Server side includes not visible on apache

Hi when i upload an HTML file with includes on an apache server the includes are not visible. I used the "virtual" parameter. on a windows server it works, also local works everything great. i also tested with PM "file" didn't work. can someone help me out? Thnx

>Hi when i upload an HTML file with includeson an apache server the includes are not visible.
The includes are not visible, but is the include code visible in the source code? That will tell whether the server is parsing for includes. By default, the server is probably set not to parse .html files for includes. Read the link that SnakEyez suggested, but also be aware that you can configure your server to parse .htm(l) for includes.

Server Side Includes not displaying in DW CS3 design view

I have this code in my page (see below):
When I open the file in Dreamweaver MX 2004 in design view,
the page displays correctly. That is, I see the correct styles from
the style sheet contained in Head_Standard.html and the logo/menu
in Logo_TopMenu.html
When I open the page in DW CS3, I do not see the effects of
the style sheet and I do not see the logo/menu.
However, when I change the code for the first include from:
virtual="/ServerSide
to
virtual="
../../ServerSide
then the page renders correctly in Dreamweaver CS3.
My first reaction was: what?! And my question is: how do I
use a root reference inside the head and get it to display properly
in DW CS 3?

"Go to Edit > Preferences > Invisible Elements >
Server-Side Includes (Check this box) to show contents of included
file"
I already do this.
For me:
/ServerSide... does NOT work
../../ServerSide... works
So, a relative reference works and a reference to the root
does not. I have over 20 websites with root references and I need
this to work in DW9.

Server Side Includes not rendering correctly in Firefox with Layers

Hi
The server side includes are not correctly rendering with layers in firefox. From my site here:-
http://www.osteriastecca.com/index.php
the home_page.php content renders above a layer on the index.php page. Initially I thought this might be a Flash layer issue but the wmode is set correctly to transparent and it works fine with a normal ssi. It also works fine in Firefox without a server side include as you can see here:-
http://www.osteriastecca.com/index_old.php
Works fine in IE and Safari, but not Firefox.
How can this be rectified?

What testing server setup do you have? Are you using something like WAMP?
What do you see on screen which tells you the SSIs are not rendering? Any error message?

Server-side includes not rendering

Hi, I'm on CS5.5 (Windows operating environemnt). The server-side includes are not rendering in Live view now, whereas they were previously. Is this some sort of configuration issue, if so can you help me fix it.

Server-side includes not working

Running CF9.x on Apache 2.2 Win 7.
I inherited an older html multiple page site that we are breaking down into includes using html server-side includes:
e.g. , and saving the page as a .html file, which is then <cfincluded> in a .cfm file.
Is there a way to get  include working on a CF page? All I see is the contents of the page, but none of the sidebar.html, or header.html, etc.
I know I could switch to cfincludes, but the boss LOVES to muck around with the html side of things.
TIA,
Doug

I know I could switch to cfincludes, but the boss LOVES to muck around with the html side of things.
All the more reason to do it, surely?
But anyway...
I've never used a server-side include, but it looks to me that they just load the file and return it at that position in the document.
For CF code to be executed, the file needs to be REQUESTED, so it won't be a starter with server-side includes.

Server-side includes not showing in new DW CS5.5. Any suggestions?

I have used DW for years and years and have never had any problems. I just installed CS5.5 and am not seeing my php includes in the design pane. I've searched the forums but have not found a working answer.
I'm editing files I've edited in CS5 and earlier with no problem.
I've checked the server-side includes box in the configuration but no change occurs.
Does anyone have any suggestions?

Server Side Include not functioning the same across website

digitaldealershipsystem.com

** this is the navigation pulldown.
This works on most of the main pages
When you go to
digitaldealershipsystem.com/live.html
digitaldealershipsystem.com/live2.html
digitaldealershipsystem.com/live3.html
The same is included but does not work on Chrome, but does work on Firefox
To restate, the naming is the same on all web pages, and it works on Chrome -- except for these "live" pages
On Firefox, they work on all pages, included live pages
For testing purposes on the following page, I tried 'virtual' file and that did not change the results in either browser
digitaldealershipsystem.com/live4.html
My thoughts:
If there is a conflict on the page, then why only is Chrome being effected
Any ideas?

If clearing the cache does not help, then check your code validation - you have several errors. Server side includes are browser independant - because they are assembled on the server, not the client. If there's a difference in rendering between browsers, it has to do with your html/css and has nothing to do with SSI.

