Re: [Bobs-devel] error during check configuration

[AWC M. L. <mai...@aw...>]

I just ran across something familiar.  Check to ensure that the machine 
with bobs installed actually has created the directory being mapped to.

Check the line before your error message for creating the mount.  Get to 
a command prompt and try and enter the command yourself.  Substitute 
what your server suggests.  I had something similar to:

smbmount "//servername/bobs" 
"/var/bobsdata/current/process/mounts/backup/Shared" -o 
username=something,password='here' &>/dev/null 	

I actually received an error message when I entered this command even 
though bobs said it was fine.

In my case the directory: 
"/var/bobsdata/current/process/mounts/backup/Shared" did not exist. 
Bobs did not seem to create it. So I created the directory and I could 
mount the remote dictory successfully.

Next I tried copying a file to
"/var/bobsdata/current/process/mounts/backup/Shared" logged in with the 
username above.  (Not as root.)

I ended up getting rights errors where I could not copy the file across. 
  So I corrected that as well.

Once all that was done I was able to get a backup running.
