Hi Matt, and thanks for the response.  I tried the 3 slashes, but that still 
didn’t do the trick.  I ended up copying the imagery to the local server.  
Would have rather left it in the original location, but at least I got the 
service to work.

Bob,

If I remember correctly three slashes on the front should do it:

\\\machine_unc_name\share\path\data<file:///\\\machine_unc_name\share\path\data>

I am trying to create a WMS of imagery.  The images are on a shared, mapped

Windows server with Apache, MS4W 3.0.6).  I can’t get the service to recognize 
the location.  I get error messages for “Corrupt, empty or missing file…”

I’ve tried several formats:
\\machine_unc_name\share\path\data<file:///\\machine_unc_name\share\path\data>

\machine_unc_name\share\path\data

\share\path\data

-several variations but none worked.  Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Bob
