Issues with saving config

NethServer Version: 7.3.1611 (rc3)
Hi I have installed a new Nethserver on my box.
When I was done installing my network did not receive an IP address, so I had to add one with ifconfig command.
Not sure if that is relevant but hey.

The server works okay, but I have some issues. special related to network and samba
If I update either a samba share or network connection I get an error message briefly.
I tried to capture it. but its a bit weak since it dissapeared fast.

I can change the network settings like DHCP or Static.
But samba will not update.
I can create a share but can’t find it on the network after.
if I browse the server it has no shares.

Anyone have any idea.
I don’t want to reinstall the server, because I need to have this server online as close to 100%

I don’t how it happened, but it seems that enp60 is not configured properly.

Execute this from command line:

db networks setprop enp6s0 role ''
signal-event interface-update

If you still are expiring issues, please send the relevant part from /var/log/messages.

and voila it works properly again.
Thanks :smiley:
Now the enp6s0 is un-configured.
So was probably that who caused the problem.
the smb.conf is now updating just fine :slight_smile:

Well at least I’m learning something more all the time about nethserver and CentOS :slight_smile:
