I have tried to do this for years and it always fails.  I keep hoping a
version of Apache httpd for Win32 will finally recognize mapped drives
but so far, no matter how I setup permissions and accounts, it doesn't
work.

If anyone has this working and can walk "us" through the steps I know I
would greatly appreciate it.

Subject: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Running Apache with DocumentRoot on a Mapped
Drive

Is it possible to run Apache Win32 with a DocumentRoot pointing to a
network drive? The servers are on a Workgroup (one with data content and
the other running Apache) and I have setup identical users on both
systems with local admin rights. I have set the Apache service to use
this local user but the service fails to start. The drive is mapped and
I am able to run Apache from the console but it doesn't seem to want to
load using a mapped drive and my guess is that it's due to permissions
issue. I have read this works with servers in the same domain and was
wondering if this was possible with servers in a workgroup
(stand-alone). Thanx.
