>Subject: Apache issue with NFS mount
>
>Hi there,
>
>I have an Apache instance (2.0.52) running on RHEL4 built for x86_64.
>This server is largely running just fine, except for one issue that I
>have encountered in the last couple of days.
>
>I wish to serve a bunch of material from a folder that is mounted as an
>NFS share. Apache can see the mount point as a folder before the mount
>has taken place - it appears in the fancy index for the parent folder.
>However, as soon as I actually carry out the mount, the folder
>disappears from the index and I get a 403 returned when I actually try
>to look directly at the folder. From the Command Line, I can view and
>manipulate the data seamlessly.
>
>The fstab mount line looks like:
>1.2.3.4:/foo/bar /var/www/html/content nfs user,rw,auto,async
>
>I have tried setting the owner of the files to user 'apache', and this
>was correctly applied to the NFS Server as well but no joy.
>
>Does anyone have any thoughts as to why this might be happening? I
>thought that NFS was supposed to be seamless - so I am rather confused
>as to why Apache is seeing a difference between regular folders and
>NFS-mounted ones!
>
>Many thanks in advance.
