Try to troubleshoot it with help of Samba section in article http://kb.parallels.com/111283

This is os-specific problem on ubuntu 12.
Plesk developers are notified and will resolve the issue.

As a workaround you can create symlink for samba script:
ln -s /etc/init.d/smbd /etc/init.d/samba

Thank You.
However at this time PLESK gives an answer on switching on:
"Information: Samba File Server was switched on."
but the button "Switch On" still shows "Switch On", no "Switch Off".
Samba is not running anyway. (i cant see it in the localnet).
But samba and smbd is running:
6433 ? Ss 0:00 samba
6435 ? S 0:00 samba
6436 ? S 0:07 samba
6437 ? S 0:00 samba
6443 ? S 0:00 samba
6445 ? S 0:00 samba
22286 ? Ss 0:00 smbd -F
22288 ? S 0:00 smbd -F

nmbd service should be runned too.

I have wrote a simple script /etc/init.d/samba (instead of symlink as I said before):

#!/bin/bash
service smbd $1
service nmbd $1

And it works for me.

 

[Aven]

and it works also for me
Thank You.

Hello I have problem with samba fileserver connecting over VPN. The VPN connection is ready but when I will connect my windows 7 64bit client to the root server it brokes the connection. I use openSuSE 12.1 86x64 and Plesk 11. I used samba fileserver with plesk 8 and 9 and there are no problem been.

i have the exact same issue on a clean install on centos 6.5 64bit



Later edit, it does like this because the panel starts only the smbd service leaving nmbd stopped.
