I just downloaded and installed the cygwin implementation of
httpd2. I’m running Win2003 server. I wanted the cygwin version so I could use the “ln –s”
command to make files outside the directory available to the web server. (I don’t
know how to “ln –s” in windows otherwise). I used this trick
6 months ago on a WinXP Pro and it worked fine (but I might have been running
httpd2 from the cygwin bash command prompt in which case everyone would have
been running in the same account). The files I want accessible are on a $100 linksys NAS
controller running linux that are made accessible via samba. I can see these
files fine from the Windows Administrator account but apparently httpd2 cannot
because it says there are inaccessible. I then copied these files from the samba server to
c:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\My Documents” and decided I did
not want to grant “everyone” access to this directory. I moved them
to c:\temp and had the exact same problem, even after granting “everyone”
read access. When I finally moved them to the c:\cygwin\svr\www\htdocs
everything worked. But this is not what I wanted! What am I doing wrong? Does httpd2 have the ability to impersonate accounts like
IIS does? Thanks, Siegfried |
