[rhn-users] problem with Apache and NFS mount (urgent)

[Trice, Jim]

Hello,

    We're running MS services for Unix here and NFS mounting backup space. My
understanding is that the original plan was to have all the storage served up
from a MS server but that was scrapped due to all the problems encountered
and lack of support. We currently avoid creating subdirectories on the MS NFS
served shares whenever possible. My recommendation is to avoid this product
if at all possible. Sorry. 

Jim

Good day

 

I have the following systems

* RHEL ver4

* Windows Storage Server2003 running NFS Server

* httpd.conf Document Root set to "/opt/mnt"

* NFS mount on "/opt/mnt/reports" to an NFS share "reports" on the NFS
server, everyone has full permissions. User apache mapped to user
administrator. User root mapped to admin user.

* Other directories, sub directories and files exist on the NFS server under
"reports"

 

When browsing http:server1.domain.com/, I am able to see the directories and
files listed under /opt/mnt.

When browsing http:server1.domain.com/reports/, I am UNABLE to see any
existing files or directories in the list, except for "parent directory"

When browsing http:server1.domain.com/reports/subdir1/, I am able to see the
list of files and directories.

 

If I unmount the NFS mount and create files & dirs under /opt/mnt/reports, I
am able to view these via http.

 

# Problem: I am unable to view (via web) the contents of the first directory
mounted via NFS #

 

The configuration works well if I use another version of Linux. I tested this
on ver8.0 and 7.3.

 

Has anyone out there experienced with problem before?

 

You help will be greatly apprciated!

 

Regards

Luq
