Configuring Popcorn Hour's NFS Server?

[edgett]

I have found plenty of documentation on how to connect the Popcorn Hour to an external NFS share, but no documentation on connecting to the Popcorn Hour's NFS SERVER from another device.

I am trying to connect to the Popcorn Hour over NFS from another media device running XBMC. I can see the Popcorn Hour's IP address and can see the two drives (one internal and one external), but I can not connect to either one.

I am guessing this is due to some security setting?

Is there any way to enable the unsecured ports, etc. referenced on this page: http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=NFS..._with_XBMC

Your guess is correct. In order for XBMC to mount nfs shares off the popcorn hour you have to configure the popcorn ssh server to allow insecure access. This is how I did it on my Popcornhour A-100:

• Login to you Popcorn hour via telnet or ssh
• Take a look at the file /etc/export
  
  Code:
  

  cat /etc/exports
  /share 192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0(rw,sync,root_squash,anonuid=1001,anongid=1001)
• Use vi to add 'insecure,' to the share config.
  
  Code:
  

  vi /etc/exports
  /volume1/Media *(ro,async,no_wdelay,no_root_squash,insecure,anonuid=0,anongid=0)
• Restart nfs service
  
  Code:
  

  exportfs -ra

Now you should be able to mount and play everything on your popcornhours HardDrive via nfs using XBMC on your new popcorn-hour-replacement
