 Posted: Sat 14 Oct '06 16:42 Post subject: Can you point Apache to a samba share on another computer? |
 |
|
Hi,
Im running apache on Windows XP. I have a FC4 box with a Samba share I can see fine from my windows machine. In httpd.conf what should I type in order to share files from that directory? The bolded part in the container is what im trying to figure out.
Ex. When I go to Start|Run , and type \\192.168.0.8\bigwig\ it links me to that directory.
<Directory "c://192.168.0.8/bigwig/">
AllowOverride None
Options None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
Any help is much appreciated. I hope its something as simple as what im thinking but I know from experience it almost never works out that way lol...

| As far as i know Apache can't access a samba share, it can access network drivers so you have to mount it as such e.g. mount it on z: |

I agree, make a 'mapped network drive' out of the samaba share on your winxp box and replace c://192.168.0.8/bigwig/ with it's address
btw... an ip cannot be located on your c drive

Another way to do this is to use four backslashes to represent the Windows UNC name:
| Quote: |
<Alias /bigwig "\\\\192.168.0.8/bigwig"
<Directory "\\\\192.168.0.8/bigwig">
AllowOverride None
Options None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory> |
Performance is likely to be a problem unless this is a low-volume site.
Just checking a file's timestamp will require a network round-trip from your Apache server to 192.168.0.8.

@james blonde: that's a nice setup for proxying it! but I don't know if SAMBA shares have an http output? I don't know, feel free to correct me here

Thanks! I tried it, but I didnt get it to work yet. I do have one question. Where you have Fritz there, is that supposed to be my machine name (The machine Apache is running on) or is that the name of a directory on my local machine. Im trying to figure out what goes there. Also, when I downloaded the module it said create a directory called mod_proxy_html in the modules directory then place all the files in there. I did that but when I looked at your code it looks like it is expecting those files to be in the main modules directory.

p.s. Thanks for that tip too! |

I should have correct fritz. Opps! Th location fritz does not exist real! It is an virtual location that is created by Apache so I can access the it by
http://localhost/fritz
And of cause it should be bigwig in the location instead of fritz *g*
The name of the location should match to the ProxyPass.
I wonder that it did not work to map a networkdrive to the samba and than create the Alias bigwig to that.
<Alias /bigwig "Z:\"
<Directory "Z:\">
AllowOverride None
Options None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory> |
