Does work CIFS in Alfresco 2.9.0 B?

[mabayona]

After having Alfresco community 2.1 installed and working on windows vista, I decided to test 2.9B anf found out that the CIFS connection is not working. No error message in the logs though.

It is just me or anybody else is having similar problems?

I forgot… NetBIOS is in the path (as I said before I had a working CIFS conenction and a mapped drive working under 2.1 community.

I´m not sure if it is a problen on mi side but I updated to the last 2.9B nightly (20080108) and in a new instalation Alfresco works (vista, JDK 6_0u4, Tomcat6.0.14) but CIFS and FTPO does not and the logs shows:

Any idea?

hi,
I see you are in a hurry with this problem..

Im not quite sure (must ask our administrator), but I think we had the sme problem with this latest build… So we rolled back to build 20071227 and CIFS is working again.

Ill let you know as soon as I find out for sure if this was the issue.

Best regards

Daniel

hallo
yes my admin has confirmed that with the buikd 20080108 we had problems to run CIFS and FTP protocols.

We were not trying to solve it.. just roled back to previous version because we need CIFS for our workflow (and have to solve other issues).

Thanks dmatejka for the info!!!

Do you know if it is possible to get the previous nightly version of 2.9B?

[dmatejka]

Hi,
I do not know about the previous build, but you can try build from 2007-12-09

http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=143373&package_id=157460&release_id=560427

best regards,

Hi guys

Sorry I am new in Alfresco, but I am quite interested in the new 2.9.0B release. About CIFS I have readed in the documentation that CIFS is not enabled in Multy-Tenancy yet.

See this link : http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/MT#Tenant-Aware_Interfaces

I have upgraded my system from 2.0 to 2.9.0B and did not get CIFS to work, Have your considered this documentation before trying to work with CIFS or you know if there is a new release with Multy-Tenantcy that supports CIFS?

Hope this helps

Cheers

Hi jlabuelo,
I do not think there is new version that supports CIFS in Multi-Tenancy. (I would also appriciate this).

Moreover, it seems to me that, there is some problem with CIFS running in the latest build 20080108. Maybe you can also try the previous build which does not seem to have this CIFS problem.

Best regards

Daniel

Hi dmatejka

Thanks for the answer. So just for me to be clear, you mean that the previous build of the 2007-12-27 of Alfresco 2.9 supports multi-tenancy and CIFS, sorry did not understand exactly what you mean. I am working and testing this 2.9 Multi-Tenancy version as I think can help my purpouses a lot. If there is any way of configuring Multy-Tenancy and CIFS, could you please guide me where I can get the documentation where it is explained how this can be done?

Thanks a lot again 😉
