    Configuring Access to Network Resources

    + + +

    Access to files over the network can be specified using two + mechanisms provided by Windows:

    + +
    +
    Mapped drive letters
    +
    e.g., Alias /images/ Z:/
    + +
    UNC paths
    +
    e.g., Alias /images/ //imagehost/www/images/
    +
    + +

    Mapped drive letters allow the administrator to maintain the + mapping to a specific machine and path outside of the Apache httpd + configuration. However, these mappings are associated only with + interactive sessions and are not directly available to Apache httpd + when it is started as a service. Use only UNC paths for + network resources in httpd.conf so that the resources can + be accessed consistently regardless of how Apache httpd is started. + (Arcane and error prone procedures may work around the restriction + on mapped drive letters, but this is not recommended.)

    + +

    Example directives with UNC paths

    + + DocumentRoot //dochost/www/html/
    +
    + DocumentRoot //192.168.1.50/docs/
    +
    + Alias /images/ //imagehost/www/images/
    +
    + <Directory //imagehost/www/images/>
    + ...
    + <Directory>
    +

    + +

    When running Apache httpd as a service, you must create a + separate account in order to access network resources, as described + above.
