UBB.Developers Forums Community Development Programming PHP and Server-side Scripting help please

Running win98 se, apache 1.3.17 and the newest perl, been runnng the ubb's no prob, But I cant figure out how to turn on ssi. any help would be apprecited, I have folowwed apaches setup but pages wont load after I change the http.conf after i do. and BTW, is there a Private message that will work without SSI? TIA

You need to add the following to the httpd.conf file.


That will configure Apache to parse .shtml files for SSI directives.

much apprecated.. .. I have something similar to that now. heres what I have now..

# First, we configure the "default" to be a very restrictive set of
# permissions.
#

Options FollowSymLinks ExecCGI
AllowOverride ALL

# SSI confiuration added to default file

Options Indexes FollowSymLinks +Includes ExecCGI
AddHandler server-parsed .shtml
AddType text/html .shtml

# Controls who can get stuff from this server.
#
Order allow,deny
Allow from all




Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes ExecCGI
AddHandler server-parsed .html
AddType text/html .html




#ScriptAlias commented out to allow more restrictive cgi handling
#

Alias /cgi-bin/ "c:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache/cgi-bin/"

# "c:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache/cgi-bin" should be changed to whatever your ScriptAliased
# CGI directory exists, if you have that configured.
#


Options ExecCGI
AddHandler cgi-script .pl .cgi



so does this stuff look right?

Adding that to check .html pages for ssi will slow your server down greatly. If you need ssi coding on all of your ubb html pages I would suggest the html to shtml hack for UBB......
