    Hi Folks, I just did some updates on my Ubuntu 10.4 server I've broken Airtime 2.1.3.
    This is a production box so serious help needed please.
    I've looked at the logs but can't spot the problem.

    Monit says   - airtime-playout PID changed

    Pypo and Liquidsoap logs attached.

    Thanks

    Looks like Liquidsoap doesn't want to start.

    First try

    sudo service airtime-playout restart.

    Then wait a few seconds and run airtime-check-system again.

    If that doesn't fix it, please run

    sudo -u pypo /usr/lib/airtime/pypo/bin/airtime-liquidsoap

    and post the output.

    Any other thoughts on this Martin or anyone else? Sorry for pestering but I really need to get this going again. I'm contemplating a fresh install but afraid that might make things worse.

    Thanks in advance

    The thing that confuses me is the following line:

    "2012/09/05 16:50:47 [clock.wallclock_main:2] Error when starting dummy: Failure("port 9500 already taken")! "


    Liquidsoap refuses to start because of this. It appears something else (I had assumed another instance of Liquidsoap) is taking that port. Are you running any custom changes to ls_script.liq?

    Also, can you post the output of

    sudo netstat -tlnp

    Also, this could just be an OS bug, and a system restart could free up that port (but don't do this until last resort :)

    Solved.

    Port 9500 is our master source port. Having this set worked fine up until I updated some package s on our system so I didn't think to reset it. I removed 9500 from our stream settings and - boom, all's working again.

    I had also opened some port on our firewall and updated the router firmware, but that surely doesn't affect liquidsoap. The other thing I did was to updated our icecast config to listen to for remote connections on various ports including - 9500, but perhaps I'm misunderstanding the icecast config somewhere.

    Thanks for the help Martin.
    best
