[mapserver-users] allowing MapServer access to data on another windows machine?

[Rahkonen Jukka]

Hi,

I never managed to make it to work before we acquired more disks but it is about Apache and this is the reason

" By default, all Apache services are registered to run as the system user (the LocalSystem account). The LocalSystem account has no privileges to your network via any Windows-secured mechanism, including the file system, named pipes, DCOM, or secure RPC. It has, however, wide privileges locally. "

Some advice to start with is at http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/platform/windows.html

> I am planning to reinstall windows on our main web server.  While it is down I am going to use an old machine.  It does not have enough hard disk space for all of our data.  I mapped the Z drive to a second old machine which will temporary hold the excess mapserver gis data.   I received an error " Unable to access file. (Z:/ms4wCache/source/Picto2011Lyon/Picto2011.shp)\nmsShapefileOpen(): Unable to access file."

> Question:  what do I need to do to allow mapserver to access data that is stored on another machine?

thanks
