Problem: httpd.exe (2.4.62 64bit) doesn't start if config located on network smb share. (ex. \\server\folder\httpd.conf)


How to re-play: Get zip archive from the site. Use standard settings and add below a string with include

Code:
Include "//DESKTOP-C70CLDM/nomad/conf/test.conf"


Start httpd with command from local user.

Code:
PS C:\Apache24\bin> .\httpd.exe -e trace8


Code:

Same errors on Windows Server 2019 and Windows Pro 10 systems

In the httpd 2.4.55 everything starts correct.

That is not an apache problem, but the windows service account. It is not allowed by default to access network drives. Create a local user that is allowed to access the network drive and change the settings of the apache service account to that new account. Restart apache

Yes, I figured out this topic firstly, but I think it is a different kind.

You are right, from service account it is not allowed, so I run httpd exactly from local user and test access to share from this user before.

I confirm that I have the exact same problem.
My config was also working fine in 2.4.57 and httpd.exe doesn't start after updating in 2.4.62

@Steffen can you share a build with the below patch? I am not sure why -C didn't work so my confidence is not too high.

Code:

I'v done test. It works in both cases:

1. When start httpd with local config (ex. c:\apache24\conf\httpd.conf) which include smb shares inside.
2. httpd.exe with -C directive

Code:
 httpd -f "//DESKTOP-C70CLDM/nomad/conf/httpd.conf" -C "UNCList DESKTOP-C70CLDM"
