Sharing 'opt/lampp/htdocs' htdocs via SMB
Posted: 14. December 2004 16:49
Hi,
I've just switched my server from W2kS to Linux (Mandrake 10.1). I'm running XAMPP and I would like to share my htdocs on my Windows network so I can open and edit files on the server from my development machine (Win XP). When I try and share the htdocs folder (/opt/lampp/htdocs) via SMB (running as root) I get the message "Only directories in your home directory can be shared." Fair enough I suppose, but what is the best way of going about this? I've read various things on Linking and Mounting, but so far nothing fits the bill.
BTW: I've also posted this on e-e here(http://www.experts-exchange.com/Networking/Linux_Networking/Q_21241795.html) so you can also post there if you want the points
Cheers, Steven
