    Hi,

    By default on Windows, all Apache services are registered to run as the System user (the LocalSystem account). The LocalSystem account has no privileges to the network via any Windows-secured mechanism. So, there are 2 ways of using network path on windows:

    • Using Symbolic Links (symlinks):

    A way to use network path is by creating symbolic link by using the mklink command. The general syntax for the command is as follows:

    mklink /d <Link> <Target> where /d is for directory.

    Eg. mklink /d \\hostname\dir C:\some_dir

    • Map the network drive and run Apache as a user other than the System user.

    For more details, please refer to the following link:
