Hello,
I am trying to implement a Server Side Include HTML footer file on an HTML page. I am running on an Apache web server. It is not displaying, and I am sure it's b/c I don't have the proper rules/configurations in the .htaccess file.
This is what I currently have in my .htaccess that pertains to includes:
Options +Includes
XBitHack on
-I enabled non-executable server side includes in the control panel
-I created the include file, and called it using <!--#include virtual="footer.html"--> from the html page.
Why isn’t it working? Does another web server configuration or .htaccess configuration need to take place for it to work? I am not very familiar with Apache, chmod, directives, etc.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I can't change the page names to .shtml, and would like to have this work as .html.
Thanks!
Greg

Probably the best tutorial about SSI Includes I've seen is here.
You either need your pages to have the .shtml extension or you need to tell the server to parse your .html pages as .shtml.

Thanks for the help...the tutorial you pointed me to was helpful, but left out the 'handler'. Once I added that it worked.
For anyone's future reference, this is the combo that worked in my .htaccess file...
Options +Includes
AddType text/x-server-parsed-html .html
AddHandler server-parsed .html
Thanks!
Greg

You are supposed to name your pages as .shtml and then includes will work "out of the box".
Since you didn't change the name they use, then yes, you have to add the handler declaration.

Whatever you do, don't name your pages .shtml, ssi is such a weak scripting language that the odds are very high that you will dump it in favor of a real one soon in the future, like php. Personally, I have never understood why anyone uses ssi when it's so easy to do php includes.

When you set the XbitHack on, you need to set the file permission to execute for the SSI to fire. Chmod the file to 755 (one of the many options). Unless you set the file permission, the server will not know which file to parse.
Setting this "AddType text/x-server-parsed-html .html" will force the server to parse all html pages, adding to the server overhead. XbitHack avoids the extra overhead. If you run a modest sized site, it may not matter much. But a heavy traffic to some of the parsed pages might present server overload.
