This question has been spawned from this:

VPC running WinXP SP3 with WAMP: 403 error on network drive

The real question:

Basically i need to know how to setup a "service account" that apache can use to access my virtual network drives on a VPC.

//tsclient/C/public_html

I have changed the service properties; the login account, to my local Admin account "./Kevin". However, this has been noneffective.

I continue to receive 403 errors when I try to access the network with apache.

Video of setup:

Any ideas would be great!

Create a user account, grant it the ability to 'run as a service' and 'act as part of the OS' from the local security policy. Ensure that that account has permissions to your Apache directories. Once your service is installed, configure it to run as that user.

  • Is it important that I create the account before installing the service? – Kevin Oct 28 '10 at 18:32
  • No - shouldn't matter, unless the installer gives you the option of specifying the account. – Simon Catlin Oct 28 '10 at 18:36
  • I thought it was "log in as a service"? – Kevin Oct 28 '10 at 18:51
  • I was doing it by memory, so the exact phrasing may be different. – gWaldo Oct 28 '10 at 19:59
  • This doesn't appear to be working. I had added a new user via control panel and computer management. Are there other settings I need to change? – Kevin Oct 28 '10 at 22:32
  • Since you can't add 'run as a service' and 'act as part of the OS' from the Control Panel, yes, there are more settings you need to apply. Follow the rest of the steps from the Local Security Policy console – gWaldo Oct 29 '10 at 12:29
  • I also changed the security policies and group. I also have changed the permissions for the whole wamp folder. – Kevin Oct 29 '10 at 16:32
  • Ok, this is what I have http://www.screencast.com/users/kevindees/folders/Jing/media/0f551d3b-326f-48bc-a5da-e1ddeb7229fb – Kevin Oct 29 '10 at 17:02
