I run Icecast 2.4x on W11 (stream over HTTPS) and upgraded to 2.50.  I 
modified the V2.50 config.xml with the needed info, but when I launch 
icecast.bat the console shows:

    I/O warning : failed to load "./report-db.xml": No such file or 
directory
    [2026-07-09  17:31:37] EROR CONFIG/cfgfile.c Can not parse report xml 
database "./report-db.xml"
    [2026-07-09  17:31:37] EROR CONFIG/cfgfile.c No PRNG seed configured 
and unable to add one. PRNG is insecure.

1) What is this _report-db.xml_ it is looking for? The file is not 
delivered with the setup.

2) How do I configure the PRNG seed?  (either to use it or suppress it)

I do get an audio stream.  File server doesn't work.
