RE: setup Windows share repository connector on local machine
Hi Karl, As an update, I have the Windows share repository connector working connecting to another windows machine. It is not what I wanted, but it is working. So if you have any direction on getting the Windows share connectors connecting to a share on the same machine, I would appreciate it, because the File system repository connector tends to fail in many scenarios that the Windows share repository works for (specifically non-alphanumeric characters in paths). And thanks again for your quick response, it is much appreciated! Cheers, Craig.

My apologies, I meant to refer to the ‘File system’ repository connector type as the one that is working, but is not doing everything I would like it to. I do have a share setup on my computer, it is just that I can’t get the Windows share repository connector to connect to my computer (I am most likely entering some settings – e.g. the server name - incorrectly). For the server I have tried my computer’s name, localhost, ip address, 127.0.0.1, none of which work, by which I mean after I save the repository connector settings, the Connection status is in an error state (“Couldn’t connect to server”). In combination with this, I have added fully qualified domain names, as well as unqualified domain names. So I am looking for direction on how to set these parameters correctly, unless I am misunderstanding something. Thanks, Craig.

We don't actually have a "Fileshare" repository connector, so I am not sure what you are talking about here. And if you have bugs to report, please do so. The paths that you use for windows shares depend on having a share actually published by your local system. Setting up a share of a specific folder on windows is not within the scope of advice I can really offer. But if you do not need document security, you can always use the File System Connector, which just reads files and does not go via windows shares.

setup Windows share repository connector on local machine
Hello, I am trying to get a Windows share repository connector to crawl files on my local Windows 10 machine (to index into solr for some text analytics). Currently after I setup the Windows share repository connector and save it, the connection status states "Error" and one of a few different messages depending on how I entered the server and domain names. What is the proper way to enter the server and domain for this case (I have tried my local machine name qualified and unqualified, localhost, ip address). FYI, I can get the Fileshare repository connector to work, but it is buggy and doesn't do all that I need.
