Startup error on Mac OS X

[alexandra]

This thread is a little bit messy I had an error message here before which I don´t think is relevant any more so I deleted it for clarity…

Did some more digging using the Forums and Google

Found out that in file-servers.xml there were a few values that someone suggested to edit.

The first was

<!–Set to the broadcast mask for the subnet –>
      <broadcast>255.255.255.192</broadcast>

which was 255.255.255.255 before…is this the same as netmask?

This was also disabled

      <tcpipSMB port="1445" platforms="linux,solaris,macosx"/>
      <netBIOSSMB sessionPort="1139" namePort="1137" datagramPort="1138" platforms="linux,solaris,macosx"/>

So I uncommented that as well.

After that my error messages look like this

01:27:09,666 WARN  [org.springframework.remoting.rmi.RmiRegistryFactoryBean] Could not detect RMI registry - creating new one

Which compared to earlier is some kind of prograss.

However, when trying to mount the CIFS-volume I either get an error saying wrong password or just error code -36 when using Apple-K in Finder.

The log file says like this depending on trying with domain/alfresco or domain_A/alfresco

mount_smbfs: negotiate phase failed: syserr = Connection refused
mount_smbfs: can't get server address `UTV.RFSL.SE_A':
Unknown host
mount_smbfs: can't get server address: syserr = Network is down

Any suggestions…

If you start Alfresco on MAC OS X with 'root' user you can use the reserved port 445, 138, 137 and 139 for Samba & NetBios Services; otherwise if you want start Alfresco with another user you must uncomment the two lines

<tcpipSMB port="1445" platforms="linux,solaris,macosx"/> 
<netBIOSSMB sessionPort="1139" namePort="1137" datagramPort="1138" platforms="linux,solaris,macosx"/>
‍‍‍‍

and use port 1445, 1138, 1137 and 1139 ( or some other ).

Then it's important to set the domain parameter

<host name="${localname}_A" domain="yourdomain.com"/>‍

and netmask

<broadcast>255.255.255.0</broadcast>‍

after this you can try to connect from finder on the same machine where the Alfresco Server starts; to connect from other machine you can set on the firewall the rules to open 1445, 1138, 1137, 1139 ports
