SSI now disabled by default?

[SuperBaby]

Since yesterday SSI (include virtual) suddenly failed to parse. I have checked under:

WHM >> Apache Configuration >> Global Configuration

and the settings are correct.

I noticed that SSI works if I manually add "Options +Includes" to the htaccess file in the root directory of all accounts. But how do I do it globally?

What's your full cPanel/WHM version information (for example: cPanel 11.24.7-E35784 - WHM 11.24.4 - X 3.9)?

cPanel 11.24.4-R35075 - WHM 11.24.2 - X 3.9
REDHAT Enterprise 5.2 i686 standard

Earlier it was the stable version. After I logged a support ticket to my server ISP, they moved my cPanel from stable version to release version. Still the problem is there. I have to manually add "Options +Includes" to the main htaccess file of all accounts.

On that screen, do you have any settings disabled (e.g. IncludesNoExec)?

 

[SuperBaby]

Everything are turned ON (ticked) except "MultiView".

I have also moved to the latest Release version of cPanel and recompile Apache. Same problem.

In that case, I recommend submitting a support ticket about this issue: http://tickets.cPanel.net/submit

I feel weird as I don't see other people complaining about this problem.

Not just you - I have just performed an apache recompile and have experienced the same issue. Using SSI to include a CGI file failed; however, including another file (header, footer etc) worked fine.

The solution of Options +Includes in htaccess worked. Now to find where to place it in cpanel so it sticks with further upgrades.

These settings are governed by going to WHM -> Apache Configuration -> Global Configuration

If you have IncludesNOEXEC checked, then you will be unable to execute CGI via a Server-Side Include (SSI) despite being able to include other non-executable files (header and footer HTML files, for example).
