I had samba installed on my fedora server and when it didn't work I tried to fix it by deleting the samba folder in /etc and reinstalling samba. Now after I install samba I can never get the service to start. The folder is never created in /etc. Please help me in completely removing samba and re-installing it.

Thank you.

  • Have you tried uninstalling Samba the same way you installed it? `yum remove` – uSlackr Nov 30 '16 at 17:00
  • hello @uSlackr , actually I used dnf and yes I tried removing it. Also I tried: 'dnf autoremove' . it still didn't work. – admdev Nov 30 '16 at 17:17
  • Did you get an error when the uninstall ran? – uSlackr Nov 30 '16 at 20:05
  • hello @uSlackr , no I didn't. Actually what I had to do is remove all dependencies by: dnf remove samba*, some how this removed a lot of packages that weren't removed before. when I tried to reinstall afterwards I noticed the download size is much larger than before. So now it's working again. – admdev Dec 01 '16 at 06:52
