"When running Apache httpd as a service, you must create a separate account in order to access network resources, as described above." I've already done this per my original post: " I'm running apache as an active directory account (ourdomain\apache)". I can access the resource as the apache user (at least interactively). Perhaps the issue is interactive vs non-interactively accessing it? -----Original Message----- From: Jeff Trawick [mailto:trawick@xxxxxxxxx] Sent: Friday, September 28, 2012 4:55 PM To: users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: Apache on Windows NFS Mount On Fri, Sep 28, 2012 at 4:50 PM, Brad Baker <Brad.Baker@xxxxxxx> wrote: > Thanks but this is for UNC/SMB/CIFS (which I already have working - > albeit performance is awful). I'm trying to use NFS. It seems that you have some shared symptoms -- the service environment you're using isn't aware of that mapped drive. "When running Apache httpd as a service, you must create a separate account in order to access network resources, as described above."
