SOLVED: Samba Service won't start

zac851 · Postby **zac851** » Wed Jan 21, 2015 5:11 pm

Can anyone tell me why my Samba service won't start? I've tried to stop it, start it, and restart it with no luck. The server has been running perfect for the last 80 days so as a last resort, I just restarted the server but it still wouldn't start up. The most recent changes that I attempted to install VNC yesterday which failed. Next I installed Sick Beard, and Couch Potato but everything worked fine after that until a few hours ago.

Here is the logs

Try to uninstall cups then restart samba.

Code: Select all

yum erase cups

Unless you have a printer connected to the HDA it's not needed.

Nope, no printer. It says there is no CUPS package to remove. Below is what I get when I run systemctl status smb.service. Looks like some files are missing/got corrupted?

Should I just run "yum install samba" and see if reinstalling fixes it and will that wipe out my current smb.conf in doing so?

zac851 · Postby **zac851** » Wed Jan 21, 2015 5:45 pm

I was reading this thread below

viewtopic.php?f=8&t=5538&start=20

And it looks like one of the users had nearly the same issue I'm having which started after he tried to install VNC and it broke samba.

As I said in my first post, I originally tried to install the VNC amahi app, and it gave an error after about 2 minutes and didn't install. I've got a 100 megabit connection so not sure what happen.. Everything seemed find afterwards though and I went on to install couch potato and sick beard and configure and test them but i'm guessing it had something to do with my current issues.

Postby **bigfoot65** » Wed Jan 21, 2015 5:47 pm

Ok missed that. Try installing VNC app again.

zac851 · Postby **zac851** » Wed Jan 21, 2015 6:03 pm

Alright, VNC installed this time and I was able to log into it and all that so that's good.

Samba is still have the same issue though. I'm going to do another quick reboot of the entire server

Postby **bigfoot65** » Wed Jan 21, 2015 6:09 pm

That same process has worked for others. Seems if the install fails the first time, the second go around works. Not sure if this is due to connectivity or the dependencies just take too long.

Hope everything is working now.

Even after a second reboot, samba is the only service not coming back online. What should I do from here? Still get pretty much the same thing as before

Have you done an OS update? You could reinstall Samba, but it's important that you don't overwrite any of the configuration files.

I would recommend the OS update first to see if that fixes the problem.
