.I cant get certain things working..Like the DJ's AIM..it shows no list of played songs and I was guessing it was supposed to update to show current song playing every set number of seconds..I have yet to see any of this work.

Hey Zachariah,

Yes there is a 14 day trial which you can download from here

You might also be interested in how it was done for phpBB, a link to which is here

I am using this too

[radarhunter]

i tried every single tip given in the zip folder and even what all is written in the thread but still my server is is showing down.

Please guide me on what to do......

The chances are that your hosting company are blocking the port which you need to access your server. Have you tried contacting them and asking them to open the port for outbound and inbound traffic? I had to do this with my hosting company. Tell them you need to establish a socket connection in order to read some XML data.

[radarhunter]

my hosting company is Godaddy.com

do you think they block this port ???

These are my settings on the admincp

Do i need to change sum settings lemme know please

[LJR]

yup, i'd almost guarantee they block it. Ask them to unblock the port (I had to do the same). Good luck with GoDaddy though

[radarhunter]

they are not agreeing with it

insted of that they asked me to buy a virtual dedicated server

what noobies

They said that they cannot do it at all.

So is there any other option that i have

[LJR]

Exactly what I meant with regards GoDaddy. They are complete amateurs. To be honest though, unless you have phenominal upload bandwidth, or an expected listener base of about 6 then you should consider a streaming host solution. I am with streamsolutions.co.uk - they have US and Oz based servers too. I think their plans start from about $2 per month.

However, you will still need GoDaddy to open a port from their server to your shoutcast server

I take it nobody wants to answer my question
