I am having some trouble getting CIFS working.  I have Aflresco Community hosted on a FreeBSD system.  The following is my configuration:


<alfresco-config area="file-servers">
   <config evaluator="string-compare" condition="Filesystems" replace="true">
      <filesystems>
         <filesystem name="CIFS Server">
            <serverEnable enabled="true"/>
            <host name="${localname}A"/>
            <comment>Alfresco CIFS Server</comment>
            <broadcast>255.255.255.0</broadcast>
            <tcpipSMB platforms="linux,solaris,macosx"/>
            <netBIOSSMB platforms="linux,solaris,macosx"/>
            <hostAnnounce interval="5"/>
            <sessionDebug flags="Negotiate,Socket"/>
         </filesystem>
      </filesystems>
   </config>
</alfresco-config>
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Here is the stack trace on startup:

I tried taking a look at the current HEAD of the Alfresco source code, but I don't even have org.alfresco.filesys.smb.server.SMBServer (although there is a SMBServer in the jlan project–but still not close enough).  I figure it is probably a configuration issue.

Anybody know of what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks,

David

a couple of ideas here:  Firewalls,  are there ports open on the BSD machine to allow connections on 139 and 445?  And can you look and see if there are any errors in the log file when you try to connect?

I enabled logging for SMB/CIFS, per your suggestion about checking for errors.  I got the following error message:
CIFS server configuration error, NetBIOS SMB, TCP/IP SMB or Win32 NetBIOS must be enabled

I did a quick search on google and found this: http://tech.barwick.de/java/alfresco-enabling-cifs-in-freebsd.html which I tried and now it is working perfectly.

The gist of the article is that you remove the platforms attribute for <tcpipSMB /> and <netBIOSSMB />, and that seems to prevent platform checking and starts services anyway.

I should have enabled logging on SMB from the start.  Smiley Surprisedops:

Thank you very much for your assistance.
