I asked this a couple of days ago, but have not seen any replies to it. If this is not the correct forum to ask such questions, could someone direct me to a more appropriate one? Essentially, we have a need to serve pages from user home filestore, where; - The home filestore is on a Windows filesystem, visible via CIFS. - The location of a given user's home filestore is stored in their Active Directory object as a UNC path. - There is no single path that could access any user's filestore simply by substituting a wildcard with the username. i.e. //server/share/*/public_html is not a viable approach, because server and share will not be the same for all users. We don't think we can resolve this with DFS. - The number of users involved is large (1000's). We had assumed that to get this to work, apache itself would have to be running on windows, but this is incidental. If apache on some other platform can do the above, we're interested. We're currently doing the equivalent with netware filestore, and apache on netware, and are keen to retain this ability as we move to a windows backend and windows filestore. Any advice gratefully received...
