Debian and Apache 2 server side include

[damianburrin]

Hi guys,

I'm running Debian v 2.6.8.1-386 with Apache 2.

What ever i do i cannot get .shtml files to run as serverside includes. I'm trying to run a perl script from a webpage.

I've edited the apache2.conf file to add

AddType text/html .shtml
<FilesMatch "\.shtm(\.+)?$">
SetOutputFilter INCLUDES
</FilesMatch>

I've also tried the old command of
AddOutputFilter INCLUDES .shtml

In my 000defualt file i've added

INCLUDES and Ive tried Includes and i've tried +Includes to the directory options for document root /var/www and directory /var/www i've even tried adding it to the directory for the cgi-bin

I've restarted apache and rebooted the server but it just won't work.

The perl script runs fine i run it from the cgi-bin direct

I'm trying to call it by

<div align="center"><font face="Comic Sans MS" color="Red"><BR><BR><h1>
<!-- #exec cgi="cgi-bin/quote.cgi"--></h1></font></div>

And in desperation i tried

<!--#include virtual="/cgi-bin/quote.cgi"-->

Any help will be greatly apreciated.

Thanks

Damian

I'm having the same problem with Apache 2. I've modified every confirguration file I can find, and restarted the server after each attempt, yet server side includes simply do not work.

Is there anyone with SSI working on their Debian apache2 installation? If so, what does your apache2.conf file look like?

Sorted it's not the config at all but a missing module. Use the package manager to add this module

a2enmod include

Restart Apache2

SSI will now work though you will have to use the virutal call method
