Unable to access Alfresco's CIFS under Windows

StackOverflow https://stackoverflow.com/questions/21087981

Question

I successfully installed Alfresco 4.2.d under Ubuntu 13.10 using IP: 192.168.0.200 (mbnoimi-virtual) and I can use the web interface without any problem through the network. But I can't access CIFS using Windows share.

I tried to access CIFS by using theses ways but all of them failed!

\\mbnoimi-virtuala

\\mbnoimi-virtuala\Alfresco

\\192.168.0.200\Alfresco

Error message

Check the spelling of the name. Otherwise, there might be a problem with your network. To try identify and resolve network problems, click Diagnose

P.S.

  • Windows firewall is off
  • I'm trying to access Alfresco's CIFS through Windows 7 32bit
Was it helpful?

Solution 2

I found the solution; This issue happens because of samba conflicting so all what I did to fix it is un-installing whole samba from my Ubuntu then restart Alfresco.

sudo apt-get purge libsmbclient samba samba-common winbind

OTHER TIPS

Alfresco uses privileged ports for CIFS/SMB. If your Alfresco is not executed as root then you should read this http://docs.alfresco.com/4.2/topic/com.alfresco.enterprise.doc/tasks/fileserv-CIFS-useracc.html

You could also set the following loggers to get more detailed logs:

log4j.logger.org.alfresco.smb.protocol=debug
log4j.logger.org.alfresco.fileserver=debug
