I'm working in a corporate environment. For development I run a single-user Apache HTTP server on my own computer. However, I want to define the document space on a drive that is mapped to the company's file server so that it will get backed up automatically.
When I try to do this, I get an error dialog that says "The requested operation has failed!" Apache does not start. There are no entries in access.log or error.log.
When I define the document space on my local disk, Apache starts normally.
The environment is Apache 2.2.22 under Windows 7.
Two questions.
Is there a way to define a document space on a mapped drive?
Is there a way to diagnose a "failure to launch" when the log files don't say anything? |

| If you wanna have the document root on the network drive and installed apache as service, you have to use a other user than the default service one. Cause the default one is not allowed to access the network. |
