Hi there,

Can you give us more details about what you are trying to do here? A code sample that re-creates the problem along with the error you are getting would be ideal.

If it's possible, can you also tell us the result you are trying to achieve? There might be a better way to go about it.

Let us know how you get on

Generally, when working with files outside the webserver directories, you access them by symbolic links from the webserver directory to the external directory containing the files. You have to make sure the directory and file permissions and ownership are ok. Apache user and group may be specified in the apache config file.
