SSI = nothing, after setting everything up!

Ok, I have done everything that should enable SSI

code looks like:


I have included 'inc' files for SSI. I have set SSI to be on.

Everything.

When I view 127.0.0.1 on my computer (using Abyss for testing - using CVS because I dont edit on a live site) or on any other machine. The include files do not work. When I view the source in IE, I see "" instead of the data in metadata.inc.

I have confirmed:
1) The file exists
2) My syntax is correct
3) I get the same results on other networked computers
4) SSI is turned on
5) The extension inc has been added
6) the server has been restarted many times

Whats the deal?

Server Side Includes - Problem

Ok , I can help you on this because im good at this
Website configuration , did you rename your .html to .shtml

Quick Tip:

You can also type an extension for a SSI as .html so you
can run the script in a regular html page. Later! :D

gentle_ben,

It is the file that contains this directive that must have its extension declared as an SSI extension. In short, you can rename your file from .htm or .html to .shtml (as already suggested by TRUSTPunk).
Adding inc to the SSI extensions doesn't matter since it isn't the file that must be processed by the SSI engine.
