Apache Friends Support Forum

When Apache on Windows 10 starts from service, shared files supported by SMB2 can't be read.
If using Windows 7, all files can be read. And if Apache starts from XAMPP Control Panel (not from service), files can be read.
Is this XAMPP/Apache Bugs ?

*** My Environment ***
Windows 10 Pro, ver. 1607, OS build 14393.51
Apache 2.4.17
PHP 5.6.23
Target Shared Device: QNAP NAS, TS231
***

Code: Select all

<?php

$file_path = "\\\\TS231-1\\fs_data\\data.xml";

var_dump(file_get_contents($file_path));

?>

*** Error Message ***
Warning: file_get_contents(\TS231-1\fs_data\data.xml): failed to open stream: Invalid argument in C:\xampp\htdocs\index.php on line 16

No. It is your missing Windows skills. A program which is started "directly" by a User, is run with this Users priviliges. If you start the same program as a service, that program is NOT run by your UserId, but i.e. from the "SYSTEM" User. The SYSTEM User runs with different priviliges and different environment than your own UserID.

That is plain and pure Windows Knowledge.

Thanks, Nobbie.

I know what you say. Do you mean the privilege of "SYSTEM" user changes from Windows 7 to Windows 10 ?
On Windows 7, No difference is found when program is started as service or not as service. I can read shared file with no problem.
However, on Windows 10, as said before, I can not read shared file if program starts as service.

Is this new specifications of Windows ? or my missed skill of Apache ?
