404 - The file you requested could not be found

Question

My icecast2 server is running and I can see my admin. My config file is setup also with a normal mount set. My source client is liquidsoap, this is my code:

#!/usr/bin/liquidsoap
# Log dir
set("log.file.path","/var/log/liquidsoap/basic-radio.log")

jazz = playlist("/var/www/html/stream/audio/mp3/jazz")
popular = playlist.safe("/var/www/html/stream/audio/mp3/popular-music")

radio = fallback(
  [ switch(
  [
  ({ 0h-12h }, jazz),
  ({ 12h01-23h59 }, popular),
  ]),
  jazz])

#radio = random(weights=[1,5],[ jazz, radio ])

# Stream it out
output.icecast(%mp3,
host = "18.221.199.44", port = 8000,
, mount = "ssp-radio",
radio)

My .liq file is inside /etc/liquidsoap/, filename is radio.liq

But when I try to load from the browser my streaming at http://someserver.com:8000/ssp-radio an error "404 - The file you requested could not be found! " is returned

I also found these in my error log:

When I try to load this one: http://some-ip:8000/admin/listclients?mount=/ssp-radio it says: 400 - Source does not exist

it's looping and I can't stop the server so I need to exit the terminal

What does this mean? No mountpoint is listed in my admin as well. Please help. Thanks

Update: This is the output from liquidsoap:

Answer 1

As you can see from the liquidsoap log, it fails to connect, apparently:

2018/01/15 13:08:19 [tea-media:2] Connection failed: 403, Forbidden (HTTP/1.0)

So likely you supplied the wrong username or password in liquidsoap, and therefore liquidsoap can't connect to the Icecast server. Make sure you are using the correct source authentication username (usually source) and password (configured in your icecast.xml as source password).
