Hi,

I don't remember my post but here is my finding for trouble shooting Apache
to recognize network drive.

Please share your experience with this as it might help for improvement.

a) Latest apache version available is 2.2.14 but apache does not start as a
service, and if we start apache from command prompt, network drives are
recognized but we use to get blank command windows pop-ups on each click of
TPP application running on apache.

Even default version of apache (2.2.8) during TPP installation behaves in
the same manner.

b) This post says that it worked until Apache v2.0.32 AND works on a Win2000
server : http://osdir.com/ml/apache.devel/2002-06/msg00180.html
c)(i) I tried with Apache/1.3.41 (Win32), Active perl v 5.10.1,
TPP_Setup_v4_3_JETSTREAM_rev_1 on WinXp sp2.
I can start pache from services but network drives are not recognized.
 (ii) Nework drives are recognized if I start apache from command prompt
(using apache -k start), and  we don't get any blank
     command windows pop-ups on each click of TPP application,
all processing works fine.

d) When TPP is installed it creates "tmp" folder under root installation
directory (default "C:/"), it looks like tpp needs "tmp" folder (though it
can be empty) under root directory.
   Make sure to make "tmp" directory under new root.

e) I also think that there is no need to copy tpp-bin folder (though I have
not tested) under new root, copying only wwwroot should also work.

I will try to configure latest release of Apache (2.2.15) and will send the
findings.

My httpd.cnf looks like this (where "B:/" is network mapped drive)
