I have a problem with config istruction "Directory". In my file httpd.conf i have these lines: <Directory "Z:"> Allow from all </Directory> This hard-disk is firewire and is connect to my computer but prevalent remain power-off and when i want watch some video inside i put power-on. The problem born here....infact if i left these lines in the file httpd.conf, the server apache non start because find it power-off, windows event show this error: The Apache service named reported the following error: >>> <Directory "Z:"> path is invalid. So i must "delete" these lines from httpd.conf:: #<Directory "Z:"> #Allow from all #</Directory> In this way apache start normally, but if after i put in power-on the external drive (z), the files inside aren't see from the server apache. I must stopped apache, modify file httpd.conf and restart the server. There is the way or an special istruction for httpd.conf, that start server anyway also if the drive is power-off and contain the istruction <Directory> to see the files ? Or there is a istruction directory that i can write ....from C: to z: ?? Thank
