nope, did not work :frowning:

any other idea?

btw: I followed this tutorial to set it up

I assume the path to smb client is not found or permission issue

Hello,

I am currently having the same issue as the OP, however, I am currently on FreeNAS 11.1

Any ideas on how to resolve this error?

Thanks

Hello. I had some problems with that and made long testing (on RHEL8 and Rocky8). It appears that removing php-smbclient do the trick somehow (php80-php-smbclient or php74-php-smbclient in case of multi install). So try to remove that library and restart Your php-fpm if You use one.
