Description Matthias Clasen 2008-03-14 15:57:50 UTC 
I turned on "Share public files" in the capplet.
And ps shows that httpd has been started.

But the share does not show up in the nautilus network window.
I have tried to 
- restart nautilus
- kill all gvfs backends
- disable the firewall

with no change

Works when the firewall is disabled _before_ starting the service.

I can see the service with "avahi-browse _webdav._tcp"
Comment 2 Christian Nolte 2008-06-17 21:22:01 UTC 
I can confirm this:

 1) open port 5353
 2) restart avahi-daemon
 3) publish the share

I would say that this is more an avahi issue or a configuration problem of the distribution (I use F9) than a problem which involves nautilus.
Comment 3 Baptiste Mille-Mathias 2008-12-24 07:34:55 UTC 
This is true the share won't show in Nautilus network all the time, need to figure out what happen.

I confirm the bug.
Comment 4 Bastien Nocera 2008-12-25 15:49:01 UTC 
I still think it's a problem with the interaction of Avahi and firewalls, which is why I'm not putting any effort into fixing this in gnome-user-share itself.

Might be good to add some debug to create_service() in http.c and check whether publication actually works with a blocked firewall, and whether Avahi tells us publication doesn't work. If not, nothing we can do here, and if so, we probably need to retry a bit harder to export the share later on.
Comment 5 Bastien Nocera 2013-02-21 10:39:25 UTC 
Avahi is unblocked by default with firewalld. That leaves the service itself, which should poke a hole in the firewall.
