Web Hosting Talk : Web Hosting Main Forums : Hosting Security and Technology : SSI / .shtml files not being parsed?

[gafami]

hey there everyone,

I've used the latest apachetoolbox to compile apache (+php etc) and I also included mod_include to actually use server side includes within .shtml files. Apache itself works fine, so does php, but for some reason... the SSI-commands in .shtml files aren't executed.. but appear in the source code of the delivered sites... so basically they ain't working.


the httpd.conf does include the following though:

AddType text/html .shtml
AddHandler server-parsed .shtml


sooo what might be the reason that .shtml files "don't work" ?


cheers & thanks,
-joerg

If you got PHP and using includes why save as .SHTML
I have always saved as .php even if include is only thing "php" about the whole page... This works perfect for me...

What is the command you are trying to execute?

mm well any kind.. e.g.

<!--#echo var="HTTP_REFERER" -->

You'll also need "Options +Includes" just search for "Options" in httpd.conf.... if it's already set to "ALL" don't worry about it, but if not toss in Includes.

awsome, good to hear! The apache docs include some pretty good ssi help (as far as tags go) the one for 1.3 is at http://httpd.apache.org/docs/howto/ssi.html
