Apache runs in console but not as a service?
- by danspants
I have an apache 2.2 server running Django. We have a network drive T: which we need constant access to within our Django app. When running Apache as a service, we cannot access this drive, as far as any django code is concerned the drive does not exist.
If I add...
<Directory "t:/">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
allow from all
</Directory>
to the httpd.conf file the service no longer runs, but I can start apache as a console and it works fine, Django can find the network drive and all is well.
Why is there a difference between the console and the service? Should there be a difference? I have the service using my own log on so in theory it should have the same access as I do.
I'm keen to keep it running as a service as it's far less obtrusive when I'm working on the server (unless there's a way to hide the console?). Any help would be most appreciated.
