Enabling SSI with Apache

Mr_Oz · 04-10-2006, 08:17 AM

Hi,

I need to enable Server Side Includes on my Apache server. I have found information but I am just a little confused on where to put the information I reaearched. For exmaple some sites tell me to put in the Oprion +Includes in the http.conf file. Problem is, i do not know where to put these statements. I use the UserDir so users can use their home directories as web sites? Can someone just walk me through exactly what I need to do.

Thanks.

look in /etc for a folder called "apache[2]" or "http[d]"

the httpd.conf file should be below that point.

They go inside a Directory section.
If you only want it to apply to the userdir's, put it in the /home/*/public_html.
If you want it to be global, or under DocumentRoot, put it in the appropriate Directory section for that.

...and it looks like secesh got to this while I was typing.

eh. i prefer to put them under a "files" directive. that way, all *.shtml files can be included, no matter what directory they are in.

Thanks guys. Here is my UserDir code. Is where is this correct?

<Directory /home/*/public_html>
AllowOverride FileInfo AuthConfig Limit
#Options MultiViews SymLinksIfOwnerMatch
Options MultiViews Indexes ExecCGI
Options Includes
<Limit GET POST OPTIONS PROPFIND>
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Limit>
<LimitExcept GET POST OPTIONS PROPFIND>
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
</LimitExcept>
</Directory>
