Actually, drive identifiers are a Windows-only "feature" -- on OSX, as with most *nix-based operating systems (and probably others I'm unaware of), the basic concept is that of "mount points" -- a physical device may be mounted at any point in the directory tree. For example, on my server (running Debian Linux), the root device ("/") is one physical drive, while all the home directories ("/home") are on a separate drive (which is actually a RAID). Since I have only one drive (and only one partition) on my Powerbook, the drive is mounted in the default location, which is "/". > Not to belabor the issue of an absolute physical path [snip] So, yeah -- I can guarantee that the path indeed exists, and is indeed an "absolute physical path". Thanks for your good intentions, but Apache on Windows has a very different set of quirks from the way that Apache runs on a standard *nix-like system, so I'm afraid I'm still where I started. Jacob
