[users@httpd] Does Apache support UNC path syntax on windows?

["Chen, Charles" <Ch...@vignette.com>]

I tried to define the DocumentRoot using a UNC path on windows (such as
"\\remoteserver\sharename", instead of "Y:") and apache seems not to be
able to interpret it as a network shared drive. Any idea how to get this
to work?

To do what? Give example of input URL and desired output URL.

In what way? What do you want to happen, what actaully happens?

It is far from clear what you are trying to achieve and what effects you
are seeing. The error message may or may not be connected to the
problem, but since the problem is under-defined, it's not possible to
say if it's relevant.

Other tips:

- put "RewriteEngine on" before any other rewrite directives
- keep it simple to start with; do you really need to invoke symlinks
right away? Try to get it "working" with static files before folding in
additional complications.
- ditto for "Deny from env=anonymous_spider"
