Thread: Can't install samba

i uninstalled samba command

code:

sudo apt-get remove samba

after removed samba folder "/etc"

code:

rm "."

so when try install samba there no "/etc/samba" folder. please me reinstall samba.

best regards
in advance

the /etc/samba directory should present, if haven't yet installed samba. in future, rather removing applications , trying manually remove associated configuration files, purge application this:

code:

sudo apt-get purge application-name

that ensure don't remove wrong files.

if trying install samba throws error complaining there no /etc/samba directory, see if work empty directory:

code:

sudo mkdir /etc/samba  sudo apt-get install samba
