Centova Cast is a web-based control panel for managing internet radio stations. It allows you to create and manage your own online radio station with features such as live streaming, auto DJ, playlists, statistics, and more. In this article, we will show you how to setup and install Centova Cast on your Centos VPS.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, you will need:

• A Centos VPS with root access
• A domain name pointing to your VPS IP address
• A valid license key for Centova Cast

Step 1: Download and extract Centova Cast

First, you need to download the latest version of Centova Cast from their official website. You can use the wget command to download it to your VPS:

wget http://www.centova.com/download/cast/installer.sh

Next, you need to make the installer script executable and run it:

chmod +x installer.sh
./installer.sh

The installer will ask you to accept the license agreement and enter your license key. After that, it will extract the Centova Cast files to the /usr/local/centovacast directory.

Step 2: Configure Centova Cast

After the extraction is complete, you need to configure Centova Cast for your server. You can use the cc-install script to do that:

/usr/local/centovacast/sbin/cc-install

The script will ask you some questions about your server settings, such as:

• The hostname of your server (e.g. radio.example.com)
• The port number for the web interface (e.g. 80)
• The username and password for the admin account
• The email address for the admin account
• The timezone of your server
• The preferred language for the web interface

You can answer these questions according to your preferences and press Enter to continue. The script will then create the necessary database tables and files for Centova Cast.

Step 3: Start Centova Cast

Once the configuration is done, you can start Centova Cast by running:

/usr/local/centovacast/sbin/cc-start

This will start the Centova Cast daemon and the web server. You can check the status of Centova Cast by running:

/usr/local/centovacast/sbin/cc-status

You should see something like this:

Centova Cast status:
Centova Cast daemon: running (pid 1234)
Web server: running (pid 5678)

Step 4: Access Centova Cast web interface

Now you can access the Centova Cast web interface by visiting http://your-server-hostname/ in your browser. You should see a login page like this:
