shoutcast accounts via cast control...every 3-4 hours some of my accounts is crashing....i can't understand why....so every 3 hours i am going to cast control panel to start again the shoutcast server of the account which which crashed....i don 't know what to do any more...my hands up...
i found these script which i can use via cron job to check if each shoutcast server is up
#!/bin/bash
dte=`date +%d%b%Y`
cd /where/ever/you/run/stuff/
##-->> Check to see if sc_serv is running <<--##
ps -ef|grep -v grep|grep sc_serv >sc_serv_ok
if [ -s sc_serv_ok ]
then
##-->> Everything looks good, remove the file and exit <<--##
rm -f sc_serv_ok
exit 0
else
##-->> Log the error <<--##
echo "Possible abend of sc_serv" > sc_serv_prob_log.$dte
##-->> Email the log <<--##
mail -s "sc_trans" your-email@domain-name.com <sc_serv_prob_log.$dte
##-->> Restart sc_serv <<--##
cd /path/to/shoutcast/
./sc_serv
the problem is that i can't found the conf file for each account...where exactly CAST CONTROL creates it..i have the free version of cast sontrol 1.4...
