Cannot access my hda from windows

[imgermany]

i already tried to put my hda credentials there like

hda.amahi.net
[user]
Password

but the errormessage is/was the same, doesnt matter if they are there or not

Maybe there is a firewall blocking access. I presume the domain name you are using is the one configured in your HDA profile on amahi.org.

EDIT: Have you checked the Shares troubleshooting page?

[imgermany]

yes, amahi.net is the one configured in your HDA profile on amahi.org.
A firewall where? On the hda? i switched the win 7 firewall off, no change...

I now read the "share troubleshooting post" which finally not helps...but i found a difference in the errormessages:
when i give a
-> net use \\hda\Music /USER:test
it asks for the password. if i give a wrong one it says
"System error 86 has occurred. The specified network password is not correct."

if i give the correct password it says:
" System error 53 has occurred. The network path was not found."

so i guess it is a network problem..?

Could be a firewall issue with your client.

as i wrote before, ".... i switched the win 7 firewall off, no change..."

what else can i do now?

i found out something new right now...

Meanwhile i created an user "test" with passwort "test" - when i go to a command box in win7 and give:

net use \\HDA\Books /USER:test

that works for:
Books
TV
test
wdc1000


works not for:
Docs
Movies
Music
Pictures
Public
Videos

Than i deleted the share "Docs" and created a new share "Docs".

And guess what? IT WORKED!

I visibly see no difference between the original shares and the ones i created myself.

So that is not a problem of a firewall i guess - what could it be? Whats the difference of "default" to "new created" shares?

[bigfoot65]

In theory if it works on one share, it should on all. There is no difference in permissions or settings for the shares other than the name on install.

This article might be helpful.

what do you think about that? can i see the shares a "more native way"?

I am not sure why the default shares do not work unless the user you created on install no longer exists. Lets check the permissions by doing this as root user:

Code: Select all

ls -al /var/hda/files

Please post the results.

[root@localhost ~]# ls -al /var/hda/files
insgesamt 24
drwxr-xr-x. 6 root root 4096 5. Jan 23:12 .
drwxr-xr-x. 13 root root 4096 3. Jan 18:10 ..
drwxrwxrwx 4 root root 4096 5. Jan 23:34 books

All shares should not be owned by root. That is the problem. I don't know how you ended up with shares owned by root. They must be owned by the user you created when you installed Amahi.

To correct, as root user do:

Code: Select all

chown -R user:user /var/hda/files/books

Replace user with the user you created on install if it's still valid. Otherwise it must be the first admin user.

Does that make sense?
