I installed Apache 2.2 on my Windows XP SP3 box and most everything works fine (can load page, etc) except when I try to access a local file that is outside of the directory specified in Document Root (which is C:/). I either get an access denied error or nothing happens when I click the link. The links to my other test files which are under C:/ load fine. But again nothing will happen when I try to access testf.txt in F:/. I'm just trying to set up a webpage on my local network that can access all of my various drives on my server. Right now I can only access one drive at a time, which is whatever drive is specified in the document root line (in this case C:/). Here's my test index.html page: " <html> <body> <h1>Test Page</h1> <A HREF="F:/testf.txt">testf</A> #Link does not work, file location if F:/test1.txt <br> <br> <A HREF="test1.txt">File 1</A> #Link works, file location is C:/test1.txt <br> <br> <A HREF="test/test2.txt">File 2</A> #Link works, file location is C:/test/test2.txt </body> </html> " The Document Root and Directory are both set to C:/ in httpd.conf and my Apache server service is running as a local system account. When I hover over the testf.txt link on my test page file:///F:/testf.txt shows up. I guess my question at this point is it possible to access a file in F:/ when Document Root and Directory both are set as C:/ ? Or am I referencing the F:/ drive and file wrong in my index.html file. I double checked that there is an testf.txt under F:/. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
