Mac OS X is Not in this scenario at all!!! So completely Eradicate it from this current Scenario. This is a complete PHP/Apache on Windows 2003 Scenario. That's it! So what it is supposed to be is: * PHP5 / Apache2.2 on Windows Server 2003 * Folder on another Windows Machine on the Network contains some files (mapped as network drive "X:\") * PHP trying to read file on X:\ from Apache on Windows 2003. There's really nothing else to it. > Can you, from the Windows 2003 machine, manually access the folder/file that > you're asking PHP (through Apache) to access?

I can easily navigate to the X: drive on that Windows Machine, and do anything I want with files there. I have all permissions. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Rahul Sitaram Johari CEO, Twenty Four Seventy Nine Inc.
