Anyone know Apache?

[Kelly_]

All I want to know is how to set up an alias to a mapped network drive!!

So far i have the code for the alias in the http.conf file, but its just not working... probably permissions or something....

Alias /somefolder "X:/some/folder/"

I accept paypal.. nochex, etc..

yep done that.... still wont work tho

think its because the default account which the apache services uses doesnt have permission to access networks

 

[MikeDX]

Is this on windows 2003 server?

xp pro

used the network name

//shared/www and its nearly there

fairly sure its a permissions thing now

 

[MikeDX]

on the other machine, set the permissions to allow read access to all and it should be fine.

 

[Kelly_]

The permissions are all set ok, read/write etc

No passwords or anything

I appreciate you trying Mike!

fecking firewall on my PC - cos I formatted it last night I forgot to allow network access!!!!!

then instead of referring to the mapped network drive, I used

//MARGE/share/www

(ie: the disc drive name)

it was me looking @ permissions that made me realise id left out the network!

Thanks Mike, you were v helpful.

You are welcome, I'm glad you got it all sorted!

Now I've got to go and attack IIS!
