Quick tip: If you’re wanting to have your Apache document root point to a network share in Windows, here’s what you have to do:

1. Change your DocumentRoot to the network share (drive remapping doesn’t seem to work).  Example: DocumentRoot “//path/to/share”
2. Make sure to update the DocumentRoot path in your <Directory> config
3. Edit the Apache service
1. On the “Log On’” tab, click the “Browse” button next to the “This account” radio button.
2. Type in an account name that has access privileges to the network share and click “OK”
3. Enter the correct password for the user
4. Restart Apache and LOL your way to the bank.
