hey

here is how to download centovacast v3 beta

System Requirements at a Glance

The requirements for Centova Cast v3 are as follows:

Operating system: RHEL/CentOS 4/5, Debian Stable
Database server: MySQL v4.1+, v5.0, or v5.1
Scheduled tasks: a working cron daemon
Package management: a working yum (RHEL/CentOS) or apt (Debian) installation
Quick Installation

This section assumes you are using a fresh CentOS/RHEL/Debian server with no other control panels installed. If a web hosting control panel (CPanel, Plesk, etc.) is installed on your server, see the Custom Installation section below.

To quickly get up and running with Centova Cast, follow these three easy steps:

    First, download the Centova Cast installation script and make it executable:

    wget -O install.sh install.centova.com/LICENSEKEY
    chmod a+x ./install.sh

    Replace LICENSEKEY above with your actual Centova Cast v3 license key from your client area.
    Run the installation script to install Centova Cast, ShoutCast DNAS v2, and sc_trans v2:

    ./install.sh --shoutcast-all --channel=unstable

    Prefer IceCast? Use this to install IceCast + ices-cc instead:

    ./install.sh --icecast-all --channel=unstable

    Centova Cast will automatically download and install itself and everything you need to get up and running at this point.
    When the installer completes, it will ask you to visit an URL in your web browser to punch in your administrator password and MySQL connection information.

At this point Centova Cast should inform you that the installation was successful, and will direct you to the Centova Cast login page where you can begin using Centova Cast.
Custom Installation

If you want to use custom installation options, or if you have other components on the server that you don't want disrupted by apt/yum (which is a concern if your server is also running other control panels like CPanel, Plesk, etc.), you can perform the installation manually.

First, ensure that you have installed all of the prerequisite software that Centova Cast requires. The packages that Centova Cast normally requires are:

On Debian: mysql-server findutils wget tar gzip unzip sed grep rsync build-essential debianutils icecast2
On CentOS: mysql-server findutils wget tar gzip unzip sed grep gawk rsync gcc gcc-c++ make which

On servers which also run a web hosting control panel, it's typically safe to use yum or apt to install all of these packages except mysql-server. Most control panels provide their own mysql-server package and installing another one will almost certainly cause problems.

Next, decide what type of an installation you're doing:

Full Installation
    This includes the Centova Cast web interface. If this is your first Centova Cast v3 installation, then you want this installation type.
Linux Control Daemon Installation
    This does NOT include the Centova Cast web interface, and is intended for use when you want to add an additional hosting server to an existing Centova Cast installation. During installation you will need to provide the information for your existing Centova Cast web interface server.
Windows Control Daemon Installation
    This does NOT include the Centova Cast web interface, and is intended for use when you want to add a Windows Media Services hosting server to an existing Centova Cast installation. During installation you will need to provide the information for your existing Centova Cast web interface server.

Instructions for each of these installation types are provided in the sections below.

Full Installation

A full installation includes the entire Centova Cast package, including the Centova Cast web interface. If this is your first Centova Cast v3 installation, then you want this installation type.

    To begin your full installation of Centova Cast, download the Centova Cast installation script and make it executable:

    wget -O install.sh install.centova.com/LICENSEKEY
    chmod a+x ./install.sh

    Replace LICENSEKEY above with your actual Centova Cast v3 license key from your client area.
    Next, decide which streaming server/source software you want Centova Cast to install for you. As of the time of this writing, Centova Cast supports the following:
        ShoutCast DNAS v2: add –shoutcast2 to the installer commandline
        ShoutCast DNAS v1: add –shoutcast1 to the installer commandline
        IceCast: add –icecast to the installer commandline
        ices-cc: add –icescc to the installer commandline
        sctrans v2: add –sctrans2 to the installer commandline

    Run the install.sh script as follows, substituting <options> with any (or all) of the above parameters:

    ./install.sh --channel=unstable <options>

    For example, to install ShoutCast DNAS v2 with sc_trans v2, you might use:

    ./install.sh --channel=unstable --shoutcast2 --sctrans2

    The installation should complete without error and ask you to visit http://your-ip:2199/ to complete the installation. Open your browser and enter the URL provided by the installer.
    The web interface should prompt you to choose an admin password and enter the connection information for your MySQL database. Do so.