Server Side Includes for Apache and parsing text files

I have an old website I used to do zipped up and I decided to set it up on my personal webserver in OS X . I got apache configured to allow server side includes (edited the httpd.conf to all them:
<Directory />
Options FollowSymLinks Indexes MultiViews Includes
AllowOverride None
</Directory>
But I can't get the pages to come up. See I have this .shtml page which loads fine and a part of it has this line:

But it won't parse that txt file and show the html that its formatted in.
Anyone have any ideas on how to get it to parse that txt file? Even if I load just that txt file it shows raw code not it formatted. Please help.

Ignore that first reply. I thought I was dealing with server.
As usual, I fogot to make sure that Includes was in the Options directive for the DOCUMENT_ROOT or VirtualHost. After 10 years, you'd think I'd remember that. I just configged one of my macs to do SSI. Here's the 3 lines that I changed:
Line 399 (the DOCUMENT_ROOT definition): Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews Includes
Line 887 (To use server parsed HTML): AddType text/html .shtml
Line 888: AddHandler server-parsed .shtml
apachectl restart
and off it went!

Server side include does not appear in browser

I've imbedded a server side include within an html file. I
can see it in the Dreamweaver design previewer, but it does not
appear when displaying the html in a browser. I've tried saving the
included file as "html", "htm", "shtml", and "shtm". Nothing seems
to work.
Any guesses?

On apache, you have to use either shtm(l), or PHP. And in the
event that
you use the latter, the include directives must be PHP
includes, not HTML
includes, e.g., this -
<?php require('includes/foo.php') ?>
not this -

Server side includes: outdated and not supported by host?

I've been using SSI's for ages with no problem from any host. Recently I signed up with a new web hosting company, one of the more established ones in the Seattle area. They do not support SSI's and claim that using them is not safe and is not a modern approach to web design. They suggested I use a more advanced programming language to create my sites, such as ASP.NET (something I have no desire to do).
Are server side includes outdated and no longer the way to do things? I find that hard to believe.
-Jesse

Are server side includes outdated and no longer the way to do things? I find that hard to believe.
That language is from Microsoft who seem to think so along with Windows based hosting providers offering ASP.NET.
IIS no longer comes with SSI installed by default. It has to be configured by the hosting provider.
http://blogs.iis.net/robert_mcmurray/archive/2010/12/28/iis-notes-on-server-side-includes- ssi-syntax-kb-203064-revisited.aspx
However, classic SSIs (in the sense of including static content from one page inside another) are still one of the most powerful, safe and flexible tools for managing repetitive page elements in any web page. Not to mention easy.
ASP.NET has its own way of doing the equivalent of SSIs - and lots more beside but much of which does not interest web designers at this stage.

Trouble Testing Server Side Includes using personal web sharing

I am using the book "Standard complant websites using dreamweaver 8" One of the exercises has me testing that server side includes are enabled by creating two files ssi_test.shtml and hello.html. I have placed these two files in the documents subfolder which web server is the main folder.
Since I only see a blank page when I test, the book says I need to tweak the Apache configuration to enable SSI. It says to open httpd.conf file (which I can not find) . I am suppose to insert the following lines: AddType text/html .shtml and Addhandler server-parsed .shtml
Where is this file httpd.conf file located?
How do I modify it?
Thanks for your support

It is in /private/etc/httpd directory.
You will need a file editor that knows how to authenticate or to learn some basics with the command line and unix to use sudo to edit the file.
<pre>sudo pico /private/etc/httpd/httpd.conf</pre> is where I recommend you start if you don't know emacs or vi or another of the fine unix editing tools that are provided...
An article that was intended to fix a different problem - but has all the steps you need to locate the terminal application, learn about sudo, etc... is http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301580

SSI (Server Side Include)

