Re: windows auth

As a rule, I avoid using logical drive mapping in my win script, and try to always use the full network path. This saves time if you don't have full control on the server running the script, but can generate other problems when someone renames a file server...

Rule One: "Do not act incautiously when confronting a little bald wrinkly smiling man."

ok then. What about unc path. it doesn't seem to have access to that server aswell. How can I make it popup for the end user to enter in their windows info to auth correctly?	[reply]

ok i narrowed it down, not the web server but possibly the script. When the script goes and access's the unc path, it indicates that the No such file or directory at within the webpage that I am viewing. When i run it from cmd line, it works. Is there any verbose logging i can setup that will tell me why it cannot find the directly, something along with the lines of an auth error. right now I have or die $!	[reply]

No, it has nothing to do with the script. You eliminated the second possible reason I gave, leaving the first. The user as which web server executes CGI scripts doesn't have permission to access the network. You need to give that user that permission or run the script as a user that does have that permission.
