access Linux web files from IIS on WinXP? Ok...I'm running Ubuntu Natty Narwhal as my Linux distro. I'm also running WinXP. What I want to do is access files in /var/www (I think that's where it is, anyway) from a virtual directory in IIS. In other words, let's say I have a file called something.php, and it's in /var/www/mysite So the path would be /var/www/mysite/something.php And what I would like to do is go into IIS on my WinXP box, and create a virtual folder (let's call it MyVirtualSite) that points to /var/www/mysite This way, on my WinXP box, I can go into a browser, and just type in localhost/MyVirtualSite/something.php and pull up the php file on the Linux box. I'm pretty sure this is possible, I just don't know how to do it. Started By Monte on Sep 2, 2011 at 2:51:00 PM

Monte on Sep 13, 2011 at 9:33:04 AM (# 1) Nothing? Anyone have any ideas on this? MHenke on Sep 14, 2011 at 7:19:20 AM (# 2) This message has been edited. I'm not sure if I got the scenario right. Are the both systems on *one* box (dual boot)? If so, you could set up a FAT32 partition, mount it under Linux and put your files there, e.g. "/[mountpoint]/www/mysite". Under WinXP, you could use that partition as drive and set up an virtual directory , e.g. "E:\www\mysite". If you're talking about two different boxes, I'd suggest to set up an Apache webserver on the Linux box wit an (virtual) directory "/var/www/mysite". This way you could access the files from anywhere in your (local) network, e.g. "http://myLinuxBox/mysite/something.php" You could also use Samba on the Linux box to share "/var/www/mysite/" in your local network. Under WinXP, you can point a IIS virtual directory to that share. But that sounds a bit cumbersome to me, compared with an Apache instance on the Linux box.

I thing the IIS Services and Server rules are still the same under XP Mode.You have to grant accounts,users access rights. You have to create or modify ACLS for folder and directory access.You have to open the firewall on the XP mode side to allow communications. ____ Ares Free Download
