Hello,

I have a problem, in that Server Side Includes are not being included. I
have the server set up correctly (according to the book), with

LoadModule include_module modules/mod_include.so

<VirtualHost 67.117.74.180>
ServerAdmin webmaster RemoveThis @mairhtin.com
DocumentRoot /home/sfdesignsolutions
ErrorLog /var/www/logs/testsfd.com-error.log
CustomLog /var/www/logs/testsfd.com-access.log common
ServerName mairhtin.com
ServerAlias www.mairhtin.com
Options Indexes Includes FollowSymLinks
DirectoryIndex index.php index.html index.htm index.shtml
</VirtualHost>

AddOutputFilter INCLUDES .shtml

as presented by the book. What might I be doing wrong? Is there some
way to test if SSI is occuring, short of coding an include and not seeing
it happen?

The include statement looks like this :
<!--#include virtual="header.html" -->

and header.html exists and is fine. If I copy it into the index.shtml,
it shows up just find. But the include wont work.

Mairhtin

I'm sure plenty of people have read your post, but there is little point
posting if they have nothing to say. Your config looks fine.

So we can ask the obvious questions, you should have already tried these
things, but I'll ask them since you want someone to post something.

Do the logs show anything? Have you tried using a simpler SSI that doesn't
rely on an external file, e.g. <!--#echo var="DATE_LOCAL"--> ?

Well the only difference I can see between your config and mine is I also
have:
AddType text/html .shtml

Perhaps this is required before mod_include will dare to modify the
contents, rather than just being used as the mime type to tell the browser.

I found this on the net and it helped me.. the entire page is located at

<a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://www.webdevtips.com/webdevtips/developer/serverstuff/include.shtml" target="_blank">http://www.webdevtips.com/webdevtips/developer/serverstuff/include.shtml</a>

Hope this helps! -- good luck!

To Enable Server Side Includes we have to do 2 things

1. We need to let the server know that we want to use includes. Open
DRIVE:\web\Apache2\conf\httpd.conf in a text editor (one that shows line
numbers makes this part easier)
line numbers will vary depending if you follow this guide or not but the
edits should be near the line number listed.


Line 267 change
from
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks ExecCGI
to
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks ExecCGI Includes

Remove the # from lines 793 and 794
from
#AddType text/html .shtml
#AddOutputFilter INCLUDES .shtml

to

AddType text/html .shtml
AddOutputFilter INCLUDES .shtml


If you have skipped the php section then you will need to also make sure
index.shtml is in the directory index line
DirectoryIndex index.html index.php index.shtml index.html.var

Save httpd.conf and restart the server (use Apache Service Monitor)

To test SSI we need to create 2 files

1.
--
<html>
<head>
<title>hello world</title>
</head>
<body>
<!--#include virtual="hello.inc"-->
</body>
</html>
--
Save it as DRIVE:\web\Apaches2\htdocs\hello.shtml

2.
--
<b>Hello World!</b>
--


Save it as DRIVE:\web\Apaches2\htdocs\hello.inc
Finally
Open your browser and type <a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://localhost/hello.shtml" target="_blank">http://localhost/hello.shtml</a> into the address
bar. If all has went well you should see the words Hello World! in your
browser.
You have successfully enabled SSI

It looks to me like the original problem the poster was having was
that the inlcudes were enabled for any .shtml file, but the file
included in the example was a .html file, which would not be
recognized in that configuration.

I followed this document TO THE LETTER, and got no joy.

The log says :

[Wed Jan 28 16:15:36 2004] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] unknown directive
"inlcude" in parsed doc /var/www/html/hello.shtml


So obviously, SOMETHING is wrong.

*scratching head*

Why would it not like "include" ????

Did you copy and paste this log entry, or type it? If you copied it take a
closer look and see if you can see spot the problem.
