Hi,
I'm trying to run Apache on Windows 2003 with an own user account "Apache", which has limited rights,
but I get the error message:
DocumentRoot must be a directory.
Well, in my httpd.conf is written:
DocumentRoot "D:/htdocs/"
<Directory "D:/htdocs/">
Options None
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
This directory does exist!
I allready tried:
D:\htdocs
D:\htdocs\
"D:\htdocs"
"D:\htdocs\"
D:/htdocs
D:/htdocs/
"D:/htdocs"
"D:/htdocs/"
None of these solved my problem.
Can anyone help me please?

| did you adjust the permissions on that folder with the windows permissions? Is the user "Apache" allowed to read that files? |

Since there is no error when I move the directory htdocs and change the DocumentRoot to C:/WWW/Apache2.2/htdocs I checked the right of "Apache" again.
And I noticed that the user "Apache" didn't have the right to read D:\.
Now it works fine.
Thanks a lot!
