I have windows XP SP2 and have just upgraded to Apache 2.2.8 and have all of the settings running for my existing websites on local hard drives. However, due to a large increase in multimedia content I have added a 2TB NAS device and have it mapped as a drive letter 'L:' for the local machine that Apache is running on. When I change the DocumentRoot in the virtualhost (httpd-vhosts.conf) and under httpd.conf to read as: DocumentRoot "L:/test" When I compile the configs it checks out ok. Then when starting the Apache server I get a popup box stating that "requested operation has failed". Then when checking the error logs I see the message that: "Syntax error on line 246 of E:/AppServ/Apache 2.2.8/conf/httpd.conf: <Directory "L:/test"> path is invalid." Is there no way to reference to a network mapped device that Apache will accept? Normally I would direct reference the local NAS device IP via \\<NAS IP>\share\test\ but I am unsure how that would be entered for Apache. Thoughts? Thanks.
