[users@httpd] Using Mapped Network Drive in the UserDir Setting

[mi...@cox.net]

I have user directories on one machine and then have the webserver on a different machine. I mapped a network drive to the user directory and thought I could setup the userdir to use that mapped network drive. For some reason it does not recognize the mapped directory. So my question is how can I get apache to see the user directories on a different machine across the network? These are Win2k machines.


Here is what I tried:

Mapped a network drive to user directories. \\Somepc\user mapped to K. So in the httpd.conf I set the Userdir to k:/*/public_html.

UserDir "K:/*/public_html"

The error log says can not find file. Here is the kicker, if I set up the same directory structure on the machine that apache runs, then the UserDir works fine.


Thanks for any help.
