Starting SWAT driving me nuts!!!!!

Ok, after a long struggle with the installation of Samba (Im a n00b, dont flame), I finally got to see the files in my Win2000 PC.

But! I want to be able to use SWAT; I know. It more n00bish, but anyways, I just want it to work!

I followed the steps shown here: http://samba.linuxbe.org/en/samba/learn/swat.html

I have RedHat BTW. And yes, I did configure that xinetd.
Sooooo, everytime I type http://localhost:901 I never get it!

Can anyone help me? 🙁
 
Someone just told me that I need a webserver to be able to run it (Im guessing something like Apache?)
Is this true?
 
You don't have to have apache running to use swat.

By default swat isn't enabled and accessible from linux computer only.

0. su root

1. Open file /etc/xinetd.d/swat

# disable = yes
# only_from = localhost

This will enable swat and let anybody access it

2. /etc/init.d/xinetd reload

3. access this url from any machine on LAN : http://IP_ADDRESS_OF_LINUX_MACHINE:901 and enter root and root_password.
You can also use http://localhost:901 if you access it form the same linux machine.

You are set

p.s. Do not use swat. Simply edit /etc/samba/smb.conf - it is way easiers.
p.p.s Use mc to navigate and edit messages (until you are confortable with vi )

You might wanna restrict access to swat to computers from local subnet. For example, if your subnet mask is 255.255.255.0 (IP adresses are 192.168.1.xxx) put only_from 192.168.1.0
To access from localhost only - only_from localhost
