    Here is my icecast.xml file with the important parts about paths

    paths>
                    <!-- basedir is only used if chroot is enabled -->
            <basedir>/usr/share/icecast2</basedir>
            <!-- Note that if <chroot> is turned on below, these paths must both
                 be relative to the new root, not the original root -->
            <logdir>/var2/log/icecast2</logdir>
            <webroot>/usr/share/icecast2/web</webroot>
            <adminroot>/usr/share/icecast2/admin</adminroot>
            <!-- <pidfile>/usr/share/icecast2/icecast.pid</pidfile> -->

            <!-- Aliases: treat requests for 'source' path as being for 'dest' path
                 May be made specific to a port or bound address using the "port"
                 and "bind-address" attributes.
              -->
            <!--
            <alias source="/foo" destination="/bar"/>
              -->
            <!-- Aliases: can also be used for simple redirections as well,
                 this example will redirect all requests for http://server:port/ to
                 the status page
              -->
            <alias source="/" destination="/status.xsl"/>
        </paths>

        <logging>
            <accesslog>access.log</accesslog>
            <errorlog>error.log</errorlog>
            <!-- <playlistlog>playlist.log</playlistlog> -->
            <loglevel>3</loglevel> <!-- 4 Debug, 3 Info, 2 Warn, 1 Error -->
            <logsize>10000</logsize> <!-- Max size of a logfile -->
            <!-- If logarchive is enabled (1), then when logsize is reached
                 the logfile will be moved to [error|access|playlist].log.DATESTAMP,
                 otherwise it will be moved to [error|access|playlist].log.old.
                 Default is non-archive mode (i.e. overwrite)
            -->
            <!-- <logarchive>1</logarchive> -->
        </logging>

        <security>
            <chroot>1</chroot>

    However, when I start it as root, it errors as follows:

    Changed root successfully to "/usr/share/icecast2".
    Changed groupid to 118.
    Changed supplementary groups based on user: icecast2.
    Changed userid to 109.
    FATAL: could not open error logging (/var2/log/icecast2/error.log): No such file or directory
    FATAL: could not open access logging (/var2/log/icecast2/access.log): No such file or directory
    FATAL: Could not start logging

    Any suggestions?

    the normal log file is /var/log/icecast2/error.log and /var/log/icecast2/access.log

    if you need to use other log files then you need to create them

    please read
