Man, I wish there was a good doc around to help with this because I keep seeing tons of posts but none that really help me out.

- I'm running samba 2.0.10-2 on RH7.1.


- Apache is installed and configured; localhost brings up the test page just fine.


- /etc/services has the following line:

swat 901/tcp # Samba Web Administration Tool


- /etc/xinetd.d/swat contains:

service swat
{
port = 901
socket_type = stream
wait = no
only_from = 127.0.0.1
user = root
server = /usr/sbin/swat
log_on_failure += USERID
disable = no
}


- /sbin/chkconfig --list outputs this at the end:

xinetd based services:
rexec: off
rlogin: off
rsh: off
chargen: off
chargen-udp: off
daytime: off
daytime-udp: off
echo: off
echo-udp: off
time: off
time-udp: off
finger: off
ntalk: off
talk: off
telnet: off
rsync: off
swat: on

Anyone know why I can't connect to http://localhost:901 ?

Thanks!

Okay, this may sound really obnoxious... but er, is Samba on? It wasn't in your chkconfig list.

Cheers,

Finegan

from /sbin/chkconfig --list

smb 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:off 4:off 5:off 6:off


from /usr/sbin/samba status

smbd (pid 2201) is running...
nmbd (pid 2206) is running...


Hmm... these look like they're contradicting each other.

I was having the same problem this morning, go to your services and enable Swat to start on startup...I'm using Redhat 7.2 so doing this was a sinch.

Once you have done that you have to make sure that httpd is running....once all that is right just fire up the samba config and all should be good


cheers

hey, thanks for the help... pardon my stupid question, but how exactly do you go about doing that? I have RH 7.1 with Gnome/Xiamian installed, so if there's an easy way to do it through the GUI you could instruct me with that as well. Thanks!
