Cannot start CIFS on FC8

jsarg — Tue, 24 Jun 2008 06:08:41 GMT

Hello all,I am currently trying to setup the CIFS on a FC8 linux box using Tomcat that already has a samba server running. And just to be a pain i didn't use the 'simple' install as i already had MySQL up and running.I have followed the steps as per http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Changing_Bind_Addre

I have somewhat fixed the problem.

It turned out to be the issue with opening the Ports less than 1024 on linux which are restricted to root access only. I 'believed' i was running it as root, but it appears that it was running that part of the code as another user. Therefore i used the port remap that is in the file-servers.xml which remaps the ports up by 1000 and CIFS appears to start correctly (ie no errors in the alfresco.log)

However this is not the end of my woes. Given that the i am using 2 ip addresses (as i already am running a samba server) i had to remap those ports specifically for the required IP which i did as follows


iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i eth0 -s 192.168.10.129 -p udp –dport 138 -j REDIRECT –to-ports 1138
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i eth0 -s 192.168.10.129 -p udp –dport 137 -j REDIRECT –to-ports 1137
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i eth0 -s 192.168.10.129 -p tcp –dport 445 -j REDIRECT –to-ports 1445
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i eth0 -s 192.168.10.129 -p tcp –dport 139 -j REDIRECT –to-ports 1139
‍‍‍‍‍‍

where:

This part 'appears' to work nicely.

However….i still cannot connect to the thing!
Even with all other firewall rules turned off i still cannot connect.

I can ping the ip from remote pcs, but anything like "net view 192.168.10.129" from an XP machine returns a "System Error 53" (Ie it hasnt found it)

Does anyone have an idea?

Cheers,

Jay
