Installing a Shoutcast Radio Server on a Linux-based Dedicated or VPS server is quite easy. In this article, we will show you a step-by-step installation and setup process. Before starting, make sure you have root access to your server via SSH. Tools like Putty can be used as SSH clients.

  1. Create a New User
    As the first step, you should create a new user. This is important for security and management.
    adduser dahinet
    passwd dahinet
    During this process, you will be asked to enter a password. After entering it, the user will be created.

  2. Switch to the New User
    Use the following command to switch to the new user:
    su - dahinet

  3. Download and Install the Shoutcast Server Files
    Download the Shoutcast server files from the internet and upload them to your server. For example:
    wget http://hostingturkiye.com.tr/dosyalar/sc_serv_1.9.8_Linux.tar.gz
    tar -zxpf sc_serv_1.9.8_Linux.tar.gz

  4. Edit the Configuration File
    Edit the Shoutcast server’s configuration file. For example:
    pico sc_serv.conf
    After editing the file, save the changes before exiting.

  5. Start the Server
    Finally, start the Shoutcast server:
    ./sc_serv

  6. Check the Broadcast
    Use your browser to visit http://ipaddress:port to check if your radio is broadcasting.

By following these steps, you can install and broadcast a Shoutcast Radio Server on a Linux-based server. For more information or help, you can check the documentation and online resources.
