The instruction <!--include file="nav.html"> will only works if nav.html is
in the current directory.

If not, use: <!--include virtual="path/to/nav.html">

Usually, the including file has the .shtml extension.

Also make sure somewhere in your config files you have the following
directives:

AddType text/html .shtml
AddOutputFilter INCLUDES .shtml

And for the directories where you mant the SSI active:

IncludesNoExec

This per dir directive in inherited by the descendant directories.

Bonne chance!

You know where this one goes.

Those two instructions can be almost anywhere near the beginning of your
config file.

I think that they also could be in a separate virtual host config file if
you have virtual hosts (often recommended).

This one is usually part of a directory block like:

<Directory "/var/www/yourDir/">
AllowOverride None
Options IncludesNoExec
</Directory>

There0 is an other way to use SSI through the XBitHack On instruction but it
is usually not recommended and somewhat ressource consuming.

  >>

  >>

The instruction is inherited by the sub-directories of /var/www/yourDir/

It can be bypassed by a new directory block for a specific sub-directory or
by the use of a .htaccess file when the AllowOverride instruction permits
(unlike our example) .

apache comes with well written and very complete instructions. Take the time
to read those twice or 3ce. You will save time on maintenance after.

<notroll reaction="ignored">
If the machine's only use is to run apache and serve web pages, i suggest
that you switch from Windows to some flavor of Unix (Linux or BSD) , you
will save money, work in a more stable and secure environment and feel more
free and happy. This is not advocacy, just plain truth from a friendly me.

And please, do not topPost.

Bonne chance again! Et bonne lecture.
