Setup Streaming Media (Radio Streaming) using SHOUTcast on Debian 6

Do you interest to make your own internet radio station? I suggest you to use SHOUTcast by following steps below. Why do I use SHOUTcast? the main reason is simple, easy and stable in work.

Before we set the server up, please prepare these things before:
1. Download sc_serv2_linux_07_31_2011.tar.gz here and sc_trans_linux_10_07_2011.tar.gz here
2. Linux server (in this tutorial i used Debian 6 x64, maybe something problem with x64. I'll post the solution later)



Server configuration steps:
1. Extract sc_serv2_linux_07_31_2011.tar.gz and sc_trans_linux_10_07_2011.tar.gz in same directory with this command:

$ tar xzf sc_serv2_linux_07_31_2011.tar.gz; tar xzf sc_trans_linux_10_07_2011.tar.gz

There are some files and folders like this:

calendar
changes.txt
config_builder
control
docs
logs
music
playlists
readme.txt
sc_serv
sc_serv2_linux_07_31_2011.tar.gz

sc_trans_dj.conf
sc_trans_linux_x64_10_07_2011.tar.gz
sc_trans_playlist.conf

2. Change the sc_serv_basic.conf to configure, by command:

$ nano sc_serv_basic.conf

3. Change Password and Admin Password. Password for broadcast password, and Admin Password for admin login under web. You will find this line:

password=testing  

adminpassword=changeme 

4. Edit sc_trans_basic.conf:

$ nano sc_trans_basic.conf

5. Change IP and Port on this line:

serverip_1=127.0.0.1  

serverport_1=8000 

6. Final step, make it run by type this command:

$ ./sc_serv  sc_serv_basic.conf
