Hi, I am running RedHat EL AS 4.0, Apache 2.0.52, fully patched. I have a Windows 2003 server with a share that contains documents for the website. I mount the windows share using the following line in fstab: //192.xxx.xxx.xxx/web_documents /var/www/html/documents cifs fmask=755,dmask=755,user,auto,credentials=/root/.webpasswd,uid=67,gid=67 0 0 The mount works correctly. On my system, 67 is the uid and gid for apache. I can log into the box as an unprivileged user, cd into the directory and read the files with no problem. If I open konq and type in file:///var/www/html/documents/index.html, konq opens the file with no problem. If I try http://localhost/documents/index.html, I get: Forbidden You don't have permission to access /documents on this server. Additionally, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request. I read that Apache might have problems accessing mounted drives, but not links to mounted drives, so I changed the mount point to /var/www/documents and did an ln -s /var/www/documents /var/www/html/documents, but I get exactly the same result. Any ideas? In theory, this should be possible, but I can't figure out what I've messed up.
