[SOLVED] External Storage with Samba does not connect

[Schuldi]

Hey,
I just set up a nextcloud (17.0.1) on Ubuntu 19.10 Server (Apache2, MariaDB, PHP7.3).
Unfortunately I can not get external storage support with SMB working. While entering the needed credentials I always get the red icon. smbclient and php-smbclient are installed.

Testing the SMB connetion via Commandline Interface is working. Testing with a small php-script I found in this forum ist working aswell. If I use the SMB-Connection Test-App the directory listing is empty.

The nextcloud Log is empty and does not list any SMB related Errors. If you need further information I will be happy to supply them. Thanks for your answers.

Same issue here:
NC: 17.0.1
Host: Debian 10 (Docker - Nextcloud:17-fpm)

Everything works from CLI using SMBCLIENT, etc. Running in the GUI errors out.

Getting the error below:
Error while loading share content.

I found a solution here:

Externer Speicher immer Rotes Schild

Guten abend zusammen, ich hoffe ihr könnt mir helfen … Ich habe einen OMV server seit einiger zeit im keller stehen und dort natürlich NC 16 installiert läuft auch alles super … nun habe ich für meinen nachbarn ne externe usb festplatte an den server gesteckt diese eingebunden und freigaben erstellt und ebenfalls auch benutzer für diese festplatte bei meinem ersten versuch die platte über erternen speucher in NC einzubinden klappte das auch problemlos also über SMB. Ich hatte nur einen user …

now it is working again!

Do you know Google translator?

1. Change to the directory /apps/files_external/lib/Lib/Backend.
2. Create a backup copy of the relevant file cp -p SMB.php SMB.php.ORG
3. Search for the following line in SMB.php

   56:  (new DefinitionParameter('timeout', $l->t('Timeout')))      
   57:               ->setType(DefinitionParameter::VALUE_HIDDEN) 
   58: ])
   

   and insert this line below line 57:

                     ->setFlag(DefinitionParameter::FLAG_OPTIONAL),
   

After you’ve applied the change you should be able to enhance/modify the externa storage again (There is usually no need to restart Nextcloud).

I added that definition parameter, restarted ubuntu and still get the same error as Cybersecfun.

icewind’s example.php composer test works fine as well as smbclient through terminal, but i’ve spent days on this and can’t get my windows server shares to mount
