The next step is to edit the icecast.xml file and set the appropriate values. Most of the +specified values in the samples are fine, for a basic setup the following entries should be +specified, and if neccessary, changed to suite your situation : 

-<source-password> - will be used by the source client
-<admin-password> - will be used to access admin features of icecast
+<hostname> - DNS name or IP address used for stream directory listings.
+<source-password> - will be used for the source client authentication
+<admin-password> - will be used for authenticating admin features of icecast
 <listen-socket> (both port and bind-address)
 <logdir> - directory where log files will be placed
-<webroot> - any static content can be placed here (file serving root)
+<webroot> - directory for non admin content (file serving root), status page is provided
 <adminroot> - directory containing admin xslt files
+

Most will not need to change adminroot/webroot as those are only read by icecast but icecast +needs to create files in the logdir which MAY mean you want to be more selective. The other +settings above will need to be provided by the icecast administrator

Once the configuration file is modified, you should be able to start the server with the following command

 icecast -c /path/to/icecast.xml
