OS is Windows 7

Appache is installed in "C:\AppServ\Apache2.2"

In httpd.conf

for documentroot 

DocumentRoot "C:/Program Files (x86)/myweb"

for alias:

alias /link/ "\\xxx.xx.xx.xx/myfolder/logs"
<Directory "\\xxx.xx.xx.xx/myfolder/logs"

The slashes MUST be "\" in the " < Directory" line in order for apache to start without error.

When i access this I'm getting 403 Forbidden, You don't have permission to access. And in the error.log of apache logs I'm getting "client denied by server configuration: C:/xxx.xx.xx.xx"

What have I tried:

  • Different variations of slashes ( "/" , "\" ) in the alias and directory
  • Use map drive instead of UNC

Any idea how to fix this?

First you should not set your web files in C:/Program Files (x86)/

Then you need to set Apache user to your web folder

And for the sharing alias you need to set a network mapping instead of network addess
