What OS are you using and how are you mounting the drive? But in any case, this is clearly the same issue as is discussed here: http://wiki.apache.org/httpd/13PermissionDenied It is not a question of Apache not being able to handle the drive, but simply of your permissions being set such that the apache User/Group doesn't have access. As mentioned on the wiki page, you need to check not only /data/holding but also /data. If the User/Group specified in httpd.conf doesn't have search permission (chmod +x) on that directory, it can't get to the subdirectory.
