Hello, and a good day to you all. I recently did a Physical to Virtual (VMware esxi 5.1) on an old HP server (circa 2006 - running Slackware 12.1 - Installed sometime in 2008).

This machine runs a lot of the home grown php applications for the company I work for. Someday when time permits, I will migrate these php programs to a more current OS, but for now I need to get this stuff running.

I am having an issue now with my php programs accessing various windows boxes using Samba (CIFS). I have no problems mounting the shares in question. I can access the mounted shares no problem. When my php programs try to read a files in the share I get an access denied or failed to load blah blah blah.

I tried to tweak my mount command to include the php user (ie, uid=apache, gid=apache), but still no luck.

I am curious is anyone else out there had smb/cifs issues like this before when they did a P2V?

Thanks!

Mr. B-o-B
