Problems starting server: Server exited immediately after startup

Question:

When I attempt to start a stream, Centova Cast displays:

Server could not be started: Server exited immediately after startup

Answer:

This error indicates that Centova Cast was able to execute your streaming server software (SHOUTcast DNAS, IceCast, etc.) however shortly after starting up, it exited unexpectedly.

Troubleshooting this problem involves the same steps as described in the following article:
