Title: Log does not exist
Post by: gresio64 on September 12, 2012, 06:27:56 am

Hi,

I wanted to ask if anyone could help me, we are doing a migration of Centova on a new server, but we have this error that appears in the old and new server, can anyone help me?

Log does not exist; this often (although not always) indicates a permissions/ownership error.  Consult the Centova Cast knowledge base

We have followed this guide but to no avail

Thanks

Hi gresio64,

I have the same issue last time that centovacast cannot start the stream and it display the error "log file does not exist",  normally centovacast cannot creat a log file if it cannot successfully run the stream so there must be something wrong with starting the stream.

SOLUTION:
login to your server as root via SSH and get the correct path of the stream configuration file and run it directly on the prompt  like  icecast -c /home/centovacast/vhost/[account]/etc/server.conf

check the output if it display and error and correct the error, maybe something wrong with the configuration file.

hope that help,
