title: Apache DocumentRoot to a Network Directory for Virtual Host
body: <pre><code>NameVirtualHost *:80
  &lt;VirtualHost *:80&gt;
  ServerName tmp
  DocumentRoot "//192.168.1.25/www/"
  &lt;Directory /&gt;
  Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
  AllowOverride All
  Order allow,deny
  Allow from all
  &lt;/Directory&gt;
  &lt;/VirtualHost&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This configuration is not working, Services can't start from Services.msc but if i tried to run httpd.exe in cmd.exe then it successful and obviously its not good way.   </p>
  
  <p>I have tried Alias but still not working, services Run but when i access its <code>403 Access Error.</code></p>
  
  <p>I tried Map Network Drive to Z: but Services Fail to run from Services.msc  </p>
  
  <p>Do any one have good solution to Run Apache DocumentRoot from a Network Directory or Network Drive for virtual host.</p>
