Hi!

 Your logfile says a lot:

>   Unable to open new log file /var/log/samba/log.linux: No
> such file or directory

Does this directory/path exist ? From the errors it looks like the directory
named samba doesn't exist in /var/log

>   params.c:OpenConfFile() - Unable to open configuration file
> "/etc/samba/smb.conf":
>         No such file or directory

Is your configuration file located as /etc/samba/smb.conf ? If not, place it
there.
