Apache Server-Side Includes Refuse to Work (Tried everything in the docs but still no joy)
- by raindog308
Trying to get apache server-side includes to work. Really simple - just want to include a footer on each page.
Apache 2.2:
# ./httpd -v
Server version: Apache/2.2.21 (Unix)
Server built: Dec 4 2011 18:24:53
Cpanel::Easy::Apache v3.7.2 rev9999
mod_include is compiled in:
# /usr/local/apache/bin/httpd -l | grep mod_include
mod_include.c
And it's in httpd.conf:
# grep shtml httpd.conf
AddType text/html .shtml
DirectoryIndex index.html.var index.htm index.html index.shtml index.xhtml index.wml index.perl index.pl index.plx index.ppl index.cgi index.jsp index.js index.jp index.php4 index.php3 index.php index.phtml default.htm default.html home.htm index.php5 Default.html Default.htm home.html
AddHandler server-parsed .shtml
AddType text/html .shtml
In the web directory I created a .htaccess with
Options +Includes
And then in the document, I have:
<h1>next should be the include</h1>
<!--#include virtual="/footer.html" -->
<h1>include done</h1>
And I see nothing in between those headers. Tried file=, also with/without absolute path.
Is there something else I'm missing?
I see the same thing on another unrelated server (more or less stock CentOS 6), so I suspect the problem is between keyboard and chair...
