Access to remote file shares via Apache nad Oracle App Ser..

Help please.

I have apache web server from Oracle 9i application server.
I am trying to add an alias which will access files on a remote file
server.
The Oracle HTTPSService (Apache Server Service) is running as a domain
memebr account which has read access to the remote location.

I have added an alias thus

Alias "/htmdocs/" "\\servername\sharename\directory\"

<Directory "\\servername\sharename\directory\">
Options MultiViews
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>

However when i try to access a file in the folder I get this error

Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /htmdocs/default.htm on this
server.
Oracle HTTP Server Powered by Apache/1.3.19 Server at servername Port
80

But I can browse the filesystem on the server using the identity
provided.

Any advice will be very much appreciated.

Try changing the permissions to include execute or run access.
