Hello, all,
This is my first time trying anything with SSI.
I have Apache 2.2.27 running on Windows (C:\apache), and I have been following a few blogs/posts on how to configure Apache to use server-side includes. I believe that I have everything as it should be.
In C:\apache\conf\httpd.conf:
I uncommented "LoadModule include_module modules/mod_include.so"...
ServerName 127.0.0.1:80
DocumentRoot "C:\ColdFusion10\cfusion\wwwroot"
In my DIRECTORY, I changed the following:
Options FollowSymLinks
to:
Options FollowSymLinks Options
In my DIRECTORY "C:\ColdFusion10\cfusion\wwwroot", I changed the following:
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
to:
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes
I added the following to an IfModule tag:
AddType text/html .shtml
AddOutputFilter INCLUDES .shtml
Then, I create a .shtml file called "menu.shtml", place a few lines just for testing, and include it in another file "csstest.html":
<!--#include file="menu.shtml" -->
.. and it does not work. At all.
What am I missing?
V/r,
^_^
UPDATE: Before anyone asks.. yes, I did stop and restart the Apache service before coming here to ask.

Has anyone managed to get SSI to work on Apache 2.2? Am I missing something in a conf file?

Well. I finally discovered why it wasn't working.
Of the code samples and tutorials that I reviewed in my research for using SSI, I do not recall any of them specifically stating or implying that the parent file must have a .shtml extension. It showed examples of the file to be included having a .shtml extension, but nothing about the file that includes another doing so.
So.. just in case anyone else has this issue, it must be used as such:
main.shtml (parent file):
<!--#include file="child.htm" --> or <!--#include virtual="/test/child.shtml" -->
Note that there must be a space between the last quote of the last variable and the closing comment code. "file" is if the child file is located in the same folder as the parent file; "virtual" is if the child file is in a different folder.
If the child file is not going to be doing any more SSI processing, it can be a .htm or .html file; if it will do more SSI processing, like including the current date/time, then it must be a .shtml file, as well.
HTH,
^_^
