samba web site

sikandar · 08-26-2003, 10:55 PM

I am trying to open samba web site with the following link,

http://localhost:901

But it is generating error that connection is refused. How to resolve this issue?

I don't know how you can access samba with that:

samba webpage: www.samba.org

access linux from windows with samba: just liek you would a windows machine

fom another linux mount -t smbfs //name/share /mnt/wherever

to configure it /etc/samba/smb.conf

to start it:
smbd -D
nmbd -D

Do you mean that you are trying access the web configuration system?

Yes http://localhost:901 is for configuration page.

Do you have Swat installed? It is not a default package in RH9.

How to check it and if not installed then from where to install it?

You can check it with the rpm-protocol tool from your redhat distribution.
Or you can check it with rpm. I don't know the exact option settings, but the man pages are good.
I remeber, I figured it out with the man pages, and that has something to say ;-)

You will find all needed rpm's via www.redhat.com -> download -> search by keyword or www.rpmseek.com.

Good Luck,

P.S: Consider using Webmin, if you take care for more servers. I am very happy with this tool!

Well, if you didn't install it then it is not installed. I think you can get through www.samba.org. RH9 has its own Samba config GUI though. I think it is under System Settings > Server Settings> Samba Server

I have System Settings > Server Settings> Samba Server on my machine and able to use it but I was trying to get it in the web browser?

look on disk 3 of your RH9 disks there should be a Samba-swat rpm
