Primary HTML Access via Windows share
« on: August 25, 2001, 06:43:17 AM »
I want to be able to drag-n-drop/write-to the /Primary/html directory on my E-Smith server as Admin.

I've logged in as Admin on my Widows workstation using the E-Smith admin password. I've created other i-bays and I can access all the i-bay folders via Network Neighborhood. I can drag-n-drop files into all the ibay folders except those in the Primary directory.

I'm using E-Smith 4.1.2 with the updates and the recent Samba/Apache/SSL/IMP/PHP updates. Everything other aspect of the server appears to function after the updates. However, I did not try to drag-n-drop a file into the primary/html directory until I made a "test.php" file to test the PHP setup. That's when I ran into this issue.

I've searched the forums but didn't see anything exactly on-point.
What do I need to do to be able to get write access to the primary/html folder ?

I've remedied the issue using Samba's "smbpasswd" command. I "changed" the admin password to be the same that it had been, and now I can write to the Primary/html folder.
As to the possible cause of the problem, I'm attributing to something unknown that occured with the samba passwords during the upgrade.
In any event, I'm happy again.
