PHP files don't work in Windows network drive

Author	Message
álvaro G. Vicari #1 / 9	PHP files don't work in Windows network drive I have a local Apache 2 web server in my PC (a Windows XP box). There's a virtual host in that Apache with DocumentRoot pointing to a Windows share (in an NT Server 4 box). I use the UNC name (\\server\folder) and a domain user with the appropriate credentials (according to Apache documentation). HTML can be accessed fine but whenever a ask for a .php file (no matter its content) I get the same error message: Warning: Cannot open "blah blah" for inclusion in Unknown 0 All PHP files are parsed correctly in local folders. Does anyone know why this happens? Thank you in advance, -- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Alvaro G.

If I create a file called helloworld.html with this content: <html>Hello world! I get the expected result: Hello world! But if I simply rename it to helloworld.php I get an error message: Warning: Failed opening 'helloworld.php' for inclusion (include_path='.;c:\foxserve\php\pear') in Unknown on line 0 It seems Apache passes the file name to the PHP interpreter but the interpreter can't find it. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Alvaro G.

I see, it seems this is not related to the fact that is on a network drive at all. The include path for PHP is set in the php.ini file. Your error: blah (include_path='.;c:\foxserve\php\pear') blah etc is telling you that it can't find the file, but it seems that it is only looking in your include path which suggests that it is not looking in the directory you specified. This seems strange because you say it works with "hello.html". Is there any chance you could post the script contents, both the relavent part of the calling script and the entire contents of the "helloworld.php" file. It would be easier to debug if you did that.

It would be easier to debug if you did that. Sure. Also, now I'm in front of the computer and don't have to write error messages by heart. I have a virtual host (for testing purposes) defined this way in httpd.conf: <VirtualHost > ServerName php DocumentRoot "\\\\servidor\\webs\\fullhardware\\www" ErrorLog logs/fullhardware-error.log CustomLog logs/fullhardware-access.log common Options All Multiviews IndexOptions FancyIndexing VersionSort FoldersFirst </VirtualHost> I've placed these two files in the www folder: hola.html: <html> <head><title></title> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> </head> <body> <h1>Hola</h1> <p>Prueba de Apache+PHP en unidad de red</p> </body> </html> * hola.php: <html> <h1>Hola</h1> When I load http://php/hola.html I get the expected output: Hola Prueba de Apache+PHP en unidad de red When I load http://php/hola.php I get an error message: Warning: Failed opening '//servidor/webs/Fullhardware/www/hola.php' for inclusion (include_path='.;c:\php4\pear') in Unknown on line 0 I have no problems at all with PHP in local drives like this: <VirtualHost *> ServerName fullhardware DocumentRoot "D:\DOCUMENTOS\FullHardware\www" ErrorLog logs/fullhardware-error.log CustomLog logs/fullhardware-access.log common Options All Multiviews IndexOptions FancyIndexing VersionSort FoldersFirst </VirtualHost> This virtual host parses PHP perfectly.

Is there any way you can use a mapped drive instead of "\\\\servidor\\webs" so you can use something like: DocumentRoot "s:\\fullhardware\\www" That might get around your problems, I have no experience using UNC paths for a document root in Apache but have had some success using mapped drives if the permissions are set correctly.

I believe it is* a PHP issue. HTML pages work fine, the problem is the PHP interpreter. But I suppose you mean it isn't related to PHP language.

Mapped drives only seem to get mounted when user logs in the "traditional" way. We'll have to install a Linux box sooner or later :) -- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Alvaro G.

Perhaps you have permission to read the files on that drive but not execute them.

Mapped drives > only seem to get mounted when user logs in the "traditional" way. Are you using an "untratitional" method to log in? I don't understand what you mean by "traditional" in that sentance. Do you want apache to be running when no user is logged in? I do not understand why you cannot just map a drive to get around the problem. There is seems to be an issue with the way the apache/PHP combination handles UNC paths on windows so the obvious workaround in my mind is to map a drive and be done with it. If there is some reason you cannot do this then you may be stuck. Quote: > We'll have to install a Linux box sooner or later :) Please do!!

With "traditional" I meant opening a desktop session (you know: Ctrl+Alt+Del, username, password, OK). I work in my computer with an user called "alvaro" but Apache runs with a user called "apache" (alvaro is an admin and I prefer apache not to be so). The Apache service runs with the apache user credentials, but doesn't really log in. Since network drive letters are a per-user setting, they don't get mounted. Never mind, you've already done a lot, this stuff doesn't really deserve more attention. I'll keep on using the simpliest solution (host site files in my PC instead of in the server). -- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Alvaro G.
