How to install shoutcast server in CentOS5 VPS?
SHOUTcast is Nullsoft’s Free Winamp-based distributed streaming audio system. Thousands of broadcasters around the world are waiting for you to tune in and listen.
How do we install shoutcast?
Generally you dont want to run shoutcast as root as that can be really bad. so we create a shoutcast user:
- Login to root
- adduser shoutcast
- passwd shoutcast
Now it will ask for a new password set this and remember it.
Now login as the new shoutcast user.
Installing shoutcast:
Lets grab shoutcast from nullsoft:
wget http://yp.shoutcast.com/downloads/sc1-9-8/sc_serv_1.9.8_Linux.tar.gz
Lets extract shoutcast:
tar -zxvf sc_serv_1.9.8_Linux.tar.gz
Lets tidy up the directory:
rm -rf shoutcast-1-9-2-linux-glibc6.tar.gz
mv shoutcast-1-9-2-linux-glibc6 shoutcast
cd shoutcast
How to configure shoutcast?
your going to want to edit the shoutcast configuration.
pico sc_serv.conf
ornano sc_serv.conf
Ok lets set some important configureation options. Change these settings in the file:
MaxUser
Password
PortBase
uncomment AdminPassword and set an admin password.
Now at this point you can go threw the settings and change them to what you want or you can save and start shoutcast and it will work perfectly. To save crtl+x

How many accounts can you install in one vps ?

You can install as many as you can as long you have enough bandwidth to serve and lastly you have enough memory on your VPS to use.
