Mounting a partition...

Hi,
I guess what you need to do is mount the /usr/local/apache/www via SAMBA. 
This would help you work around the case sensitivity problem of Apache
(without recompiling Apache with nod_speling/mod_rewrite). Follow these steps 
and you should be through(I assume you have Samba configured and running):

a.... add a user webuser 
        useradd webuser
also add this to your samba user list 
        smbpasswd -a webuser

b.... make a directory under /home (say /home/web) and chown/chgrp it to 
webuser 
       chown webuser /home/web
       chgrp webuser /home/web
      
c.... add a samba share by adding the following lines to /etc/samba/smb.conf
[web1]
    valid users = webuser
    hosts allow = 127.0.0.1 <IP for this machine>
    path = /usr/local/apache/www 
    read only = yes

d.... now restart samba by issueing a /etc/init.d/smb restart 

e.... you should now be able to mount the directory by issueing a 
     mount -t smbfs -o 
username=webuser,password=yourpassword //127.0.0.1/web1 /home/web1

That should do it, does work for me.
