DocumentRoot set to remote drive and service account

           Summary: DocumentRoot set to remote drive and service account

Please enter a new FAQ on setting DocumentRoot in the case of remote NTFS 
drives.

If you are using a remote drive, you must run the service as a user who has 
access
to the remote drive.  eg:

When you install apache on a PC, and the documentroot is on a fileserver, you
MUST go into the service panel, double click on Apache, select the Log On tab,
and set the login to

* This account     MYDOMAN\myusername

(use an account with access to the drive),  and give your account password.  If 
you
don't, the web server does not have access to the path in the httpd.conf file! 
 You then
restart the server to run as the new user.


If the user does not set up the service correctly, he can read through the 
books on
the httpd.conf file until he is blue in the face and never get remote drives to 
work
(since the problem is not in the file :-)  The default install sets up the
service, and
does not ask or otherwise warn about this feature.

If this is entered somewhere, it's hidden very well!