At this point Centova Cast should inform you that the installation was successful, and will direct you to the Centova Cast login page where you can begin using Centova Cast.
Linux Control Daemon Installation

A Linux control daemon installation provides only the portion of Centova Cast required to use the server to host ShoutCast and IceCast streams. You must also have a separate server running the Centova Cast web interface. (See section 1.3 for details.)
System Requirements

The separation of the control daemon from the web interface is explicitly intended to reduce the amount of system resources required on stream hosting servers. The control daemon is tiny – it requires only about 4MB of memory on your stream hosting server, and uses negligible CPU resources.

The control daemon can be installed on any RHEL/CentOS 4/5 or Debian Stable Linux server.
Installing the Daemon

    To begin your control daemon installation, download the Centova Cast installation script and make it executable:

    wget -O install.sh install.centova.com/LICENSEKEY\\ chmod a+x ./install.sh

    Replace LICENSEKEY above with your actual Centova Cast v3 license key from your client area.
    Next, decide which streaming server/source software you want Centova Cast to install for you. As of the time of this writing, Centova Cast supports the following:
        ShoutCast DNAS v2: add –shoutcast2 to the installer commandline
        ShoutCast DNAS v1: add –shoutcast1 to the installer commandline
        IceCast: add –icecast to the installer commandline
        ices-cc: add –icescc to the installer commandline
        sctrans v2: add –sctrans2 to the installer commandline

    Make sure you know the IP address and admin password for your Centova Cast web interface.
    Run the install.sh script as follows, substituting <ip> with the IP address for the Centova Cast web interface, <password> with your Centova Cast admin password, and <options> with any (or all) of the above parameters:

    ./install.sh control <ip> <password> --channel=unstable <options>

    For example, if the IP address for your Centova Cast web interface is 10.2.3.4, your password is “secret”, and you want to install ShoutCast DNAS v2 with sc_trans v2, you might use:

    ./install.sh control 10.2.3.4 secret --channel=unstable --shoutcast2 --sctrans2

    This will install Centova Cast's control daemon, along with any server/source software you requested, and automatically configure your Centova Cast web interface to work with this new server.
    If you want to install Centova Cast's FTP server (to allow clients to upload media to this server via FTP), run:

    /usr/local/centovacast/sbin/update --add ftpd

At this point, if you log in to your Centova Cast web interface, you should be able to create streams on the new server. You should also see it listed if you click the “Hosts” link on the left.
Managing the Daemon

The Linux Control Daemon is configured to automatically start at boot, and typically does not require management of any kind. If necessary, however, it can be controlled using the same LSB-compliant init scripts described in section 4.1.
Windows Control Daemon Installation

A Windows control daemon installation provides only the portion of Centova Cast required to use a Windows server to host Windows Media Services streams. You must also have a separate Linux server running the Centova Cast web interface. (See section 1.3 for details.)
System Requirements

The Windows control daemon is compatible with any edition of Windows 2003 or Windows 2008, with Windows Media Services 9 or later installed. The daemon runs as a Windows service and is very small, requiring only (approximately) 8MB of memory.
Installing the Daemon

    Before beginning the installation, ensure that Windows Media Services (WMS) is installed on your Windows 2003 or Windows 2008 server. You may need to download an update from the Microsoft web site, or insert your Windows CD, to install WMS. On some Windows editions you may need to enable WMS via Start→Control Panel→Add or Remove Programs→Add/Remove Windows Components.
    To begin your Windows control daemon installation, connect to your Windows 2003 or Windows 2008 server via RDP, launch your web browser, and download the Centova Cast Control Daemon from your client area at centova.com.
    Locate the downloaded installer .exe file and double-click on it to begin the installation.
    Follow the steps in the installation wizard to proceed through the installation process.
    At the end of the installation process, you will be prompted for your license key, the URL to Centova Cast, and the Centova Cast administrator password. Upon providing this information, the control daemon will automatically configure your Centova Cast web interface to work with this new server.

At this point, if you log in to your Centova Cast web interface, you should be able to create Windows Media Services streams on the new server. You should also see the new server listed if you click the “Hosts” link on the left.
Managing the Daemon

The Windows Control Daemon runs as a Windows service and thus has no user interface of its own. It is configured to automatically start at boot, and typically does not require management of any kind.

A management console is provided for the daemon, and can be invoked via Start→All Programs→Centova Cast Control Daemon→Centova Cast Control Daemon Manager. The console provides options including:

    Starting and stopping the service
    Changing advanced settings and security restrictions
    Configuring a list of IP addresses which are authorized to communicate with the daemon (which should be limited only to the IP address of the Centova Cast web interface server)
    Reviewing logs for the daemon
    Checking licensing status and information
