Meta files (links) don´t work

soeren_r — Wed, 15 Oct 2008 12:19:22 GMT

The links for checkin, checkout and viewing of the page for that folder in the alfresco web client that Alfresco adds to every folder in its CIFS export don´t work for some reason. The message I get on double clicking one of those links is something along the lines of ' """ is not a valid web addres

I think I know where to change this and the problem is that ${localname} does not return the correct address.. I just don´t know how to fix this.

I'm having the same problem, using also ubuntu. It happens to me both with the enterprise trial and labs. Whenever I use the __CheckInOut.exe or __ShowDetails.exe executables in the CIFS folders, I get this message : "Not a valid Alfresco CIFS folder".

I don't know how to fix this. My host is called Jefferson and I have given it an entry in my DNS so in windows I access it via \\jefferson.mydomain.com I can browse through the folders but cant perform the checkout process. Any ideas? should I change the hostname to jefferson.mydomain.com?

Thanks in advance for your help

I have changed my hostname to jefferson.mydomain.com and changed the configuration in fileserver_custom.xml to point there too:

<config evaluator="string-compare" condition="CIFS Server">
      <serverEnable enabled="true"/>
      <host name="jefferson.mydomain.com"/>
      <comment>Alfresco CIFS Server</comment>
      <broadcast>255.255.255.255</broadcast>
      <tcpipSMB platforms="linux,solaris,macosx"/>
      <netBIOSSMB platforms="linux,solaris,macosx"/>
      <tcpipSMB port="1445" platforms="linux,solaris,macosx"/>
      <netBIOSSMB sessionPort="1139" namePort="1137" datagramPort="1138" platforms="linux,solaris,macosx"/>
      <hostAnnounce interval="5"/>
      <sessionDebug flags="Negotiate,Socket,Debug"/>
   </config>
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

But still, when I open a directory via \\jefferson.mydomain.com\alfresco, __CheckInOut.exe still gives me the same error message "Not a valid Alfresco CIFS folder".

Please, anybody has any ideas of how can I fix this issue?

Thanks in advance
