Meta files (links) don´t work

[soeren_r]

The links for checkin, checkout and viewing of the page for that folder in the alfresco web client that Alfresco adds to every folder in its CIFS export don´t work for some reason. The message I get on double clicking one of those links is something along the lines of ' """ is not a valid web address '
I will check this again and update my post with the correct error message, but apparently for some reason alfresco doesn't know where to point those files to and just leaves that string empty.

Alfresco is running on Ubuntu 8.04 and I have configured it using the howtos
http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Installing_Labs_3_on_Linux_with_command_line_interface
and
http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Installing_Alfresco_on_Ubuntu_7.10
with the (minimal) required changes for Ubuntu 8.04

I do not get any errors in alfresco.log, so no point in posting that..

I think I know where to change this and the problem is that ${localname} does not return the correct address.. I just don´t know how to fix this.

I'm having the same problem, using also ubuntu. It happens to me both with the enterprise trial and labs. Whenever I use the __CheckInOut.exe or __ShowDetails.exe executables in the CIFS folders, I get this message : "Not a valid Alfresco CIFS folder".

I don't know how to fix this. My host is called Jefferson and I have given it an entry in my DNS so in windows I access it via \\jefferson.mydomain.com I can browse through the folders but cant perform the checkout process. Any ideas? should I change the hostname to jefferson.mydomain.com?

Thanks in advance for your help

I have changed my hostname to jefferson.mydomain.com and changed the configuration in fileserver_custom.xml to point there too:

<config evaluator="string-compare" condition="CIFS Server">
      <serverEnable enabled="true"/>
      <host name="jefferson.mydomain.com"/>
      <comment>Alfresco CIFS Server</comment>
      <broadcast>255.255.255.255</broadcast>
      <tcpipSMB platforms="linux,solaris,macosx"/>
      <netBIOSSMB platforms="linux,solaris,macosx"/>
      <tcpipSMB port="1445" platforms="linux,solaris,macosx"/>
      <netBIOSSMB sessionPort="1139" namePort="1137" datagramPort="1138" platforms="linux,solaris,macosx"/>
      <hostAnnounce interval="5"/>
      <sessionDebug flags="Negotiate,Socket,Debug"/>
   </config>

But still, when I open a directory via \\jefferson.mydomain.com\alfresco, __CheckInOut.exe still gives me the same error message "Not a valid Alfresco CIFS folder".

Please, anybody has any ideas of how can I fix this issue?

Thanks in advance
