Boot-script to run Shoutcast-server 1.9.8 on Ubuntu Linux 14.04.1

[Kevin1234]

Hello,

I try to run Shoutcast-server 1.9.8 to run on Ubuntu Linux 14.04.1 (64bit) with Webmin v1.710. I want to setup an boot-script. The boot-script I have is:


# Shoutcast
#
# Shoutcast

description "Shoutcast"

start on runlevel [2345]
#stop on runlevel [!2345]

pre-start script
start on runlevel [2345]

stop on runlevel [!2345]

end script

exec /home/shoutcast/sc_serv /home/shoutcast/sc_serv.conf

But when I try to start Shoutcast i get the message:

Starting service Shoutcast ..

initctl: Job failed to start

.. failed!


I hope someone can help me to solve my problem.


Thanks,
Kevin

don't use 1.x and instead try doing it with the 2.x DNAS.

I did install SHOUTcast Server v2.4.2.167/posix(linux x64), as you suggested. It's running. But I don't see a SHOUTcast boot-script in the Bootup and Shutdown-list. And the script shown in my first post doesn't work. When setting up the server I used the command sudo sh setup.sh. And then had the use my browser to setup the rest. But I don't know if the server will reboot without the boot-script. I didn't figure that out, yet. I also didn't figure out yet how to insert the introfile for stream_1. I guess the answers can be found in the manual.

i didn't say it has such a script - i was saying to implement what you want with the 2.x DNAS instead of the 1.x DNAS.

You didn't see that, that's true.

Her you will find a example http://mobiarch.wordpress.com/2014/0...-ubuntu-14-04/

I'm not familiar with ubuntu but it seems for debian is that the same way. I'm running the DNAS v2 as deamon with this init.d script:

PHP Code:

#! /bin/sh
### BEGIN INIT INFO
# Provides:          sc_serv
# Required-Start:    $remote_fs $syslog
# Required-Stop:     $remote_fs $syslog
# Default-Start:     2 3 4 5
# Default-Stop:      0 1 6
# Short-Description: startscript sc_serv
# Description:       startscript for sc_serv (DNASv2)
### END INIT INFO

# Author: your_name <your_name@your-host.tld>

HOME="/home/shoutcast"
USER="shoutcast"
DESC="shoutcast stream"
NAME="sc_serv"
SCRIPTNAME="/etc/init.d/$NAME"

do_start()
{
    su $USER -c "cd $HOME; ./sc_serv daemon ./sc_serv.conf"
}

do_stop()
{
    kill -9 `cat /home/shoutcast/sc_serv_8000.pid` # 8000 = port > use here the added port from your sc_serv.conf
}

case "$1" in
start)
        echo "Starting $DESC $NAME"
        do_start
;;
stop)
        echo "Stopping $DESC $NAME"
        do_stop
;;
restart)
        echo "Stopping $DESC $NAME"
        do_stop
        echo "Starting $DESC $NAME"
        do_start
;;
*)
        echo "Usage: $SCRIPTNAME {start|stop|restart}"
esac
