I ran into this issue earlier this year, and couldn't find any way around it other then to start my AppServer with sudo so that it runs as root, and can bind to port numbers lower then 1024.

Yesterday I found a workaround to allow alfresco to bind to unrestricted ports. You'll need to edit <alfresco-war>/WEB-INF/classes/alfresco/file-servers.xml, and uncomment these two lines


<tcpipSMB port="1445" platforms="linux,solaris,macosx"/>
<netBIOSSMB sessionPort="1139" namePort="1137" datagramPort="1138" platforms="linux,solaris,macosx"/>
‍‍‍‍

Then you will need to forward the ports with iptables…These are the ports I forwarded.


su - root
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp –dport 80 -j REDIRECT –to-port 8080
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp –dport 137 -j REDIRECT –to-port 1137
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp –dport 138 -j REDIRECT –to-port 1138
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp –dport 139 -j REDIRECT –to-port 1139
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp –dport 445 -j REDIRECT –to-port 1445
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

After doing this the server stared up, and CIFS is working. The one goofy thing is now my CIFS server name changed form servernameA to just servername…Not sure why, but I'm ok with it.

One issue I'm still running into is with the FTP port. I haven't found where to change the bind port for FTP. When I start up I still get this error:
