Description Gerald Cox 2008-04-22 15:46:25 UTC
Description of problem:

Web interface not accessible.  When accessing, receive a blank page.  No error
messages.  


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
icecast-2.3.1-5.fc9.x86_64

How reproducible:
Try to access admin web page


Steps to Reproduce:
1.  yum install icecast
2.  ensure icecast service started
3.  open web browser
4.  http://localhost:8000
  
Actual results:
Blank page, no messages


Expected results:
Receive icecast web interface page


Additional info:
Streaming doesn't work either.  Using default install.
Used instructions for Fedora 6 published here:
http://news.softpedia.com/news/Streaming-Audio-Using-MPD-and-Icecast-52181.shtml
Used repository RPMs, and the configuration setting changes were extremely
minor, with none apparently required for icecast, at least just to get this up
and running.  F9 Firewall and SELINUX have been disabled, so that shouldn't be
an issue.

Comment 1 Bug Zapper 2008-05-14 09:57:09 UTC
Changing version to '9' as part of upcoming Fedora 9 GA.

Comment 2 William Mount 2008-05-18 02:42:31 UTC
I've had the same problem with icecast.  Icecast is running and responding, but
according to netstat -a, it's listening on a 55000 range port number.  It would
appear that icecast isn't honoring bind address and bind port information set in
/etc/icecast.xml

Comment 3 Ian Weller 2008-05-19 02:37:04 UTC
Gerald, the reason why you are seeing a blank page at http://localhost:8000 is
because that port is actually being used for nasd. The ports conflict.

However changing the port has successful effect, as William's comment shows.

Comment 4 Lucian Langa 2008-05-28 09:46:00 UTC
Changing the port in /etc/icecast.xml has no effect.
Icecast listens on a totally random port, every time it is restarted

ps ax|grep icecast
 8642 pts/3    Sl     0:00 /usr/bin/icecast -b -c /etc/icecast.xml

netstat -npa|grep ice
tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:42219               0.0.0.0:*                  
LISTEN      8642/icecast

ps a|grep icecast
 9071 pts/3    Sl     0:00 /usr/bin/icecast -b -c /etc/icecast.xml

netstat -npa|grep ice
tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:50693               0.0.0.0:*                  
LISTEN      9071/icecast

Comment 5 Ian Weller 2008-05-28 16:48:36 UTC
I've got 3 reports of this problem, I'm going to go ahead and make this ASSIGNED

Comment 6 Jeff Moe (jebba) 2008-06-04 05:43:26 UTC
I confirm that icecast-2.3.1-5.fc9.i386.rpm binds to random ports and is  broken.

Thankfully THERE IS A NEW ICECAST!  Version 2.3.2 was released June 2, 2008. The
previous release was from 2005.

I built 2.3.2 with minimal changes to the 2.3.1 specfile and it is binding to
the correct port now.

I suggest upgrading the package.

Thanks!  :)

Comment 7 Cristian Ciupitu 2008-08-04 10:59:35 UTC
I'm having the same problem with icecast-2.3.1-5.fc9.i386.rpm.

I've used strace and I've found this (for the default config which mentions port 8000 which is unused by other processes):

  bind(4, {sa_family=AF_INET, sin_port=htons(0), sin_addr=inet_addr("0.0.0.0")}, 16) = 0

We're not the only ones with this problem - see http://icecast.imux.net/viewtopic.php?t=5407.

Yeap, good idea. The only thing that needs to be changed is to remove the curl patch since it's not needed anymore (correct me if I'm wrong).
Thanks!

this is teh ping

Comment 10 Bug Zapper 2009-06-10 00:22:00 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 9 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 9.  It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.  At that time
this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 
'version' of '9'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 9's end of life.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 9 is end of life.  If you 
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it 
against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this 
bug to the applicable version.  If you are unable to change the version, 
please add a comment here and someone will do it for you.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events.  Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here: 
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping

Comment 11 Bug Zapper 2009-07-14 16:50:47 UTC
Fedora 9 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-07-10. Fedora 9 is 
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further 
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of 
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
