Xampp 3.2.2 has no access to network drive

[siriusblack]

Hello.

I installed Xampp 3.2.2, but it does not start if there is a mapped network drive in document Root.

Example:

My current configuration is set in C: partition from my machine. (IT WORK'S)

Code: Select all

DocumentRoot "C:/xampp/htdocs"
<Directory "C:/xampp/htdocs">
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes ExecCGI
    AllowOverride All
    Require all granted
</Directory>


My current configuration is set in D: partition from my machine. (IT WORK'S)

Code: Select all

DocumentRoot "D:"
<Directory "D:">
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes ExecCGI
    AllowOverride All
    Require all granted
</Directory>


My current configuration on drive X: which represents a mapped network drive. (NOT WORK'S)

Code: Select all

DocumentRoot "X:"
<Directory "X:">
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes ExecCGI
    AllowOverride All
    Require all granted
</Directory>


I use Windows 7 64 bit and already tried to do pretty much everything I saw on Google.

Thanks.

Mapped drives are valid only for the logind User, but if you run Apache as a service, it is executed by System user, which does not know your drive letters. That is basic Windows knowledge and not a Xampp issue. Instead of a drive letter apply the server and folder name, like //myserver/myfolder as DocumentRoot.

Thank you.

But I already did the procedure below and it did not work.

Code: Select all

DocumentRoot "\\192.168.92.128\www"
<Directory "\\192.168.92.128\www">


I also did the procedure of the usb(https://community.apachefriends.org/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=69784) and also did not work.

Code: Select all

%PHP_BIN% -n -d output_buffering=0 %CONFIG_PHP% usb


Do you have any other solution?

This is totally wrong - dont you have any Windows knowledge?? You cannot apply simply an IP, it must be a "Windows Share". And of course User System must have sufficient access rights. You have to configure that Share properly on the mentioned Server. As you still do not tell us anything about that "thing", i cannot go any further.

This is plain nonsense, it is meant for portable Xampp version only (installed on an USB stick). You might have corrupted your configuration by doing this useless step.

I have an alternative idea for your issue:

a) do NOT(!) run Xampp as a service (you have to configure that in the Xampp dialog). Instead start Apache and MySQL NOT automatically and not as a service, after you login to Windows start the Xampp Controlcenter and start Apache and MySQL via Mouseclick. If you do it correctly, Apache and MySQL are NOT running as System user, but instead with YOUR UserId and with the same rights.

b) edit your Apache Configuration and change "X:" into "X:/", as you only provided a drive letter (what is not sufficient), you also have to apply a folder (at least root folder "/").

Then start Apache and try again.

I set up a VM with an LInux server (in text mode) with Nginx and compiled Xdebug in PHP 7, but my development environment is on my local machine and I was not able to use Xdebug remotely. So I shared through Samba the Nginx Document Root and installed Xampp on my Windows.

For me it is better to configure Xdebug locally and so I was trying to map my Samba drive to Xampp's Document Root.

I remember reading that it is not good practice to use in using network sharing, but I had no other choice.

a) do NOT(!) run Xampp as a service (you have to configure that in the Xampp dialog). Instead start Apache and MySQL NOT automatically and not as a service, after you login to Windows start the Xampp Controlcenter and start Apache and MySQL via Mouseclick. If you do it correctly, Apache and MySQL are NOT running as System user, but instead with YOUR UserId and with the same rights.

I did not run Xampp as a service and it still had a problem.

b) edit your Apache Configuration and change "X:" into "X:/", as you only provided a drive letter (what is not sufficient), you also have to apply a folder (at least root folder "/").

I had already tried using the configuration in several ways: "X:", "X:/" and "X: /", but none of them worked out.

Yet I have found a way that is working. I installed Xampp inside within my X: mapping and in Document Root it looked like this:

Code: Select all

DocumentRoot "X:/"
<Directory "X:/">


Thanks for the help and ideas. It's settled. Now I can run Xdebug on my Netbeans perfectly.
