Samba Configuration not loading..

sramelyk · 02-21-2004, 08:56 PM

I installed samba-swat and drakwizard and when I go to the 'samba coniguration' program on 'CONFIGURATION -> Networking -> 'Samba Configuration' a Konquerer browser pops up with a "COULD NOT CONNECT TO HOST LOCALHOST (PORT 901)"

Was there software I forgot to install?

I downloaded Webmin and get the same error when trying to load it.

It sounds like you (or an app in the background) is trying to run SWAT.

check your /etc/inetd.conf file and make sure swat is in there...

something like:

Code:

swat     stream   tcp    nowait   root   (path to swat)/swat  swat

and in the /etc/services have:

Code:

swat    901/tcp

NOTE: paths could be different in your Distro
That 'should' get you going further =)

(Also nmbd and smbd need to be started first)
