[users@httpd] Aliasing to NetWare Files

I'm running Apache 2.0.58 on a Windows XP PRO box. On Windows, some 
drive letters (R: for instance) are mapped to a Novell Netware file 
system. I'm also using Novell Netware Client 4.90 SP2.

Then, I'm trying to define some aliases to local drives (C:) and others 
to remote drives (R:). Local drives aliases are working OK but, remote 
drives, that is, aliases to Novell Netware drives are not.

Is there some trick or some module I'm missing ? Do you have a similar 
setup ? Does it work or is it really a problem ?

Just in case you want to see my configuration file, get it from here, 
will you ?

Thanks in advance 4 your support !

That's it. I ran Apache as console mode and it worked fine.

However, now I have another problem : since I'm coming from a Windows 
culture, where uppercase/lowercase are irrelevant, I have many aliases 
wrotten in mixed cases.

IOW, developers never payed attention to this and I have very different 
spellings for the same alias.

Any hints no that ? Will I have to review all of my pages to standardize 
the case ?

Never having run Apache on Windows, I'd have a guess that the drives are
mapped for the logged in user and not the service.  Therefore Apache
cannot reference the drives in question.

You may be able to map the drives for the system but I'll leave it up to
someone else to advise on that (if it is possible).
