[Samba] Swat, not there

[Kevin C McCarty]

Hey John,    here is what I asked yesterday:::::::

*******************************************************************************************
Hello list! 

Been contemplating the idea of joining for a long time,,,,,,,so it's good 
to be here.

Well I guess now is as good a time as any to pose a question.     After 
reading the Faq's, I didn't find the answer...... 

Question:    when opening the browser to view xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:901   the 
error "the directory is empty" comes up.   I have xinetd .d  loaded, 
started, chkconfig --level 35 swat on     ,,,,,,,    testparm says things 
are there.......     Samba is loaded,  /usr/sbin has the daemon, nmbd and 
smbd are started,, web server works, no restrictions.......(apache 2) rpm 
-qa show samba and swat both installed........

I need to take a step back and think for a bit, because I am confused, 
just want to use SWAT. 



Any help is appreciated! 
Have a good day.

So today in /etc/xinetd.d/swat  I changed the value from localhost to the 
static IP address and now 901 has a non null directory. 
cheers

Ok. Here is a response. We all saw your request yesterday, but put
yourself in our position. How would you answer?

>From your posting it is not at all clear:

1. What is your platform?
2. What version of Samba?
3. Is this from a publicly available binary package?
                 - if so, how did you install it?
                 - what did you install?
4. Did you build the package yourself?
                 - if so, how did you install it?
                 - what did you do to enable SWAT?
5. What have you done so far to try to trace the cause of the problem?

When I see a posting like yours my observation is that you have not done
anything to help us to help you. Sorry to be so blunt.
