[Israel.pm] How to open a file on a network drive, using CGI.

[roi sh]

Hi.

Actualy it's a directory i'm trying to read.

the error as written in the Apache errors log:

[Tue May 04 02:13:59 2004] [error] [client [local IP]] can't open dir 
\\[server name]\c$\[folder]\[folder]\[folder]\Log: No such file or directory 
at c:\APACHE~1\apache\cgi-bin\OFFLIN~1.PL line 112.

lines 111, 112 are:
$directory = "\\\\[server name]\\c\$\\[folder]\\[folder]\\[folder]\\Log";
opendir(DIRHANDLE, $directory) or die "can't open dir: $directory: $!";

i also tried using the server IP instaed of its DNS name and it did not 
work.


please note that  running the perl script itself (not the CGI), from inside 
the network,  the direcctory is opened:
line 113 is: print (Dir $directory opened!") .
its result: Dir \\[server name]\c$\[folder]\[folder]\[folder]\Log opened!.

thanks.

Roi.
