Apache on win32. Great, but I cant get SSI to work.

Have tried following the weak manual. Can not find an apache forum :( Anyone use this and know how to do it?

thanks,

what do you have on this line, and what is the exstension you are using?
<IfModule mod_dir.c>
DirectoryIndex index.htm index.html
</IfModule>

I have apache on windows but never tried the SSI. I can mess around with it for you and see what I get.
and you have to uncomment these line, if not all ready
#
# To use server-parsed HTML files
#
AddType text/html .shtml
AddHandler server-parsed .shtml

Thanks, I hadnt seen those uncommented lines and it fixed the problem. I have one more question. After installing ActivePerl, how do I get Apache to run cgi/pl scripts?

Much thanks,

Andrew

ok that is a difficult question as I have tried to explain it to some other people and I have found out that you can go to this page and get all your answers to your questions as far as php,cgi,mysql to run on apache on windows, much easier. :)

good luck and if you have more questions just come back here and post them

Thanks it went well and I now have perl. Shall begin php testing soon enough :) Apache may be harder to set up but it sure kicks IIS all over once running.

btw, there is an error in that manual which causes shtml files to be executed as cgi scripts.

Thanks again for you help.
