I generally start by running testparm at the command line. If this runs then
at least I cn see the shares that are working and what defaults are being
used..
Second place I look is the sambapassword set-up. The things that seem to
interfere with samba running are not using an encrypted passwords flag in the
samba.conf file and then not adding the user names to the smbpasswfile
smbpasswd -a johndoe1
then following the prompt issu the appropriate password.
Whenever you make any changes remember to stop and then re-start samba.
