I'm running Apache 2.2 on XP, and the local paths are fine, but when I add UNC shares, everything falls apart. This is from my Application Log:
| Code: | The Apache service reported the following error:
>> Syntax error on line 290 of C:/Apache2.2/conf/httpd.conf:
>>> <Directory "//server/project/"> path is invalid. |
This is from my httpd.conf:
| Code: | Alias /project/ //server/project/
<Directory "//server/project/">
Options Indexes MultiViews
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory> |
I've tried playing musical chairs with the quotes and trailing slashes and nothing seems to be working, and it's REALLY starting to piss me off! 
Any thoughts or suggestions? Everything I've found on google says "use the UNC pathname, not the Win32 mapped share name!" which as you can see, I've done. I've also mapped //server/project/ to Z:/ and tried that with only abysmal failure too. |

Incidentally, if I comment out the UNC maps, it works fine:
| Code: | #Alias /project/ //server/project/
#<Directory "//server/project/">
# Options Indexes MultiViews
# AllowOverride None
# Order allow,deny
# Allow from all
#</Directory> |

| Run the Apache service as a user not as SYSTEM which is the default. Said user has to be on the server as well as any other computers whose share/s you want to tap from. |
