Hi,

I'm going to show you how to install Shoutcast server and start your own radio station.
You will need one of popular linux distributions Debian, CentOS or Ubuntu. This HowTo applies to all Linux distros with bash shell.

Let's cut the talk and start with the tutorial.

1. First we need to login to our VPS as root
2. Next we need to download shoutcast server
Code:

cd /tmp
wget http://download.nullsoft.com/shoutcast/tools/sc_serv_1.9.8_Linux.tar.gz

If you get error while trying to execute this command then you don't have wget command installed to your system. For Debian and Ubunutu use the following command to install it:
Code:

apt-get install wget

For CentOS
Code:

yum install wget

3. Next we need to create the folder for our shoutcast server and extract the archive
Code:

mkdir /home/shoutcast
tar -zxf sc_serv_1.9.8_Linux.tar.gz -C ./home/shoutcast

4. Navigate to the shoutcast folder and clear the config file
Code:

cd /home/shoutcast
echo > sc_serv.conf

5. Open the file sc_serv.conf
Code:

nano sc_serv.conf

Paste the following text
Code:

 MaxUser=32
 Password=changeme
 PortBase=8000
LogFile=sc_serv.log
RealTime=1
ScreenLog=1
ShowLastSongs=10
SrcIP=ANY
DestIP=ANY
Yport=80
NameLookups=0
 AdminPassword=adminpass
AutoDumpUsers=0
AutoDumpSourceTime=30
PublicServer=default
AllowRelay=Yes
AllowPublicRelay=Yes
MetaInterval=32768

You should modify these settings:
A. Change the MaxUsers to wanted value but I would not recommend a value grater that 50 , but I didn't test so if you want you can test it.
B. Set the Password to a value that you know because you need it to connect to the server in order to stream music to it.
C. Optionally you can change the port by changing the PortBase to some different port.
D. AdminPassword is the web interface password. Web interface is used for banning and kicking users from the server.

6. Start the server
Code:

screen
./sc_serv

7. Press Ctrl + A + D to exit the screen and leave the server running in background.

8. Start Winamp with nullsoft shoutcast plugin on your computer.
A. Add some songs to your playlist and press play in winamp.
B. On the shoutcast plugin window Enter your VPS address and for port enter 8000 unless you changed it in the sv_serv.conf configuration file.
C. Enter the same password that you set for the Password in the sc_serv.conf
D. Set those two checkboxes to checked.
E. Finally check Auto Connect your computer will start transmitting data to the server.
9. Go to the http://YourVPSIp:8000 and press Listen. Stream file will be downloaded to your computer double click it and you can start listening your radio station. Give that file to others or the link for that file, so they can join and listen to the music you stream.

10. Congrats your server is up and running, you have your own online radio station in 10 easy steps .

Best Regards!
