Hi Jim,

I missed this response earlier - sorry.

Could you please send the line from your conf file where you set the DocumentRoot?

Also, the log you sent is an apache access log - is there any information in the apache error log when you start up the server with the samba DocumentRoot?

As I understand things, apache on Windows will generally be happier with its DocumentRoot specified as \\server\share than as a mapped drive letter. This is because it runs as a service, and the mapped drive letters are typically only in play for active user sessions. So specifying things the former way might be something for you to try.

best,
jesse

Jesse,

Sorry for not being clear:

I am trying to use a Samba mounted filesystem as my DocumentRoot. I get the Apache test page telling me I have a problem with my Documentroot when I access the URL in the client browser. I don't see any error messages in the Windows logfile. Below is the Apache log file.

The browser and the server seem to be happy, they just don't serve up the index.html file in the Documentroot when it is a Samba mount. Changing DocumentRoot back to a filesystem on the server and restarting httpd I get the index.html file.
Thank you.

Hi Jim,

The only kind of filesystem anyone would ever use for a DocumentRoot was one which was mounted. By "mounted", do you mean that it's NFS? Samba? Automount of one of these?

Also, none of us can really tell you any specifics without details of what your problem is. What kind of error are you seeing? Can you supply the exact text of any browser messages or messages in your log file? The latter is especially important.

take care,
jesse

Hello,
Sorry if I have overlooked the answer in the archives but:
I've tried to use a mounted file system for my DocumentRoot to no avail.
Is there a way to do this?
Thanks for any feedback!
