I have Windows 2003, IIS 6, ISAPI_Rewrite3, ColdFusion 7 running and am trying to access the .htaccess file stored on a UNC path to a common codesbase (multi-server environment). Due to ColdFusion's need to access the UNC share, I must use a login for the network share in IIS. Is there a way to get ISAPI to read the .htaccess file on the share? Right now I have all rewrite code in the httpd.conf file using <virtualHost> tags to separate the websites. It would be much easier to manage them in their own .htaccess files..

Any advise would be greatly appreciated.

I don't think it is possible because there is no way for ISAPI_Rewrite to log in. It would be possible if this UNC share allowed anonymous access, but not with login restrictions.

I do have annonymous access enabled. IIS is mapped set up to access the home directory through a UNC share with a listed 'connect as' user. I am using that same user for annonymous access to the website. All HTML, CFM and assets access from the share. The .htaccess is the only file I cannnot get to..

ISAPI_Rewrite is executed as IIS Application Pool user, not as Anonymous Access user. You will need to allow UNC access for Application Pool user.

I am still looking for how to find the 'Application Pool' user. It is not obvoius using that term. I have given access to the IIS_WPG group and that did not help. IIS has an option for Application Pools, but the websites run with or without Application Pools active.

So far, the .htaccess file is the only file type that will not read from the UNC share.

Is this the only way to get assistance from Helicon? One comment / Aswer per day is going to take some time to get this resolved. A discussion may get it much faster. This is an issue on our live wegb sites and I am trying to get it resolved as soon as possible.

Thanks.
