Allowing Server Side Includes in Any Directory

1. Uncomment out the following "AddType" directive in the ~/www/conf/httpd.conf file on your Virtual Server to designate that all .shtml files be parsed by the web server for server side includes:

   AddType text/html .shtml
   AddHandler server-parsed .shtml
   

   If you also want .html and .htm files to be parsed for server side includes, add the following lines:

   AddHandler server-parsed .html
   AddHandler server-parsed .htm
   

   NOTE: If your Virtual Server was configured before Dec 8, 1998 you should instead uncomment out the following AddType directive in the ~/www/conf/srm.conf file to designate that all .shtml files be parsed by the web server for server side includes: AddType text/x-server-parsed-html .shtml If you also want .html and .htm files to be parsed for server side includes, add the following lines: AddType text/x-server-parsed-html .html AddType text/x-server-parsed-html .htm

2. Add an Includes option to the Options for your Root Document declaration (<Directory /usr/local/etc/httpd/htdocs>) in the ~/www/conf/httpd.conf file:

   Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes

   NOTE: If your Virtual Server was configured before Dec 8, 1998 you will need to make this change in the ~/www/conf/access.conf file instead.

3. Restart your web server:

   % restart_apache
   

4. An alternate way of doing this is uploading a simple .htaccess file with this information:

   Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes
   AddType text/x-server-parsed-html .html
   AddType text/x-server-parsed-html .htm
   

   Please note, if you are running FrontPage2000 server extensions, you will
   need to modify the "existing" .htaccess file.  If you overwrite your existing
   FrontPage2000 .htaccess file, your extensions will no longer work! Careful!!
