Ever since XAMPP 1.7.7 my server side includes (SSI) do not work. I assume the newer versions of XAMPP probably have a new configuration of some sort. But when I install the older v1.7.7, everything works fine. I keep getting an error msg when I click on a SSI page " [an error occurred while processing this directive] ". My SSI pages are a .SHTML extension.

I'm sure its some very simple switch/change to activate it, but can somebody kindly give me some direction on how to get my SSI to work again in the newer versions of XAMPP?

Any info would be greatly appreciated!!!

You need an AllowOverride of Includes or All set for the directory you're calling them from. Apache's error.log should say something about it.

Hi gsmith,

Can you elaborate on your above solution? Is this something configured/set in XAMPP?

Thanks!

I doubt I can elaborate on it any better than the docs do
