samba install.

[RandyRiegel]

I just installed Samba 2.2.6 that I downloaded the VOL from a SCO link found on these forums. Everything said it installed fine but I cannot get samba to start. There is a valid smb.conf file in the /etc/samba.d directory. I type "/etc/init.d/samba start" (also restart and enable) but can't find any smb processes.

I think my problem may be that I have Advance File and Print Server 3.51 still running. Could this cause samba not to run if they use the same port? I'm trying to run both at the same time so I can move shares gradually and not have to come in to work in the middle of the night to do it


By the way, I can get into SWAT by going to http:\\localhost:598\ and it works fine. Does it need samba to be running to work?

Take a look at the samba log files.
Samba can't run if the NETBIOS protocol is enable in netconfig.

Hope This Helps, PH.

The message in the error logs says:

[2004/07/30 08:08:54, 0] lib/util_sock.c:open_socket_in(804)
    bind failed on port 139 socket_addr = 0.0.0.0
    Error = Address already in use

So it looks like I'll need to disable AFPS before I can run Samba. Looks like I know what I'll be doing this weekend
