How to set up CIFS on local machine running Alfresco?

austinjim

Hi all,
I'm sure this question has been answered before but after an hour of searching through the forums I can't find it. I'm trying to demo Alfresco by running it on my local machine. I can't seem to get CIFS running. The only thing I've edited is this line in the file-servers.xml file:

<host name="${localname}_A" domain="PROG-JICENHOWER"/>‍

I've tried several values for the domain argument with no success. When I map I'm using entering this: \\PROG-JICENHOWER\alfresco\Users\admin. This displays "The network path could not be found".
I'm running the Alfresco/Tomcat demo download on port 8080.
Can anyone help?
Thanks!

You can't browse to the domain name. Browse to your machine name with _A tacked on the end. Alternately, put the value you put in the domain into the name key instead.

Thanks for the reply. I tried mapping a drive using the following (with the _A) and still no luck.
\\PROG-JICENHOWER_A\alfresco\Users\admin

What did you mean by this?

Alternately, put the value you put in the domain into the name key instead.

Also, how can I be sure the CIFS server is running? I'm getting no errors on the Tomcat console when Alfresco starts.
Thanks again!

Perhaps you should post your Alfresco/Tomcat logfile. There might be something in there that gives us a clue as to what's going on.

I am having exactly the same problem. Any ideas why this won't work ?
And I don't have a file-servers.xml file in my installation, only a file-servers-custom.xml. Is this the same ?

Thanks

One of our network guys has been looking into this. He gave up trying to get it working under Windows and is now trying to get it working under Linux. Here's some of what he said:

looks like if you install it under linux it doesn't use netbios (netbios support is windows only), but I think the problem you had is twofold, first you don't have netbios installed so the service wasn't able to announce it was out there, and two your deault smb setup is keeping the alfresco one from working

The problem appears to be related to access/security. Can anyone else verify that he is on the right track?

The one thing that I noticed was that {localname}_A didn't initially work for me when using my work PC due to the length of the machine name. I created a shorter alias in the hosts file then modified the relevant XML config files and it worked OK thereafter.
