Hey everyone, I finally got the whole setup working splendidly! Thank you so much for your help! My procedure: 1. I granted mysql permission to 'user'@'localhost' as well as 'user'@'%' (because the % is required for access from any computer besides the server, as noted in the linked page). 2. I reco...

I can indeed see the shares via My Computer.

I used mysqldump to back up the database and then put it on my samba share (which is the same system as the database server). I then did a restore using the mysql command line client.

I've found out the problem: there was a firewall blocking the port used by smb. Now I have my samba and mysql running, what do I do next? I can't seem to find a good resource for this.

Thanks!

Hi all, I'm setting up an Open Dental server using Linux (CentOS 5.2). I've set up the samba server properly (I think), but for some reason I can't access it from my Windows workstations (the network path was not found). My network works fine (I checked using ping), so other than a misconfigured smb...

Hi everyone, I recently purchased the full version of Open Dental. I received in my e-mail the installation code. I understand that CDs are not usually shipped, but I can't find the download on the Open Dental site. I assume that I'm supposed to install the trial version and then update it from ther...
