I just installed the binary package in Linux debian and I'm trying to get CIFS to work, but I can't even seem to connect via smbclient in the local host!
I check the alfresco.log file and it seems that my user has no permissions to lauch the CIFS server:
16:05:38,293 ERROR [org.alfresco.smb.protocol.netbios] NetBIOSNameServer setup error: java.net.BindException: Permission denied at java.net.PlainDatagramSocketImpl.bind0(Native Method) at java.net.PlainDatagramSocketImpl.bind(Unknown Source) at java.net.DatagramSocket.bind(Unknown Source) at java.net.DatagramSocket.<init>(Unknown Source) at java.net.DatagramSocket.<init>(Unknown Source) at java.net.DatagramSocket.<init>(Unknown Source) at org.alfresco.filesys.netbios.server.NetBIOSNameServer.openSocket(NetBIOSNameServer.java:1080) at org.alfresco.filesys.netbios.server.NetBIOSNameServer.run(NetBIOSNameServer.java:1504) at java.lang.Thread.run(Unknown Source) 16:05:38,294 INFO [org.alfresco.service.descriptor.DescriptorService] Alfresco JVM - v1.5.0_05-b05; maximum heap size 493.063MB 16:05:38,295 WARN [org.alfresco.service.descriptor.DescriptorService] Alfresco JVM - WARNING - maximum heap size 493.063MB is less than recommended 512MB 16:05:38,295 INFO [org.alfresco.service.descriptor.DescriptorService] Alfresco started (Community Network): Current version 1.3.0 schema 14 - Installed versi on 1.3.0 schema 14 16:05:38,296 ERROR [org.alfresco.ftp.protocol] FTP Socket error java.net.BindException: Permission denied at java.net.PlainSocketImpl.socketBind(Native Method) at java.net.PlainSocketImpl.bind(Unknown Source) at java.net.ServerSocket.bind(Unknown Source) at java.net.ServerSocket.<init>(Unknown Source) at java.net.ServerSocket.<init>(Unknown Source) at org.alfresco.filesys.ftp.FTPNetworkServer.run(FTPNetworkServer.java:381) at java.lang.Thread.run(Unknown Source) 16:05:38,302 ERROR [org.alfresco.smb.protocol] Server error : java.net.BindException: Permission denied at java.net.PlainSocketImpl.socketBind(Native Method) at java.net.PlainSocketImpl.bind(Unknown Source) at java.net.ServerSocket.bind(Unknown Source) at java.net.ServerSocket.<init>(Unknown Source) at java.net.ServerSocket.<init>(Unknown Source) at org.alfresco.filesys.smb.server.SessionSocketHandler.initialize(SessionSocketHandler.java:249) at org.alfresco.filesys.smb.server.NetBIOSSessionSocketHandler.createSessionHandlers(NetBIOSSessionSocketHandler.java:159) at org.alfresco.filesys.smb.server.SMBServer.run(SMBServer.java:496) at java.lang.Thread.run(Unknown Source)
Do I really need a user with root permissions to set this up? If not, what are the privileges I need to get this working?
On linux you can either run as root so the CIFS server can bind the privileged ports 137/138/139/445 or you can setup firewall rules to bounce incoming requests to non-privileged ports so Tomcat/Alfresco can be run using a normal user account.
