More newb help - CIFS shares not working

[jeremyjo]

I've been fiddling with this FreeNas/HP Proliant setting for a while now and I seem to have AFP shares working, but no matter what I do, CIFS shares won't turn on. They WERE on before, but I messed something up and now I can't turn CIFS back on.

When I try, I see an error in the log saying

Dec 5 15:25:34 KCCMedia notifier: smbd not running? (check /var/run/samba/smbd.pid).
Dec 5 15:25:34 KCCMedia notifier: nmbd not running? (check /var/run/samba/nmbd.pid).
Dec 5 15:25:34 KCCMedia notifier: Performing sanity check on Samba configuration: FAILED

I have tried new users, new groups, Nobody, NoGroup, guest, Guest everything I know to try (which is very little) to no avail.

Sorry if I'm not very experienced, but the hardware seems fine. I can move data using AFP, but I need access from Windows machines too.

Thank you

Jeremy

Sorry, FreeNAS-8.3.0-RELEASE-x64 (r12701M), HP Proliant Microserver.

FreeNas is running off USB key on internal plug to allow all four drive bays to be used (eventually). Two 3-TB drives in ZFS, mirrored configuration.

GUI seems to work normally, all controls seem available. I've rebooted at least once. I'm not, so far, intending to stream media as much as just use the system as a file server on a church campus.
