Ken, you can't have mapped drives for services. You have to use the UNC path. On 8/14/07, Ken Ara <feedreader@yahoo.com> wrote:

Hi,

In a Windows2003 Server environment, we have been unable to get ExternalFile to read a mapped network drive that is otherwise visible from this machine.

We have given admin rights to the Zope service, "Zope instance at C:\Zope\Instance\2.10.4" (uses "C:\Zope\2.10.4\Python\PythonService.exe"). Have we missed something?

Attempting to add an ExternalFile batch (manage_addBatchViaGui) fails with the error:

///

ERROR: directory ''Z:'' does not exist or is not readable. No action taken.

///

This error is not logged in error_log, so there's no better traceback.

Can this be made to work? Thanks!

Ken
