Just install samba server:
apt-get install samba
edit the config:
nano /etc/samba/smb.conf
set security to “share”
security = share
and guest account to nobody
guest account = nobody
then you just need to create your share like this:
[guest share]
comment = a guest share
path = /path/to/files
browseable = yes
read only = yes
guest ok = yes
I know I did this the hard way. there is a command that you can issue that will convert them on the fly. what I did was mysqldump the database, reinstall mysql(because of other reasons), and then edit the dump so that the line that specified the engine reads “ENGINE=INNODB” instead of “ENGINE=MyISAM”.Then I imported the dump.
I was getting annoyed that when listing my tables in phpmyadmin, it would show the list of tables in InnoDB (which is what i wanted), but then, when showing the summary at the bottom of the page, said “MyIsam”. I easily got rid of it by adding “default-storage-engine=InnoDB” to my “my.cnf” file.
Screwed around for a bit. messed up MySQL. I decided to remove –purge, and start fresh. Unfortunately, the reinstall wouldn’t work. Long story short, i had to remove “mysql-server, mysql-server-5.0, and mysql-common”. when i ran this, it also pulled out other dependencies, but i just reinstalled them all. voila! worky.
when running an update:
sudo aptitude
Ouch! Got SIGSEGV, dying..
apparently, just remove some files:
sudo rm /var/cache/apt/*.bin
now everything is back to normal.
