Ok let me explain it again www.ftc.gov and www.consumer.gov are running on apache version 1.3.31 with server side includes enabled. www.consumer.gov has a url in its main page pointing to http://www.ftc.gov/ftc/privacy.htm when clicked on this link while apache 1.3.31 is running the page appears (which actually loads the page http://www.ftc.gov/ftc/privacy.shtm). The document root has no such file called privacy.htm However the same link does not work (page not found error 404) when apache 2.2.3 version is running. Httpd.conf on 2.2.3 is same as 1.3.31 except addition of two lines as (AddOutputFilter INCLUDES .shtml, AddOutputFilter INCLUDES .shtm) Httpd.conf for 1.3.31 was configured as below to enable SSI and work fine with the below configuration # # DirectoryIndex: Name of the file or files to use as a pre-written HTML # directory index. Separate multiple entries with spaces. # <IfModule mod_dir.c> DirectoryIndex index.html index.htm index.jsp index.shtml index.shtm </IfModule> # # This should be changed to whatever you set DocumentRoot to. # <Directory "/usr/www/ftc"> # # This may also be "None", "All", or any combination of "Indexes", # "Includes", "FollowSymLinks", "ExecCGI", or "MultiViews". # # Note that "MultiViews" must be named *explicitly* --- "Options All" # doesn't give it to you. # Options FollowSymLinks MultiViews Includes # Turn on Server side includes AddType text/html .shtml AddHandler server-parsed .shtml AddType text/html .shtm AddHandler server-parsed .shtm --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
