Apache is running as nobody/nobody and all files&folders have 
nobody/nobody as the ownership.
I think there is no permissions issue. Because php page works fine in 
the same folder.
I have worked with samba and apache for 5 yrs. This is my first time to use
a mounted samba share as the DocumentRoot. I googled and found it is 
ralated to the httpd.conf:

#
# EnableMMAP and EnableSendfile: On systems that support it,
# memory-mapping or the sendfile syscall is used to deliver
# files.  This usually improves server performance, but must
# be turned off when serving from networked-mounted
# filesystems or if support for these functions is otherwise
# broken on your system.
#
EnableMMAP off
EnableSendfile off

Samba log has no error message.

Has anybody ever used mounted samba share as DocumentRoot for apache?
