The −d option sets the directory for log files and templates.
Below is the list of command−line options:
−c [filename]
Parse as a configuration file. Please note that any command line
parameters you supply after this override whatever is in file. Also note that
icecast.conf in the current directory is already parsed when you specify
this file, so anything in icecast.conf not overridden by the new configuration
file will be used by the server.
−P [port]
This is the port used for all client, source, and admin connections. It's set
to 8000 by default.
−m [max clients]
Allow this number of client connections. When this number is reached, all
client connections will be refused with 'HTTP/1.0 504 Server Full'
−p [encoder password]
This sets the password that the encoder must use to be allowed to stream
to the server. Note that if you have compiled the server with crypt()
support, this argument must be an encrypted string.
−b
This will send the icecast server into the background (i.e daemon process).
To use the admin commands now, you have to connect to the server as an
admin, using some sort of telnet client.
−d [directory]
Make all log files created by icecast, and all templates that icecast looks
for be relative to this directory.
So, thats the server started, but you now need to connect an MP3 source to the server.
You can choose from two applications which deliver MP3 data to the server, Shout and LiveIce.
