I asked everywhere and have no solution to this. I installed on my ubuntu apache 2.0.55. I want to make alias to my windows mouns. /media/C und /media/D but I get this message -> You don't have permission to access /download/ on this server.

How can I avoid this ?? I want to make aliases to my windows mounts. Please help

I probably did 50 google searches to find this. It's to mount shares from my Windows 2003 server to my RHEL server:

/sbin/mount.cifs //path/to/share /path/to/mount/point/ -o user=your-username

This is the only way I could mount win2k3 shares and access them via apache for file downloads.
