Hello Greg,
I think that it is the account that the IIS service runs in that needs
to be allowed access to the network share. So either you have to
reconfigure the IIS server to run as your user (which brings up a whole
new set of trouble :-() or open the share to the local IIS service account.
Your trouble is windows only and mainly an authorization issue unrelated
to mapserver.
See if you can get in touch with a good system Windows administrator to
testdrive various settings.
If none of this works out, I know of ways to open up postGIS accross the
windows network which might be a last resort.
Good luck!

Hello List,
I am trying to set up a MAP file to use a network share for the files that for
various reasons I can’t get into PostgreSQL, etc… i.e., so that we only have
one copy of the data being used internally and on the web, etc
I proceeded as follows
- Using IIS on a Windoze box (yeah, yeah, grin) set up a virtual directory to
a network share using a UNC path \\server\directory that I use all the time
with ArcGIS, etc – called it wms_data
- Added my credentials in the ‘Connect As’ in IIS
- Used the explore in the IIS MMC and confirmed I could browse the data there
- Confirmed that the directories had the relevant web access permissions
- Charged the relevant line in my MAP file to → SHAPEPATH "/wms_data/"
- Changed the layer’s data pointer to → DATA "subdirectory/sameshapefilename"
* When I now load the page it says it can’t find the layer’s data! Ugh! *
Note that if I use a local (i.e., C:\...\...\) path for the data and in the MAP
file it works just fine… Also, want to look at MrSIDs the same way, which again
works just fine using a C:\ path…
Note that I know enough about IIS to be dangerous! ☺
Thanks in advance for your help
