ho did i get it working,,

open commandline : killall icecast

hey RO3L
I have the same issue: server startup failed. exiting. ...without logs
how did you solve it?

open console and type killall icecast or sudo killall icecast
it should shut down and than try again

soluction error icecast2

in my case had a program running on the same server port icecast2 finalized the program and the server started normally.

Hi, I get same problem in Ubuntu 12.04. Without log file too (empty file in /var/log/icecast2)

When I try to start (#sudo /ete/init.d/icecast2 start), I always get this notification :
# Starting icecast2: Starting icecast2
# Detaching from console
# icecast2.
# Server startup failed. Existing

I use standard icecast installation, I also tried "killall icecast2" / "kill icecast", changed into another port, but still get the problem.

What should I do to fix this issue?

ps : sorry because I can't speak English well.

If you are like me, you had forgotten to change the default port from "8000" to something else.

I needed to change that, because apache2 is already running on that port.
