Apache2.x fails to start on Win2k





------- Additional Comments From parikshit@email.com  2002-09-10 01:45 -------
The actual error on why Apache wasn't starting was found when I looked up the 
Windows Event Log. The server failed due to parsing error of httpd.conf file.
The problem is that I have NFS mounted file system on my Windows box. These are 
mounted as different directories. Apache on my machine is installed in my C: 
drive, which is a local PC drive. In order for the Apache server to serve the 
files from these other mounts name E:/ and G:/ I added a few <Directory> 
directives to the httpd.conf file. This is the change that I did:
Alias /pari/ "G:/opt/var/files/"
            
             <Directory "G:/opt/var/files/">
                    Options Indexes MultiViews
                    AllowOverride None
                    Order allow,deny
                    Allow from all
    </Directory>

On seeing this the Apache server fails and reports:
<Directory "G:/opt/var/files/"> path is invalid. 
I know the G: drive is mounted properly and I can access this same directory by 
using a 'cmd' window and typing "G:\opt\var\file".

I know this was working in the previous Apache1.3.x version that I had 
installed. But from the time I installed the Apache2.0.x, this directory 
directive is failing.

Thanks,

Pari.
