Apache installation on a Windows 2000 PC

[bessebo]

I would like to test with using server side includes and I assume that I would need to install Apache server on my client. Can you tell me if there could be any issues doing so and will I be able to test web code that use server-side includes after I perform the installation?

Thanks,
Bessebo

Hi

Can you tell me if there could be any issues doing so [blue](1)[/blue] and will I be able to test web code that use server-side includes after I perform the installation [blue](2)[/blue]?

(1) I met no issues while I installed Apache. By the way, that was Apache 2.0.
Just download one of the versions labeled "Win32 Binary (MSI Installer)" from

http://httpd.apache.org/download.cgi

.

(2) Not sure, but if is not set/enabled by default, just edit the \Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\conf\httpd.conf file. Make sure the following lines are present and are not commented out ( I mean, they have no sharp ( # ) at the beginning of their line ) :

LoadModule include_module modules/mod_include.so

Options Includes
[gray]# or[/gray]
Options All

AddType text/html .shtml
AddOutputFilter INCLUDES .shtml

The [tt]Options[/tt] directive may be abit tricky, will talk about it if needed.

Note that all above is for Apache 2.0, may differ in other versions. You can also consult the documentation's related section :

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/howto/ssi.html#configuring

Also note that the modifications made in httpd.conf are not applied on the fly, so they will be used when the server is next (re)started.
