OK, I'm still having problems getting SSIs to work. I'm sure I'm making a simple, fundamental error. This is what I'm including in the index.html source:

<!--#include virtual="footer.shtm" -->

I obviously have a footer.shtm file with the text that I want inserted (without HTML, BODY, etc tags). I have enabled SSI in Plesk (verified in the httpsd.conf file as "+Includes". I have also tried to include it as "footer.html" and "footer.txt" as well. What is the *correct* way to do this???

Thanx!

Well, unless you specify that .html files can be SSI's, I'm pretty sure it won't work. Try renaming it to .shtml, or adding this to your httpd.conf/.htaccess file:

AddType text/x-server-parsed-html .html

Hope this helps. :)

I found a /plesk/apache/conf/httpsd.conf file, but no httpd.conf/.htaccess. Found this section of httpsd.conf:

UserDir .

<Directory /*/public_html>
AllowOveride AuthConfig Limit Indexes Options
Options ExecCGI
</Directory>

DirectoryIndex index.htm index.php3 index.php index.shtml index.html

AccessFileName .htaccess

[Added your line here]

<Files ~ "^\.ht"
Order allow,deny
Deny from all
</Files>


Does that look right?

Your Server is already setup for .shtm file, what you need to do is change how you call the file.

eg.
<!--#include virtual="footer.shtm" --> change to <!--#include virtual="footer.htm" --> or footer.txt

then for whatever page this is included on, change the extenstion of "that" page to .shtm.

Although you can call a file that is .txt, any HTML within that file will operate as HTML.

I changed all my files to *.shtml and voilà! It works fine now!
Thanx all!
