Apache serving mapped drives in windows

sync 2 computers - need to serve files through apache on a mapped drive

[lasko]

Hi been a while since I posted on WW

Happy new year to you all!

I have two computers

A desktop and a laptop.

I have a private workgroup network NOT a domain network set up and using the windows "Make Available Offline" feature to sync my files between the two.

To make my life easier I have mapped my webdev dir to X:/ so I can work away from home.

I now want to set DocumentRoot in Apache on my laptop to X:/ so I can see my work being parsed through PHP etc. without having to be online.

I have apache 1.3.3 and DocumentRoot works under C:/ and D:/ but pointing to a mapped drives ends up with a 404 not found.

I have seen a a few comments on the net about this including the following from Apache and Windows

[issues.apache.org...]

And

[httpd.apache.org...]

To me this would seem a very effiecent way to work, having a complete development set up locally and sync files to a workstation.

Has anyone here done this?

I have tried adjusting the services setting with the user password etc but still nothing.

Can anyone give me some more advice?
Anyone here actually doing this?

Thanks
