Hi all, I'm sure this question has been answered before but after an hour of searching through the forums I can't find it. I'm trying to demo Alfresco by running it on my local machine. I can't seem to get CIFS running. The only thing I've edited is this line in the file-servers.xml file:
I've tried several values for the domain argument with no success. When I map I'm using entering this: \\PROG-JICENHOWER\alfresco\Users\admin. This displays "The network path could not be found". I'm running the Alfresco/Tomcat demo download on port 8080. Can anyone help? Thanks!
You can't browse to the domain name. Browse to your machine name with _A tacked on the end. Alternately, put the value you put in the domain into the name key instead.
I am having exactly the same problem. Any ideas why this won't work ? And I don't have a file-servers.xml file in my installation, only a file-servers-custom.xml. Is this the same ?
One of our network guys has been looking into this. He gave up trying to get it working under Windows and is now trying to get it working under Linux. Here's some of what he said:
looks like if you install it under linux it doesn't use netbios (netbios support is windows only), but I think the problem you had is twofold, first you don't have netbios installed so the service wasn't able to announce it was out there, and two your deault smb setup is keeping the alfresco one from working
The problem appears to be related to access/security. Can anyone else verify that he is on the right track?
The one thing that I noticed was that {localname}_A didn't initially work for me when using my work PC due to the length of the machine name. I created a shorter alias in the hosts file then modified the relevant XML config files and it worked OK thereafter.
