apache server side includes help SSI

[eclark]

I am running apache 1.3.12 on linux slackware. Cgi scripts are working fine, but for the life of me, I cannot get ssi to work. Tried scripts that work fine, but when I try the exec tag, nothing. I have read through many forums and documents. Not matter what options or directives I try to configure in httpd.conf, it still does not work. Note I am only using the one httpd.conf file. I have uncommented the following:
AddHandler cgi-script .cgi

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

and the document root is set for Options Indexes
FollowSymLinks Includes.

I have tried many different combinations of options.

Any help would be great,thanks in advance.

I ran into the exact same problem trying to enable it on NT. Strangely, however, I later installed Apache on my 98 machine and SSI worked fine after configuration. I'm not sure what the problem is. Sorry I can't be of more help.

Did you compile Apache yourself? Maybe SSI support is not compiled into it (mod_include).

I have ssi working now. Hopefully some poor sole that is in the shoes I was in can learn something from this. Below is was my solution. Never under estimate the httpd.conf.



The <Directory> directive for /var/lib/apache/htdocs appeared twice in
httpd.conf, with the second one overriding the first.

In httpd.conf file, I made the following changes:

Line 379: Added &quot;/*&quot; to end of /var/lib/apache/htdocs
Line 388: Added Includes ExecCGI
Line 615: Commented-out line which had syntax error (reported by
httpd)

Kudos to Dave at domain-zone.com for his help.
