When I run cgi scripts that want to access local drives on my computer, the scripts fail because the computer is not allowing me to access the local drives.
First off let's set the record straight: this is Perl Monks
not Apache Monks and this question
has not a wit anything to do with Perl, it is an Apache
configuration/system administration issue.
Now that I've asserted that.....
When you say my computer what is the environment
you are running on? By that I'm asking:
- OS
- Userid Apache is running on
- What persmissions the file systems (drives) in question
have
Also, output from logs would be nice to look at. You are
asking us to take a guess in the dark as to what is going
on without any facts.
I can pretty much guess that you are running on some
flavor of Evil Empire®
OS given your choice of wording, but I don't like to assume
things.
And what do you mean by access them? Are you
trying to mount them, format them, spin them, burn them,
eject them or just what?
