Post by systrum »

hi,
am new to this and hoping some one will point me in the right direction.
am running a radio broadcast using shoutcast from my mac using os x. I have my web page on a .mac web space and i want to show the tracks on that page as they parse. i am not exactly sure of what php download to use given this set up. can anyone tell me what i need exactly?
kind regards

great, thanx for the reply. could u tell me what download i would need. am i little confused as there are so many. as i am using fast-serv.com for band width, and they provide my broad cast shoutcast server (and am running my page off a .mac web server) do i really need to run a server (apache) on my machine to get what i want to work? any pointers to get started will be greatly appreciated

kind regards

Well, you need access to any server that can host and run a php script. fast-serv.com does not state if you recieve webhosting also with your shoutcast account but if is included you should be able to use that.

If not, there are free webhosting services that allows php scripts (I do not know the name of any tho, try Google). Upload a single page and your set.

You can ofcourse use a personal server on your own machine, but that is imho abit to complicated just to run one page. I hope any of the above two helps you better.
