Shoucast V2 cant see me
« on: October 20, 2024, 10:34:25 PM »
Hello and greetings
I'm having a somewhat strange problem with shoutcast V2, the module is installed and working correctly, I can connect to the server and broadcast audio perfectly, I can even enter the shoutcast administration page without problems, but that's only on my network, with any computer, that's where the detail is, if I try to enter from any computer to listen with another connection, it just doesn't work.

It does not allow me to enter the shoutcast admin page, nor to listen, the system gives me the IP and port 16000, which I changed to 8000, thinking that it was an open port problem, but even so, the problem continues.

My web pages on the server work without problems, the server is a VPS that I am paying for in the United States, which is completely outside my network.

I don't understand what else I could do, I have restarted the server, reinstalled shoutcast so many times and tried many ports and I can't find the fault, the radio stations works well on my internet network, but outside of it it doesn't work.

I would appreciate any help in advance.

Whats up Harold,

I can only think of a couple of things but I couldn't steer you directly to what it is you need to change I can try to help with referencing some basics only because I don't want to completely assume your level of expertise but sounds like what I've done when things don't work or I break things, I restart from zero so I'm sure you got some basics down already but here we go...

Make sure that your ports are open on the server and software side. I usually search for all the ports necessary for CWP and the Shoutcast server. Make sure you have those series of ports open in both the VPS firewall and CWP firewall, I usually edit the CWP firewall Congif file directly and that's where I would focus. Make your firewall edits from your CWPADMIN Panel. Your VPS also has a firewall setting. make sure your cwp and shoutcast ports are open on the server firewall side also not just cwp firewall.

Have you tried VPN or accessing from a different IP address than the ones you are currently working from?
Make Sure your IP addresses your trying to access from are not blocked from your CWP Firewall, you can check the log to see if that IP has been blocked.

 Big TIP> Because shoutcast requires each audio stream to have 2 ports, the main and the one immediately after, each new stream should be created with a port configuration as follows.

Example. You have to manually select the port number, 8000 as your SHOUTcast default server. Leave the following port number,8001, open on VPS and FIREWALL and available to be used in conjunction with port 8000, skip to port 8002 when creating a new stream and so on.

Host_8000    IP    8000
Host_8002    IP    8002
Host_8004    IP    8004
ETC

*When using a VPS don't use Local Host for server settings. I changed that to the VPS IP address because of redirects(something might be affecting but not sure but food for thought, I would focus on opening port config on the VPS firewall settings for your VPS which are on the server level, then open up same ports on CWP firewall/software level)

ADMIN PANEL>CWP > SETTINGS>SharedIP>SERVER IP not Localhost
Check Admin Panel>serversettings>Change Hostname. I would recommend having all that resolving OK including rDNS/PTR which is a setting yo have to configure on the Server VPS setting side.

good luck, I have come across your issue somewhat during my configuring of my Website/Shoutcast server 

Check out my guide from SSl stream configuration if you looking to stream over browsers and other platforms.

    Hi SHOUTcast Gurú and thanks for reply.

    Dont worry, any help will be fine at this level, and yes, i not a Guru, but i have some level of expertise

    • Ports
    All necesary ports for shoutcast are open, in the CWP side, and to the server firewall side, been doble check that.

    • VPN or accessing from a different IP address
    Yes, im try even on another device, smartphone, PC, on my work network, all the cache was erased on a device that previously the shoutcast worked, and surprice, not working.  But if the divice is again in the same network, YES, is working the shoutcast and i can listen to.

    • 8000 as your SHOUTcast default server. Leave the following port number,8001
    just have one radio on the server, on the 8000 port, all the others ports are free.

    • When using a VPS don't use Local Host
    yes, i using a static IP just for the shoutcast service.

    • I would recommend having all that resolving OK including rDNS/PTR

    Now that you mention that, got this error on the rDNS/PTR,

    "rDNS/PTR =domain" FAILED (check sender), could that be my problem ?.

    ¿ but how can i fix it?, already create all the dns config on my domain registar panel.


I appreciate your time in answering me and seriously, any help would be welcome, this is driving me crazy.

best regards to you
