topic CIFS Sever / Samba server conflict; java.net.BindException: in Alfresco Archive https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/cifs-sever-samba-server-conflict-java-net-bindexception/m-p/12406#M5098 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>This is a report of my own experiments to obviate BindExceptions.</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>Having installed Alfresco on my Linux box, I was not really surprised to receive several</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>java.net.BindException: Address already in use</SPAN><BR /><SPAN> exceptions, as both Alfresco and my smbd/nmbd and ftp server were trying to bind to the same ports with the 'wildcard' IP address (0.0.0.0).</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>To allow co-existence, I decided to firstly, switch off the Alfresco netBIOSSMB service in favour of the Linux nmbd.&nbsp; The method is described on other forum posts, all that is required is to edit WEB-INF/classes/alfresco/file-servers.xml (within alfresco.war) and force tcpipSMB:</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>Locate then lines:</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &lt;tcpipSMB platforms="linux,solaris,macosx"/&gt;</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &lt;netBIOSSMB platforms="linux,solaris,macosx"/&gt;</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>and remove linux from&nbsp; the netBIOSSMB entry:</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &lt;tcpipSMB platforms="linux,solaris,macosx"/&gt;</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &lt;netBIOSSMB platforms="solaris,macosx"/&gt;</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>for the CIFS/smbd conflict, I decided to create an extra IP address just for Alfresco, and change the 'wildcard' IP bind address to a specific single address.</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>My original network interface was configured thus:</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN># ifconfig eth0</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>eth0&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Link encap:Ethernet&nbsp; HWaddr 00:50:8D:F3:B4:71&nbsp; </SPAN><BR /><SPAN>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; inet addr:192.168.129.2&nbsp; Bcast:192.168.129.255&nbsp; Mask:255.255.255.0</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST&nbsp; MTU:1500&nbsp; Metric:1</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>[snip]</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>I added an extra IP address thus:</SPAN><BR /><SPAN># ifconfig eth0:0 192.168.129.63</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>result:</SPAN><BR /><SPAN># ifconfig eth0:0</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>eth0:0&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Link encap:Ethernet&nbsp; HWaddr 00:50:8D:F3:B4:71&nbsp; </SPAN><BR /><SPAN>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; inet addr:192.168.129.63&nbsp; Bcast:192.168.129.255&nbsp; Mask:255.255.255.0</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST&nbsp; MTU:1500&nbsp; Metric:1</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>[snip]</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>To force the smb daemon to listen on the correct address rather than wildcarding, I edited /etc/samba/smb.conf, and in the '[global]' section added:</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>; Allow several Samba servers on different subnet without conflicts</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; socket address = 192.168.129.2</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; interfaces = 192.168.129.0/255.255.255.0</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; bind interfaces only = yes</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>consistent with my original eth0 ifconfig.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>The similar task for the Alfresco CIFS server is accomplished by more editing of</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>WEB-INF/classes/alfresco/file-servers.xml</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>It is just a case of adding 'bindto' attributes in the correct spots and narrowing the broadcast address (necessary?)</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>For the CIFS Server, I changed the broadcast address to that of my LAN and added a bindto attribute below:</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &lt;!– Set to the broadcast mask for the subnet –&gt;</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &lt;broadcast&gt;192.168.129.255&lt;/broadcast&gt;</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &lt;bindto&gt;192.168.129.63&lt;/bindto&gt;</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>and added a simlar line for the Alfresco FTP Server:</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>&nbsp;&nbsp; &lt;config evaluator="string-compare" condition="FTP Server"&gt;</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>&lt;!–&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &lt;debug flags="File,Search,Error,Directory,Info,DataPort"/&gt; –&gt;</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &lt;bindto&gt;192.168.129.63&lt;/bindto&gt;</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>&nbsp;&nbsp; &lt;/config&gt;</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>The last task was to add a line to the /etc/hosts file in this and interested client machines, mapping the CIFS server name to its IP address:</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>192.168.129.63&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; brunel_a</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Having then shutdown and restarted smb/nmb/alfresco, I was free of bind exceptions and my netstat output looked like this:</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN># netstat -lnp | egrep 'java|mb' | tr -s ' '</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>prot s r localAddress&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
