CIFS Configuration on Ubuntu

mautidavis

Dear all,

I'm trying to configure CIFS on Ubuntu Linux 12.04 but it seems like it is not working. What might be the problem?

I have installed PostgreSQL as the database and enabled CIFS in alfresco-global.properties. When I try to access alfresco repository from windows by running \\[Alfresco server IP address] I get a message that the path cannot be found.

I'm using Alfresco 4.0.

My alfresco-global.properties file is as shown below:

Dear all,

I opened port 139 and 445 and now I can reach my Alfresco server but when I type \\[AlfrescoServerIPAddress] I get a blank window - it connects but does not list any folder. When I type \\[AlfrescoServerIPAddress]\alfresco I get a message that the path cannot be found. I'm trying to connect from Windows and the Alfresco server is running on a Ubuntu Linux.

Do I need to change the cifs.urlfile.prefix=http://${localname}/alfresco/ to something like: cifs.urlfile.prefix=\\${localname}\alfresco\ in alfresco properties file?

Your guidance will be appreciated.

BTW, I can access the folders when I type: http://AlfrescoServerIP:8080/alfresco/webdav on a browser.

The error message on alfresco.log file is:

11:05:53,231 ERROR [org.alfresco.fileserver] [SMB] Server error : org.alfresco.jlan.server.config.InvalidConfigurationException: Error initializing TCP-IP SMB session handler, Permission denied

   at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:662)

Any ideas on this issue?

you need to redirect the port settings

modprobe iptable_nat
iptables -F
iptables -t nat -F
iptables -P INPUT ACCEPT
iptables -P FORWARD ACCEPT
iptables -P OUTPUT ACCEPT
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp –dport 445 -j DNAT –to-destination :1445
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp –dport 445 -j DNAT –to-destination :1445
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp –dport 137:139 -j DNAT –to-destination :1137-1139
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p udp –dport 137:139 -j DNAT –to-destination :1137-1139

Dear bisana,

The suggested commands have completely messed up my Alfresco installation! How can I go back to the way things were, basically undo the effects of those commands? I cannot now even access the login page despite Alfresco having started successfully.

Regards,
Davis

bisana

sudo iptables -F

mautidavis

Have just run that command and it seems it is working okay save for the fact that I cannot now access Alfresco over the network - I cannot access Alfresco Share or Explorer using the server name or IP address on a broswser from another computer. I can access Share or Explorer on the Alfresco server alone. What can I do to access Alfresco on another computer?

Thanks in advance.

mautidavis

I have managed to sort out the issue of Alfresco not being accessible from another computer.

Now to my initial problem: how can I access the Alfresco repository from a Windows computer? \\AlfrescoServerIP just displays a blank page and \\AlfrescoServerIP\alfresco indicates that the path is not found. Any ideas to solve this problem are most welcome.

mrogers

I presume you have sorted out binding the alfresco and share host to the loopback address.

Your setting for cifs.serverName does not look correct.
cifs.serverName=****.***.****.***
It should be a name for NetBios not an IP address. By default it would be {Servername}A

Are you using port forwarding or not?

If you are using your settings below then you will need to run alfresco as root.
cifs.tcpipSMB.port=445
cifs.netBIOSSMB.sessionPort=139
cifs.netBIOSSMB.namePort=137
cifs.netBIOSSMB.datagramPort=138

Dear Mrogers,

Thanks for your guidance.

I've changed the cifs.serverName settings and restarted Alfresco (and the server itself) but still I cannot access the alfresco folder over the network.

I'm logged in as root and hence starting alfresco as root. I'm not using port forwarding (it messed my application when I tried it).

One thing I want to know: since I can access the Alfresco folder over the network using Samba, which specific folder can I map so that scanned documents can directly be delivered to a specific folder in the document library of a specific site in Alfresco?

Your guidance is always appreciated.

Davis Onsakia

Hi Davis
Did you said you are going to configure SAMBA instance to share Alfresco folder, I dont think it is a good idea
If you check the IPTABLES command , it shows that SAMBA ports are redirected.
Thanks

uthen

I used 4.0.e and just install without modify alfresco-global.properties.

it work.

mautidavis

Dear Uthen,

Did CIFS work without changing anything on alfresco-global.properties file?

Please share.

Davis
