Then I am confused, what is Apache for?
example.com does not refer to the location your will try and
gain access
to with Apache.
I merely said that if example.com was the website you had
configured in
Apache, then using my suggested configuration,
example.com/topshare
would be the same as \yourservertopshare
Where
[1] example.com = your website address (i.e.
www.apache.org)
[2] topshare = the name of the windows share (the name of
the share)
[3] yourserver = the name of the server where share is
located.
I will repeat my suggested config below with some
annotations, maybe
this will help clear it up for you.
<-- Config Example Starts Here -->
Alias /topshare //server1/topshare
# This line will instruct Apache to use
"//server1/topshare" when users attempt to go to
/topshare on your website.
<Directory "//server1/topshare">
Order deny,allow
Allow from all
Options indexes
</Directory>
# These 5 lines basically set the few basic required
permissions, and options
# you would need to allow Apache to show a directory listing
of "//server1/topshare"
<-- Config Example Ends Here -->
If you place these in your appropriate server or vhost
configuration it
should work fine (as long as you change the paths to match
your environment
