SSI on Apache

[laguila]

In the file /etc/http/http.conf I have made the following 2 modifications:

1) Changed:
<Directory />
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
</Directory>

To:
<Directory />
Options FollowSymLinks Includes
AllowOverride None
</Directory>


2) I have un-commented the following 2 lines:
AddType text/html .shtml
AddHandler server-parsed .shtml

I re-started Apache and it's still not processing the SSI directives on .shtml files. What am I missing? Any help would be most welcome!

In httpd.conf, just after you set the document root, add "Includes" to the line where you set the options. Worked for me.

If you could figure out how to get directory autoindexing working, that would be great. It's driving me nuts.

"[=<"
[Directory "/Library/WebServer/Documents/specialfiles"]
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews +includes
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
[/Directory]

Along with the above suggestion, I had to uncomment the server name line, in /etc/httpd.conf and put my IP address there instead; solved the problem and now works like a charm.

If you're having problems getting SSI's to work on pages in the "Sites" folder in your home directory, then try adding the "Includes" directive to the file with your username in the /etc/httpd/users/ directory.

In other words, if your username is jsmith and your SSI files are in /Users/jsmith/Sites/, then change the jsmith.conf file in /etc/httpd/users/ from:

&lt; Directory &quot;/Users/jsmith/Sites/&quot;&gt;
Options Indexes MultiViews
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
&lt;/Directory&gt;

to

&lt;Directory &quot;/Users/jsmith/Sites/&quot;&gt;
Options Indexes MultiViews Includes
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
&lt;/Directory&gt;

That worked for me! (It seems obvious enough now that that should have been the solution but then, computer problems always seem easier in hindsight! ).

Good luck!
