SSI works in ASP but not HTML and HTM

[sciclunam]

Hi

I have a server side include
<!--#include file="inc_search.html" -->

It works in asp and shtml but not in htm, html and shtm

Is this something my service provider can do?

You have answered your question yourself ! "server-side" include is precisely that.

In technolgies like JSP/ASP/SHTML, the server knows that it must first process the file using the appropriate engine before chucking the resulting html file at the client/browser. But in plain HTML files, the server will just fire them straight to the browser without any pre-processing.

Thanks but I have another website where I use include virtual and works fine. I think I had to add some lines in the .htaccess but I am not sure about this.

The .htaccess where ssi works has the following lines

Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes
AddType application/x-httpd-cgi .cgi
addType text/x-server-parsed-html .html
AddHandler server-parsed .htm

I think the last 2 lines are doing it.

Hi mate,

If your site in your signature is the one you are trying to so this on, it's running Apache 1.3.31, so try the following in an htaccess file:

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

Hope this helps

Sorry, should have read your post more clearly:

AddHandler server-parsed .shtml .htm .html .shtm

Hope this helps

How can you check on what server it is running?

Thanks

How about Microsoft Documentation?

This is the part explaining how to enable SSI includes:

http://www.microsoft.com/windows200...ndows2000/en/server/iis/htm/core/iisienab.htm

Follow the 'Setting Application Mappings' link to the next page which should provide you with all the information about how to add new extensions to the list.

Hope it helps.
