Description:
------------
From phpinfo for the file:
_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"]	//htdocserv/htdocsns/
_SERVER["SCRIPT_FILENAME"]	//htdocserv/htdocsns/user/hernst/head/xml/iwat/tools/version.php

In processmonitor I only see one access try to
\\htdocserv\htdocsns\user\hernst\head\xml\iwat\tools\.user.ini
and not to
\\htdocserv\htdocsns\user\hernst\head\xml\iwat\.user.ini
\\htdocserv\htdocsns\user\hernst\head\xml\.user.ini
...

I have one .user.ini file in
C:\>dir \\htdocserv\htdocsns\user\hernst\head\xml\*.ini
 Volume in drive \\htdocserv\htdocsns is htdocsns
 Volume Serial Number is AF3D-2838
 Directory of \\htdocserv\htdocsns\user\hernst\head\xml
16.03.2011  11:40                19 .user.ini
               1 File(s)             19 bytes

Seems the alogrith does not work properly with the network shares on windows and trying to macht the Document-Root to the current file

Any reason why you don't mount it instead?

However it should work anyway, but can you try by mounting this path as a folder 
or drive please?

Can't use it as drive because apache does not start then:
DocumentRoot z:/
DocumentRoot z:
DocumentRoot "z:/"
leads to a Syntax error on line 6 of C:/Program Files/Zend/Apache2/conf/default-with-letter.conf

Using
DocumentRoot "//htdocserv/htdocsns"
works
This might happen for apache as Z: is not available in that context. Running apache as Service with NT AUTHORITY\NetworkService Account.

That's rather weird, it works just fine here. But that's hardly a php problem (the 
conf error).

What if you use a folder? Mounting the share as c:\apache\htdocs for example?

Sorry, can't get the network share to map to a sirectory. The typical thing with junction and mklink commands does not seem to work on Windows Server 2003 R2 SP2. Or is there any other command to map the share to a directory in Windows Server 2003 R2?

Ah right, junctions are only for local data, sorry.

However the drive letter issue is weird, sounds like a problem in the zend 
server's apache, please report the issue to them.

I will take a look at the initial problem as soon as possible.

Is this still an issue with any of the actively supported PHP
versions[1]?

Currently that feature is no longer required, so didn't check it again if it works with a most recent php version
