in reply to Troubleshoot copying files to/from Windows shared volume

  1. Discover which userid the webserver is running under on both machines.

    If Apache is configured to run as a service, then Settings->Control Panel->Services; right-click Apache(2) and select Properties; Select the Log-on tab.

  2. Inspect the permission settings for those userids on the respective machines and look for differences.

    Programs->Administratice Services->Computer Management; then System Tools->Local Users & Groups->Users Compare the groups to which the userids belong and their permissions.

    Users and groups are the same.

    Older computer is running Apache 1.3 (bundled with EasyPHP) -- it doesn't show up in the 'services' list.

    Newer computer is running Apache 2.2.4 from wampapache

    Obviously, this is not really a Perl question -- but I sure would like to find the answer -- so further suggestions very welcome :-)

      If it doesn't show up in the services list, how have you discovered which userid it is runs under?

      And if you haven't discovered that, then which userids are you comparing in order to determine that:

      Users and groups are the same.
