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 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?

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.

Main.asc server side script not working

Here the simple script i put at server seem like is not working also enclosed screenshot for the adminconsole
my server side file main.asc save at /opt/adobe/fms/application/playtechmnflive/
my doing FMS edge server.
application.allowDebug= true;
application.onAppStart = function(){
        this.eventTime = (new Date().valueOf() + 10000);
        this.timer_int = setInterval(checkForEvent, 1000, this);
function checkForEvent(app){
        var now = new Date().valueOf();
        if(now > app.eventTime) {
                trace("something");
        }else{
                trace("damn");

The script is fine (at least i assume u want the timer working with no errors). The thing is that u can't put any code nor apps on the edge node. Put it on the origin and hook up your edge to that origin.

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.

How do I get Server Side Includes to work with the .html extension?

Do I have to rename the files with .shtml? This is an existing web site that is probably NOT running on an OS X web server, that I want to load onto my Snow Leopard server as a testing environment before uploading to the live site.

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.

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.

Server side function not get called after dispatching cairngorm event second time on same page

Hi All,
I am facing a urgent issue regarding cairngorm event. Actually my page contain 3 button add,delete,save
and clicking of any button I do the respected functionality. For ex:
I click the add button & on clicking of add button I fire a cairngorm evnt & after getting response from server side that the record is added
I displayed a message that the record is added & update the data source.
After addition of the record , with out going to other page if I perform the same functionaly(Like adding another record) on same page the cairngorm
event not call the server side function - after debugging I find out that cairngorm event reach to the corresponding excutecommand function & called that function but it is not calling my server side function & I also din't get any error message .
I dont know why the server side function not get called?. similarly if I try for delete or update case the same things happend. Only for the first time it works properly but not for the second time.
Could any of you please tell me why the cairngorm event not calling the server side function.
Thank you for your kind assistance.
Regards,
Ujjwal

Okay, well I think I've worked out the problem.
In ASP.NET we would typically bind repeating controls such as DataLists and Repeaters manually using <i>Control</i>.DataBind(), because we're usually using a separate class library containing collections for our objects. Seems the SAP Table control doesn't like this approach.
I changed the code so that the databinding is specified on the control, and call the Page's DataBind() method and it all worked fine.
One tip: because the collection I used to bind to is in a separate class library, I receieved a <i>BC306523: Reference required to assembly MyAssemblyName...</i> message, even though I had a reference to the assembly in my project and the DLL is being properly deployed. To fix this, you must include the following directive at the top of the component's ASCX file:
<%@ Assembly Name="AssemblyName" %>

Server Side Includes and Divs

I have a template (dwt) for my site with editable regions for
menus. I want to use Server Side Includes for the menu, as not all
the pages will have the same menu.
I have designed the site template (and pages) with css and
divs. The area for the SSI is a div of size 145x335. The menu which
I want to put inside this div will be a div based menu. I havent
had any luck displaying the Div from the SSI yet. I have been
looking on Google for help, but not much luck. I can get the Div to
appear but the formatting doesnt show up.
Im putting the SSI code in where I want it on the page, but
im not sure exactly which code to get rid of in the shtml file. I
know I need to remove body, head parts etc
My site template uses CSS stored on the document, not an
external css file.
Any ideas?

> Im sure Ive not got it right yet!! My head wont work
lately!
Yes. It's not working well here, either.
Create your template with the editable region. In it, have
links to a) the
general stylesheet for all the pages, and b) the general
stylesheet for all
of the includes (these don't really need to be separate
files). Spawn a
child page, drop in the desired include, and save that page
as
whocares.shtml.
That's it....
The incude files themselves can be names anything you want -
I like the
'monkeybutt' extension, e.g.,
yourinclude.monkeybutt
The include files can make reference to CSS selectors, but
cannot have
embedded CSS rules, or links to external CSS files.
