How is it not working the same?

I'm using a path such as r"//machinename/sharedrive/dir". With ZHttpServer this works fine. With apache and the cgi exe it throws an exception... along the lines of it being an illegal path.

I presume that somehow the python path or environment is different. Can anyone help me with this problem?

Try creating an external method that returns sys.path, then <!--#var --> that with both servers and compare them.

From Apache I get ['D:\\Program Files\\ZopeTest\\lib\\python', 'D:\\Program Files\\ZopeTest\\lib\\python\\python1.5', 'D:\\Program Files\\ZopeTest\\lib\\python1.5\\plat-win', 'D:\\Program Files\\ZopeTest\\bin', 'D:\\Program Files\\ZopeTest\\lib\\python', 'D:\\Program Files\\ZopeTest\\lib\\python1.5', 'D:\\Program Files\\ZopeTest\\lib\\python1.5\\plat-win', '.\\DLLs', '.\\lib', '.\\lib\\plat-win', '.\\lib\\lib-tk', 'D:\\Program Files\\ZopeTest\\bin']

From ZHttpServer I get ['D:\\Program Files\\ZopeTest\\lib\\python', 'D:\\Program Files\\ZopeTest\\lib\\python\\Components', 'D:\\Program Files\\ZopeTest\\lib\\python\\Components\\win32', 'D:\\Program Files\\ZopeTest/lib/python', 'D:\\Program Files\\ZopeTest/lib/python1.5', 'D:\\Program Files\\ZopeTest/lib/python1.5/plat-win', 'D:\\Program Files\\ZopeTest', 'D:\\Program Files\\ZopeTest', 'D:\\Program Files\\ZopeTest\\lib\\python', 'D:\\Program Files\\ZopeTest\\lib\\python1.5', 'D:\\Program Files\\ZopeTest\\lib\\python1.5\\plat-win', '.\\DLLs', '.\\lib', '.\\lib\\plat-win', '.\\lib\\lib-tk', 'D:\\Program Files\\ZopeTest\\bin']

The main differences seem to be \\ZopeTest\\lib\\python\\Components', 'D:\\Program Files\\ZopeTest\\lib\\python\\Components\\win32', however no such directories exist. The os.name returned by both servers is "nt". Whats going on here?
