I'm making a huge leap forward due to the tip about the symlink. The warning about the documentroot that does not exist has disappeared. After that i still could not open the site (HTTP 403 error). I had to run the Apache-process as an administrator to solve that part. I'm still facing some smaller (i hope) issues, when everythiung really works i will post a complete solution here. Thanx for the help so far. Jack.

Sure worth the try... Unfortunately Apache sticks to his previous behavior, now resulting in the following mnessage: Warning: DocumentRoot [C:/foo] does not exist Thanks for the suggestion tho...

Thanx for your reply. The drive letter is Z: When is use Z: instead of //comp01-kamer/D$ however (which i did try allready), Apache even refuses to start.

Hi all, Hope you can help me on an issue i've been struggling with for the last 2 days. Allready searched the complete internet so this is my last hope. I try to set up a Virtualhost in Apache 2.2 on a Windows 7 computer, see below. <VirtualHost *:80> DocumentRoot "\\comp01-kamer\D$\Development\mysite" ServerName local.mysite.own </VirtualHost> I try to reach a shared disk (D$) that is located on the machine \\comp01-kamer. When i test with httpd -t the following output occurs: Warning: DocumentRoot [C:/comp01-kamer/D$/Development/mysite] does not exist As you can see Apache puts a C:/ before the Documentroot, therefor being unable to find it. Does anyone know the right way to refer to my shared harddisk? Thanks in advance, Jack. P.s. other Virtualhosts, using a local disk, work fine.
