Can a Network Share be used as Document Root for WAMP Apache2.2.17

Hello,I'll try to be brief as possible. I have set up 2 2008R2 servers each with WAMP 2.1 which uses Apache2.2.17. On Server A the Apache document root and e has been changed from the default to D:www. This directory has been configured on 2008R2 as as both an NFS and SAMBA share using File Services-Share and Storage management. On Server B WAMP 2.1 Has also been installed and the Apache document root in httpd.conf and the is pointed at the Server A document root [D:\www] in the UNC path format of //Server A/www/. Apache is also running on Server B as administrator to enable network access since the Local System account has no network access.Lastly I must state that all of this is located in a DMZ so there is no 'domain' or 'domain accounts' both servers are in workgoroup. So far I have not been able to get Server B to serve any files from the document root on Server A. Is this at all feasible???I've already read that Apache cannot use a mapped network resource as document root.Is there any way for Apache to serve files from a non local i.e. network resource document root?Thank You,Joe Pitts

 

Mount the network drive on local, on windows it's called network drive, once the network drive/folder is available as local drive/path, Apache will be able to serve content from it.

 

By mount do you mean Map the drive ??? Because I've tryed that already. Please explain 'mount' and how I can accomplish/perform a mountThank YouJoe

 

Sorry I mentioned mount being from Linux background.

On windows it should be map a drive and assign drive letter, before doing so set proper permission on the share drive/folder.