Hi folks.
I have installed J2EE SDK 1.4_03 and I'm interested in using it to develop my personal website locally on my PC. At a later date I wish to upload it to a paid web host.
The reason I have chosen to run a server rather than just accessing html files directly from my hard-drive is because I would like to utilize SSI (Server Side Include). That's really all. I'm not really interested in doing anything too interactive between the viewer and the server! Not yet anyway.
I have found various information online but nothing is working. I'm sure there is information that I am missing or something further I need to do to actually initiate it. The information I have found says to un-comment the various section in the file default-web.xml located in this folder c:\Sun\AppServer\domains\domain1\config for this to be activated globally. Below is a copy and pasted chuck of text that I have un-commented within this file..
Secondly I'm putting my test html pages in the folder C:\Sun\AppServer\domains\domain1\docroot using the include syntax that I have found all over the net such as  & others.
I can not get the thing to work. I'm guessing there is more to it. For a start... am I putting my html pages in the correct folder for this to work? And Is there something I need to do to activate the ssi servlet? The only reason I'm putting my test pages in this folder is because the page at http://localhost:8080 says that I can overwrite the index file to replace it. Is this the correct place for this?
Also this class has me thinking... org.apache.catalina.servlets.SsiInvokerServlet Am I suppose to download this separately and put it somewhere? If so where is it? And where do I put it? I am horribly confused and I can not find any further information on this.
If anyone could help me out on this topic I'd really appreciate it. btw, I'm a beginner in this area... I'd really just like to server html pages with ssi features at this point. Nothing more. The server seems to be working.
Thanks,
Tane

You can always use jsp:include or Apache tiles or something similar. I have not used SSI in a while, but you may want to check out those technologies, as they offer more than simply includes.

Are nested server side includes supported in DW?

Using DW 5.5 on Win 7, Apache 2.2 setup. Does DW Design view support nested server-side includes? I have to work on an old legacy site with nested ssi's that I haven't worked on for quite awhile, and I noted that while working on a page the left side column was not displaying in Display mode, so where the left column should be is just an empty blank div.
I could swear that DW used to display the nested ssi's, but looking at it now, it certainly isn't.
The left side column is just a div that is ssi included in the bodies of the pages ( nothing special ). It ssi includes various pieces such as news, announcements, etc. Everything displays fine on the website, but in the Design view the nested SSI's don't display.
Thanks,
Doug

Ken, yes it's an include(s) inside an include. In this case the leftcolumn.html is server-side included in all the pages on the site. Inside the leftcolumn.html are four server-side includes for announcements, news, calendar, and next meeting info. Each of those are separate .html files that are constantly edited. It makes things nice and neat and I can give permission to other people to edit the individual files without screwing up the leftcolumn.html or the whole page. So leftcolumn.html is just a div with a width/margins/background color class and the four server-side includes. Of course you have to tell IIS or Apache you want to allow .html files to use ssi's, but that is simple enough and I think nicer than using .shtml's. YMMV.
What I thought I remembered was that the left column was fully displayed in the Split or Design modes, but I guess I was wrong. All I see is an empty leftcoumn div that has the proper width and background color. I work almost exclusively in DW code view or sometimes Split View, or use another editor like Brackets or CFBuilder, and just switch to a browser to view the pages.

Contribute changing relative path for server-side include

I am using Contribute CS3, version 4.1, and my pages crash
every time a send a draft for review, because Contribute is
rewriting a relative URL in a server-side include.
The server-side include (before I send for review) reads:

After I edit other portions of the page and send the draft
for review, it reads:

Which results in the draft being unreadable.
Is there any way to tell Contribute not to monkey with this
URL? I have hunted, read the forums, checked the knowledge base,
and coming up empy.
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide!! I really
appreciate it!
-Nicholas

Answering my own question.
I researched this complete forum and with taking ideas from
different posts, I was able to figure this out. I thought I would
post it for anyone else needing to know the answer in one place:
Include tags must read:

(Include file is NOT a real HTML doc -- no tags in file
except for CSS, as it would be used if not using Contribute.)
No reference to .dwt needed nor Template created.
No Edit instance tags needed anywhere.
Contribute user navigates to page:
[Upper right corner] Click Choose...
[In my structure] User opens includes folder (double clicks)
User selects THE file (clicks OK)
User clicks on Edit Page button
(Text is now editable.)
User edits text.
User clicks on Publish button.
Worked for me several times trying.

Server-Side Include Issue - Please Help

I am having trouble using server-side includes in
Dreamweaver. When I use the SSI to insert the header file, the
header document shows up on the page in design view, but I cannot
click anything. The cursor turns into a "no sign" no matter where
it is on the page. I cannot see anything but the header document,
and I cannot click outside of it or anywhere else in design view.
When I test the whole document in a web browser it actually seems
to work just fine. I see the header and the other text on the page
(unlike in dreamweaver, I cannot see anything but the header). Also
in Dreamweaver code view, the php tags and the included filename
are in red. This is the code for the test document:

What does the code look like in header.php? Does it have
<html>, <head>
and <body> tags? It should not.
