Problem with enabling SSI on Mac OS X 10.5.6

[happyjohn]

hello everyone,

please really need your help. The problem is simple - my SSI code, which I implemented into the .html file doesn't work. I put this line:

<!--#include file="LoginForm.shtml" -->

where LoginForm.shtml is a file in the same directory.

I've also read that I need to turn on the SSI in the httpd.conf file. So I think I did that. Here is what I did:

1. Added "Includes" into the Option line - both in the <Directory/> and in the <Directory "/Library/WebServer/Documents">

2. Uncommented 2 lines "AddType text/html .shtml" and "AddOutputFilter INCLUDES .shtml"

So I thought after that everything would work just fine. However it wasn't happened I then read lots of stuff in the net which was very different from one to another resource, I've read the Apache official documentation - everything was right, but nothing worked. I then added in the in the <Directory "/Library/WebServer/Documents"> 2 lines - "AddType text/html .shtml" and "AddHandler server-parsed .shtml".

Nothing works though. Please help me to solve this issue. Dunno what to do else.

My config - Apache 2.2 running on Mac OS X 10.5.6, MySQL 5, PHP 5

Any help would be highly appreciated!!!

P.S. Here's my httpd.conf file.

I'll start with a possible simple solution. After making the changes to the httpd.conf file, did you restart the web server? That's a required step.

Also, what is the current results? Essentially, how do you know it's not working?

Edit: Oh, do you have that #include state inside a file with a .html extension? That would be an issue. It needs the shtml extension to be parsed.

Oh my God!!!!

I was really crazy!!! Thanks mate you've put me into the solution lol!!! Of course I restart Apache after I made every change in my httpd.conf file, though I didn't see such a obvious thing like file extension. The #include statement was in usual .html file, because I thought I need to use .shtml at those files, which would be included, but not in main one. I'll try to check it now! Though something is whispering me it should work!

Thanks angelwatt!
