.shtml not being parsed

**Sash** · 03-23-2003 03:38 PM

We have a client who is trying to use a SSI on a page named test.shtml. The problem is the server is not parsing the SSI inside of that file. If you view the source you see the SSI.

Has anyone run into this problem? What on the server tells the web server to parse .shtml pages.

Note: SSIs and .shtml pages work fine on every other site.

Thanks
Mike

Can you post an example of the problem code?

**Sash** · 03-23-2003 10:37 PM

Sure:

BEGIN
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<html>

<title>Quick Tips</title>

<body>
<h3>Quick Tip</h3>


<br><br>
<center><a href="javascript:window.close();" class="mainlinks">Close Window</a>
<br>
<br>
</body>
</html>
END

Thanks,

I've never put a space between the <!-- and the # sign, but....

vi /usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf

and look for: AddHandler server-parsed .shtml

You can also put that in their .htaccess to see if thats the problem. (I guess the latter is the easier and quicker of the two).

It's there.

Using pico and ctrl+w to find it instead of vi.

cat /home/[username]/public_html/.htaccess

There has to be something throwing it off. Is CGI enabled on the account?

You might throw "AddHandler server-parsed .shtml" into their .htaccess file (see above) to make sure everythings enabled for them.

Contents:

AddHandler server-parsed .shtm
AddHandler server-parsed .asp

I have added:

AddHandler server-parsed .shtml

That is what fixed the problem for us.

Answering on behalf of Nils: removing the space solved the problem for us too...

Thanx guys!

Solved it for us too, thanks.

I cannot get any SSI with cmd= to work. Here is a very simple example:



Any ideas why?

I also cannot get SSI to work now. Was working fine, updated cpanel which I belive updates Apache? And now ssi will not work. I have checked httpd.conf and it looks correct.



I am running pretty much the same Apache build on a server which is using DirectAdmin and I do not have the SSI issues.

Anyone?

running /scripts/easyapache

unckeck perl mod
