Server Side Includes with apache on os x

[tmelkonian]

Hi. I cant seem to get server side includes to work on my apache web server on os X (jaguar 10.2.6). I have read many articles and tried various metods but no luck. ( i was successful getting PHP running ).

I have changed my http.conf file to include:
AddType text/html .shtml
AddHandler server-parsed .shtml
AddHandler server-parsed .html

I have also set "Options Includes" inside
<Directory "Library/WebServer/Documents" >
I have also tried using .htaccess files and XBit Hack, but all to no avail so I am stumped. If anyone has any tips or can point me to a good source of info I would appreciate it.


thanks!

I thought you would have more responses by now. Here are some
things to look for:

1) Are you sure you have the Option Includes in the correct place?

2) Is mod_includes enabled? (I think that is the name).

If that does not help, you might try posting the whole httpd.conf file.

Thanks for the response. I got it to work shortly after i posted the question. I had to put the Options Includes inside specific <Directory> tags. It seems I have to put:
<Directory "/Users/tommelkonian/Sites/(site directory)" >
Options Includes
</Directory>

for each project I have in the Sites directory. For some reason it wont work like this (the directories beneath won't work.) :
<Directory "/Users/tommelkonian/Sites" >
Options Includes
</Directory>

Also I cant sem to get it to work with .htaccess files...

But I'm satified it works!!

thanks again!
