Can't access repository via CIFS on a fresh 4d installatiion

[ciberg]

Hi, i'm still trying to get CIFS working in my CentOS6/alfresco 4.0c installation.

I had problems with importing a old repository, so I tried to do a fresh installation on a new server to test CIFS.

After installation I try to access via CIFS using the admin account and I get the user/password dialog but when I put it, it is never accepted.

If I access using \\10.0.0.14\alfresco - I get a location unavailable error
If I access using \\10.0.0.14\alfrescoA - I get the user password dialog but when I put it I get a 0x80004005 Unspecified error

It is not a firewall problem because I have disabled it.
In all documentation I read, it says it should work out of the box, or not?

Please help me because this is consuming a lot of my time and I can't find a solution.

Basics first, have you turned cifs on?  What have you configured.

What do you see in your Alfresco.log?

The second thing that tends to go wrong on centos is the name resolution.   What's in your /etc/hosts file?

[ciberg]

thank you for ypur reply.

I have CIFS enabled (cifs.enabled=true) in file-servers.properties and I also tried to enable it in alfresco-global.properties and nothing changes.

The Alfresco.log doesn't tell anything about the problem AFAIK, this is the log after a few failed login attempts.

My hosts file is as follows (but as I'm acccessing via IP it should'nt matter I think), and it's equal (minus the IP and server name) to another server I have running 3.4 without problems.

10.0.0.14   serverName.office.mycompany.com    serverName   # Added by NetworkManager
127.0.0.1   localhost.localdomain   localhost
::1   serverName.office.mycompany.com   wia-s04   localhost6.localdomain6   localhost6
‍‍‍‍‍

Hope you can help me.

I found the only way that I could connect via CIFS to a new 4c installation was to add the following ine to my hosts file

13.13.13.13 AlfrescoX

Where AlfrescoX is the name that I specified in the properties file for the cifs server name.

I didn't need to do this to connect to the previous 3.4 installation. However the 4c is on a windows 7 machine and the older one is on an XP machine so I don't really know is the problem is due to the alfresco version or the windows version.

[mrogers]

Windows version.    This thread is supposed to be about centos

[ciberg]

Yes, the installation is on CentOS 6.

Any ideia on how to solve it? I still can't access via CIFS.

[ciberg]

I installled the new 4.0d version and now I can access CIFS, but I only see the swsdp folder. So my point of entry is the Sites folder of the repository.

How can I access the root folder of the repository so I can access other folders like Company Home, User Homes, etc?

[mrogers]

protocols.rootPath=/${spaces.company_home.childname}

Thank you for your reply.
It is all working fine now.
