I want to setup an alias over a UNC path... I'm playing with it right now, but can only get so far until someone frees up my rights on the machine I'm accessing. However, I'd like to have it up and going shortly there-after, so I'm coming here for some advice.

I've tried...
Alias /shadowMe/ "\\hostname\directoryToAlias\"
<Directory &quot;\\hostname\directoryToAlias\&quot;>
...
</Directory>

And I'm almost certain I'm going to run into a problem with the \'s if nothing else...

Anyone able to give me some pointers?

Thanks,
Rob
 
And the answer is.........

Manage your services, and change it such that Apache logs in as a user. Then go ahead and use all the UNC paths you'd like.
