I have a mess of hacks installed in my site. With no problems of user Register.
- I'll take a look @ logs and see what I can find on my server.

Thank you for being understandig and not getting upset over my post. So far I have been getting nothing but resistance.

Thats understandable.
Not many out there like to admit they are in error.

I only get this error that I know of.

hi Zachariah.. i have a lil problem to solve with shoutcast... mu host currently don't let me to change chmod to scast_home.xml. I can set 'em to 666 only, and this would be enough but my server still appears to be down.. is possibile for you to let the product to use at least 666 instead of 777?

Hoping this is the real problem i have

just fyi, my shoutcast station is currently on air and a local test on http://localhost:8000/index.html says that all works good..

i attach a sshoot of my admincp, but i think i'm doin' right (i'v tryied to put http://my_IP and http://my_IP: port too)


[edit] just worked on it:
i attach a .pls file too (renamed to .txt to attach here).. you can hear my winamp playing so i suppose my should be able to shoutcast on my vB

i hope you'll understand where's my problem

How is the shoutcast server set up ?
- Installed on the same server as the webhost
- installed to remote server

There are a few web hosts that do not allow external request to other sites unless it is on port 80. Do you know if your host blocks access to probe other IP's on ports other than port 80 ?

Many hosts will give you a port you can use. You can take that port and re-setup the shoutcast server IP's.

Whats the IP and port of the server I can test if the script will reach it. (pm if you need it to be PRIV. )

Ok this is where I am lost DO we have to join shoutcast and get passwords and IP to there server???? This is not a problem with your hack more than a user error<< and Im sorry for this!!! (Rookie)<
I setup this up in admincp as follows

Server name My site
Server Ip My IP<
Server port 8000( and Yes I jsut know e mail my host to see if there was a problem)
server password???Dont understand(main problem) do we have to join shoutcast is this where this comes in to play?)
The rest I left at default!!

Once again thanks for the reply its not your hack its me<<

Sincerely,
MarkAnthony!!
