Shared Driver on WinXP?

tmoreland — Fri, 12 Dec 2008 20:34:45 GMT

I just downloaded and installed Alfresco Lab on my WinXP machine. The web interfaces are working just fine but I don't see how I can use the Shared Driver concept.Help!?

I meant "Shared Drive", not Driver. Damn fingers type too fast!

Thanks for the reply.

What this tells me is that on Windows, I shouldn't really have to do anything.

However, Network Neighborhood shows nothing on my host other than the typical "SharedDocs" share.

Is there a particular "hidden" share that I need to access to get to the docs?

Try doing Start/Run "\\<serverName>A\Alfresco"

I assume you had a typo with the "A" after the <servername> but it didn't work. Can't find it…

No, that's not a typo. It needs to be different to the normal Windows file sharing server, so we add an "A" by default.

Bummer…

If I do Start/Run "\\jjgkhh1", I see all of the shares as expected. If I do "\\jjgkhh1A" or "\\jjgkhh1A\Alfresco" it errors that no path is found. The Alfresco server is indeed running.

I did get it to work finally. I did a mapped drive and provided my login credentials. The pass-thru authentication apparently is what was failing since my Windows credentials don't match my Alfresco credentials.

Thanks for your help. I wouldn't have figured it out without knowing the proper path!
