Your description is a little fuzzy. Are you saying that you're
running Apache on your local machine, and are trying to point it at a
repository on a remote server? That sounds unnecessarily complex - if
you're going to use HTTP, why not run Apache on the box with the
repository?

As for the drive mappings, check what ID the Apache service is running
under. That account must have rights to the path provided. It also
will likely not have that mapped drive, as drive mappings are per-user
- try using the UNC path.
