How to configure WAMP with a DocumentRoot on a mapped network drive?

I'm trying to set up WAMP server on a local machine so a PHP script on a mapped network drive can be executed, either from the local machine or from any other machine that's also mapped to that drive.

This is what I have in my httpd-vhosts.conf file:

<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot "c:/wamp/www"
ServerName localhost
ServerAlias localhost
<Directory "c:/wamp/www">
AllowOverride All
Require local
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot "//111.1.11.1/path/to/T Web"
ServerName TWEB
<Directory "C:/websites/www/tweb">
AllowOverride All
Require local
Require ip 111.1.11
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>

The PHP works and executes when placed in the local www folder, but just shows up in the browser as code when executed in the remote T Web folder. What am I missing here?

I'm using Windows 7 with WAMPserver 2.5

Bad idea. Its a guaranteed disaster waiting to happen.

Use a source management tool like GIT or anything else you prefer rather than try and share source like this. Then give all developers their own version of WAMPServer.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(Windows 10 Pro 64bit) (Wampserver 3.3.4 64bit) Aestan Tray Menu 3.2.5.4
<Apache versions MULTIPE> <PHP versions MULTIPLE> <MySQL Versions MULTIPLE>
<MariaDB versions MULTIPLE> <phpMyAdmin versions MULTIPLE> <MySQL Workbench 8.0.23>

Read The Manuals Apache -- MySQL -- PHP -- phpMyAdmin
Get your Apache/MySQL/mariaDB/PHP ADDONs here from the WAMPServer alternate Repo

All I'm trying to do is make it so a PHP script can be executed so a form can be sent from an intranet web page. The intranet site is stored on a network drive that all the employees are mapped to.

Hi,

It works for me with a network drive and VirtualHost like this:
<VirtualHost *:80>
   ServerName my-site-number-3
   DocumentRoot //192.168.0.11/public/sites/site3
   ServerAdmin webmaster@nowhere.net
  <Directory "//192.168.0.11/public/sites/site3/">
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
    AllowOverride all
    <RequireAny>
    	Require local
    	Require ip 192.168.0
    </RequireAny>
  </Directory>
</VirtualHost>
192.168.0 is the root of ip's of employees PC.

This need that the network drive must be mapped to the server PC with an IP adress.
