How do I get my Server Side Includes to work?

pmedes · 10-30-2004, 08:03 AM

I tried including the following directives in my httpd.conf.local file,
but my SSI commands are still not working in my .shtml file:

Options Includes
AddHandler server-parsed .shtml

I believe it should be

Options Include (Singular not Plural)

Options ExecCGI Includes

That's for CGI scripts, I'm trying to do Server Side Includes (SSI).
I did try the following after reading the Apache2 documentation on www.apache.org:

<Directory /srv/www/htdocs>
# added for Server Side includes (SSI) in htdocs
Options +Includes
AddType text/html .shtml
AddOutputFilter INCLUDES .shtml
</Directory>
<Directory /srv/www/cgi-bin>
# added for perl cgi scripts
AddHandler cgi-script .cgi
</Directory>

The second part works; my .cgi scripts run, but the
SSI scripts (.shtml) don't. It may be because I'm trying
to run them locally (localhost).

It turned out to be my .shtml script.
It was missing the space before the "-->".
Unfortunately, that was an errata in the book
"CGI Programming with Perl" 2nd edition.
