For some time now, I have been trying to use smb2www, obtained from
the Samba website. I have a Sun Ultra 5 running Solaris 9, upgraded
from Solaris 8. I connect to the internet through a Win98 computer
running WinGate, via a cable modem. The internet connection works, and
I can access the Solaris computer through Network Neighborhood.
I believe my problem may stem from the fact that when I click on
Hosts, System Info, the Workstation Information dialogue box shows the
Network Domain as [Couldn't Ascertain].
My /etc/hosts file contains: (# = reference only. No comments are
there.)
192.168.0.1 Liam #WinGate box
192.168.0.4 Liam98 #obviously another win98 computer
127.0.0.1 localhost
192.168.0.6 LiamSparc LiamSparc.foo.bar loghost
/etc/netmasks contains:
192.168.0.0 255.255.255.0
/etc/resolv.conf contains:
domain blueyonder.co.uk
nameserver 195.188.52.62
search WORKSHY #my network name
/etc/networks, which I have never edited, has (# included in this,
commented lines not):
loopback 127
arpanet 10 arpa # Historical
I have WebMin and Apache installed, but as I'm only a beginner, I
don't know if it's properly or adequately. Httpd Starting and Starting
WebMin on..... both appear when booting.
Smb2www looks like it should be such a good program, but I am pretty
sure my first hurdle is getting the Network Domain recognised; and I'm
at a loss!
Could it be my Samba configuration? Some networking configuration
file? Even a Windows computer?
Any pointers would be really gratefully recieved. My next step would
be to reload Solaris 8, attemt to install it, then upgrade to Solaris
9 again. I'd rather not do that, though!
I'll try any suggestion, and let you know the result.
Thanks in advance, Liam
This is my original cry for help. Since writing this, I have set my
domain name. This has made no discernable difference. When I try to
open any file ending with “.pm”, I get an error message about an
“Invalid XBM/XPM” file from the icon editor. I can open these files,
however, through Win98. Running a “.pl” file results in a message
similar to “can’t find Base64.pm in @INC.” I suspect Perl here. But I
don’t know! |

Kyrie,
thanks for the reply. My goal is to use smb2www because it's
there! I only intend to access my own home network from different
computers. I have 5 boxes running various windows, Linux, OS/2 and
Solaris. Trying different access methods may come later, but one step
at a time.... I am at a loss why Sparc Solaris won't open some files
"properly". It just opens an icon editor; but the files will open on a
win98 machine. I'm no expert, but it seems similar to not having the
right program/dll, or something, in windows. Also, if you look at the
Install.pl file for smb2www, at the tail end, my Ultra 5 gives an
error for the "cp -v"s. I have substituted this for "-r"s. I have also
played with the Apache config file, httpd.conf, by using the single
amendments smb2www instructs, and by copying the Alias and ScriptAlias
details from other entries.
By various means, I have been able to put
"http://localhost/samba/smb2www.pl" in the netscape web browser, and
get a message saying "Access Forbidden". I have since reinstalled
smb2www, though, so now I only get "URL not found". This program
should be so good! Thanks for your help. I do appreciate it. Liam

Perl -v gives "This is perl, v5.6.1...".I don't know how to tell if
it's working properly, but the smb2www "perl Install.pl" seemed okay.
I don't know how to check if my web browser can execute perl scripts,
either, unfortunately. I assumed it did, simply because it came with
the operating system.
