I just set up Apache 2.2.4 on a Windows XP system (from the current
.msi), and I thought I’d share my findings about using mapped network drives. On my old W2K system, I could succesfully Alias to my mapped
drives by logging in the Apache service using my account, or a special “apache”
account that the IT people had set up for me. But in XP (SP2), it just
wouldn’t work – the Aliased resource was “not found on the
server.”. I still don’t know why. I tried an older Apache ZIP
distro (ABOUT_APACHE.TXT said “February 2002”) on the same PC, installing
it directly as files and folders, and I had the same problem. I tried the
current .msi on a second XP system, with the same disappointing result. If anyone else is trying to deal with this, one workaround is
to turn the Apache service off and run httpd.exe in a command-prompt window
instead. That worked for me. I’ve added the httpd.exe to my startup folder. |
