CIFS on Alfresco Labs 3

alr — Mon, 01 Sep 2008 16:58:08 GMT

Hi everyone,I am currently struggling with getting CIFS/SMB up and running. I did a default installation of Alfresco-Labs-3a.r1032-Mini-Setup.exe - everything started fine except the SMB Part, which leaves me with the error messageUserystem ERROR [alfresco.smb.protocol] Error accessing Win32 NetBI

Hi.

The error message remains even after I have moved all four DLL files into the C:\Windows\System32 directory.

Hello,
Normally, all the dll are accessible from the system directory under windows home folder.
If a dll-library exist in this folder it will be no problem to any other application to access this file !
I don t understand what s the mistake with your configuration!
Did you tried to re-install alfresco ? just the war file in the $alfresco_home\tomcat\webapp directory !
If the problem persist, i think you will have to re-install your windows ! because there s absolutely no reason to that !
Check that alfresco is permitted to access all folder in your computer.

Thanks for your reply. A colleague of mine faces exactly the same problem with alfresco labs 3, though it is working without problems with version 2.9 on the same system - so I do not suspect some configuration error (except some bizarre registry voodoo or anything like that).

if you have some more ideas, where I could increase the debugging output for such a case, fell free to tell. 🙂

Regards and thanks for your time.

hello,

I had the same issue as above with the same error message. It seems I had a few old versions of win32netbios.dll on my machine which were in my path. When these old versions were removed and only the proper version was visible, CIFS was configured and started correctly.

Hope this helps!

Hi,
I faced this issue and was going through this thread, with lotsa trial n error. Ultimately per the last comment, I did a search for Win32NetBIOS.dll in my PC. I found a few extra copies in the other work spaces. Once I removed them, i restarted the server and IDE(Eclipse). It is now working from both server console and IDE console. Not sure whether this is the exact cause of the problem. But I wud like to remind that I retained a copy of this DLL in the Windows/System32 folder as well. Once all these are done, it started working for me.

Thanks folks,
Sherry.

Thanks everyone. I was having trouble with this until i copied the following 4 files into C:/WINDOWS/system32:

- Win32NetBIOS.dll
- Win32NetBIOSx64.dll
- Win32Utils.dll
- Win32Utilsx64.dll
