This arises out of the code that attempts to map from URL thru Unix file names into Window's filenames. This code get's confused by these names that have "canonical names" outside the local machine single letter drive names. The failure manifests in various ways, "file not available", or "ServerRoot must be a directory", are two examples. >How-To-Repeat: Try serving up content from your samba server. >Fix: Find sufficently smart and kind person apply until symptoms disappear. >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: [In order for any reply to be added to the PR database, ] [you need to include <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> in the Cc line ] [and leave the subject line UNCHANGED.
