to be other developers dealing with this problem... here's the problem - It
seems Windows XP (probably Windows 2003 Server too) does not see my virtual
drives. I'm having the same problem with Apache. By virtual drives, I mean
network mapped drives or local mappings I create with subst. Take a look at
this source code where I try to create a "Y:" drive and then look at the
result I get.... I'm totally stuck and I need help!!! The problem seems to
be that services in Windows XP can't see the damn virtual drives. In my code
sample below, it looks like CF is spawning a DOS prompt that runs as the
logged in user rather than the service. I've tried setting the permissions
on both the virtual drive and the physical source directory to be open to
everybody. I've also tried setting the Coldfusion Application Server user
role to run as the local account and the administrator of the machine. I've
also tried toggling the "interact with desktop" option. Nothing seems to
work.
PLEASE HELP! Thank you!!!!!!!
