Remember you aren't living in the GUI. You don't have explorer.exe in place as a service, so your environmental consideration are missing. NOW - it's rather trivial if you 1. set your run-as account to an authorized file user of those network resources (workgroup, or nt domain member). NEVER use LocalSystem aka SYSTEM account for this purpose, or change it's permissions. 2. use absolute file syntax instead of drive letters. E.g., for S: mounted from \\bigbertha\cdrive\ copy of htdocs, you would use Alias /docs/ //bigbertha/cdrive/htdocs/ and the same, for the <Directory > sections, DocumentRoot, etc. --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
