IIS, network share

Anon

I installed IIS and php 4.06, which worked just fine, then I tried to set up the home directory to a network share. That worked also, fine, but only for html files, or anything else than php. The network path is accesible, IIS accesses the network as Adminstrator, permision for scripts and executables has been enabled, but when I try to run a script, I get:
Fatal error: unable to open {windows path to script: \server\share\file.php}

I double cheched, the file opens from windows, and if I get rid of php, IIS loads it as text files.

F1, please.

rather than access the share by UNC path have you tried to mount the network drive and specify the drive + path to php?

also does php work with .php files using a local home directory?

it's win2k, you can only mount a ntfs drive onto another.
if I map a drive, it's available as long as someone's logged on. if not, the mapping would not be available.
local files work just fine. trust me, I tried the orthodox ways.

If it's a dedicated server, you could always map the drive then lock the console and stay logged in.
