Hot to run a shoutcast server in a linux VPS

SHOUTcast server has the ability to administer the server itself via HTML and a simple configuration file. To obtain the latest copy of the SHOUTcast Server,

Windows users should download the server, and unzip into an appropriate folder such as "c:\Program Files\SHOUTcast". Once the

iles are extracted into the folder, create a shortcut for SC_SERV.EXE to the Desktop. Start up the SHOUTcast server by running the executable, then click on the "Edit config" menu option located at the top. This will start the default text editor, opening the configuration file for SHOUTcast server

Please follow all the directions that are written into the configuration file. Once you are done making changes, save the file, close the editor, and restart the SHOUTcast server application.

Those of you serving from Unix should download the version appropriate for your operating system, gunzip the distribution, and un-tar the archive

Use a text editor to configure the sc_serv.conf file (see below for details on configuring). It doesn't matter what user the server runs at, s

save that the user has read access to the config file, and write access for the files you define for file storage and log storage.

Wow,

And you could not add all this in one post?
