<big snip> >I'm having problems with the configuration/permissions issues with Apache. Apache runs on my machine. I have administrator privileges on my machine and Apache runs with my privileges.

On NT, go Start -> Setting -> Control Panel -> Services and double click on the entry for Apache. By default, Apache installs as the machine's system account. This grants access to the local drive but doesn't appear to be sufficient to access network resources. Create, or get your system administrator to create an account with the required privileges (cf the "nobody" user on Linux systems). Enter this into the "This Account" box. Restart the Apache service (don't forget to create any necessary aliases in the Apache configuration file). Better still read http://httpd.apache.org/docs/win_service.html 3) I also set "Options MultiViews" in the Apache configuration file for the networked aliases. I can't remember why/if that was necessary. I hope this helps.
