Start NFS services:
# service rpcbind start # chkconfig rpcbind on # service nfs start # chkconfig nfs on
Edit server configuration files:
/etc/exports
/path/to/shared/directory/ hostname(options)
/etc/hosts.allow(optional)/etc/hosts.deny(optional)
Restart NFS:
# service nfs restart
Fixing firewall errors
Connection timeout error means that the firewall is blocking NFS on the server machine.
Edit /etc/sysconfig/iptables
-A INPUT -m state --state NEW -m tcp -p tcp --dport 2049 -j ACCEPT -A INPUT -m state --state NEW -m tcp -p tcp --dport 111 -j ACCEPT -A INPUT -m state --state NEW -m tcp -p tcp --dport 32803 -j ACCEPT -A INPUT -m state --state NEW -m tcp -p tcp --dport 892 -j ACCEPT -A INPUT -m state --state NEW -m tcp -p tcp --dport 875 -j ACCEPT -A INPUT -m state --state NEW -m tcp -p tcp --dport 662 -j ACCEPT
then restart iptables service,
# service iptables restart
