Does anyone have a cookbook for getting IIS (specifically with ASP's) working with SAMBA? Any help would be appreciated. I will summarize all responses. John -------------- next part -------------- HTML attachment scrubbed and removed

I do quite a bit of work with them, but I'm not sure how you would do anything with samba and ASPs.

I have a very large body of web content and a large number of people accessing that content. I have chosen to use Solaris as the file server and want to be able to test the content using IIS. The natural choice for giving IIS access to the content is Samba. I have figured out how to allow the IIS service to authenticate to the Samba server and it can serve some content (HTML, Flash, graphics), but ASP will not execute. I realize this may be (and almost certainly is) an IIS/NT/ASP short coming, but it has something to do with Samba as it works over NT shares without a problem. Has anyone seen similar behavior? If so, did you solve the problem? How? Thanks again, John
I'm trying to make IIS serve documents from a Samba (v2.0) share. I've mapped the share as Y:, (with the right credentials), I can browse the Y:. In MMC, the website is setup to serve documents from Y:. Using IE or Netscape to access the site gives me access denied. This is the same on NT 4 as well as Win 2000. There are no clear messages in the logfiles. Any suggestions/tips in getting this to work are appreciated. -Suresh
Suresh, You're going about it the wrong way. You need to use a UNC path rather than a mapped drive letter. Have a look at this document I wrote last year; it should get you going: http://www.netapp.com/tech_library/3078.html Regards, Paul Benn Network Appliance> I'm trying to make IIS serve documents from a Samba (v2.0) share. > > I've mapped the share as Y:, (with the right credentials), I can browse > the Y:. > > In MMC, the website is setup to serve documents from Y:. > > Using IE or Netscape to access the site gives me access denied.
