Apache for Windows

Anyone out there using the Windows version of Apache? I can't get server
side includes to work and could use some advice.

Thanks

I just replied to you first post. Yes, I have been using Apache on Windows for
over 5 years. I use the 'virtual' include like this:

<!--#include virtual="/file.inc"-->

I use a version of Apache 2.0 as a development platform on a Win/XP
laptop, yes. Not a lot, but I use it.

Please put the subject of your posting in the "Subject" of your
posting. Thanks.

(We already know it's about Windows - it's in the name of the group.
There's a pretty high probability it's about Apache, since that's the
most-often-used HTTPD. So you pretty-much wasted your chance to
attract anyone interested in the subject of your posting. Might I
suggest perusing http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
for some really useful advice on how to get the best out of usenet,
and which also stands one in good stead in other forums.)

SSI works for me, but I actually use XBitHack, as it most closely
resembles what I do on the production server. The difference is that
on unix-like platforms, one gets to control the operation of xbithack
by setting the owner- (and if appropriate also the group-) execute
bits on the file. On Win32 there's no direct equivalent, and the
documentation:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod....html#xbithack is a
bit coy[1] about what happens on the Win32 platform, although it's
obvious from reading the module's source code.

http://search.cpan.org/~rkobes/Apach.../WinBitHack.pm
might also be of interest in that regard.

But maybe you didn't want to use xbithack anyway. You don't really
give us much to go on.

A common error is to insert a space between the start of the
comment tag and the SSI directive, because "it looks better".
Wrong:
<!-- #include
Right:
<!--#include

And of course SSI has to be activated in httpd.conf:
LoadModule include_module modules/mod_include.so
(by default it is active)
