Hi Karl,
Thanks for your response. 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.

Hi Craig,
'FYI, I can get the Fileshare repository connector to work, but it is buggy and
doesn’t do all that I need.'
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.
Thanks,
Karl

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. I
am using manifoldcf version 2.12 and simply running the example from the
command prompt in windows. I have previously set this up successfully on a
linux box connecting to the windows share, but this is not an option for my
current project.
Thanks for your help!
Craig.
