Alfresco 5 Cifs

[jakepens71]

Hello,

I the company that I worked for before had a Alfresco server running 4.0.d. It was an enterprise version and had CIFS set up correctly. I am a programmer and not a network person.

The configuration they had before was as follows in Alferso-global.properties:

We had a third party set up the application and no know took notes or watched exactly how they did it. I am trying to get this working on a virtual machine set up of Windows Server 2012.

I mapped the network drive that they were using that contains all of our sites on it that was used on the previous server. It is called AlfrescoA.

If i go into my web browser and go to //alfrescoA/alfresco I can then get right to it. However, when i go to localhost:8080/share I do not see any of the sites or the files that are in them.

I have also tried disabling windows firewall completely, disabling all the 445 nonsense that Windows Server has along with it (but I couldn't completely disable it.) I have also tried other install of Alfresco namely 4.2.e and 4.0.d again but both community.



Any ideas?

This is all you need for CIFS to work (been using this since v4, currently running on v5)

### CIFS ###
cifs.enabled=true
cifs.serverName=yourhostnamegoeshereA
cifs.hostannounce=true
cifs.domain=yourdomainnamegoeshere.com
cifs.broadcast=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
cifs.localname=${localname}A
cifs.urlfile.prefix=https://${localname}:8443/alfresco/

### HIDE ICONS ###
cifs.pseudoFiles.enabled=false
cifs.pseudoFiles.explorerURL.enabled=false
cifs.pseudoFiles.explorerURL.fileName=__Alfresco.url
cifs.pseudoFiles.shareURL.enabled=false
cifs.pseudoFiles.shareURL.fileName=__Share.url


The bottom section you don't need, only top part to have it working. Keep in mind I'm using SSL, only difference.

Not sure what you meant by "However, when i go to localhost:8080/share I do not see any of the sites or the files that are in them."
That's HTTP not CIFS.

And I note from your alfresco-global.properties you are running alfresco on alfresco:80.   You probably have Share on the same server in which case it will be on alfresco:80/share.   You don't need to specify 80 since its the default value.
