Topic awaiting preservation: Using includes with PHPDev on XP

I am running PHPDev on my XP to test PHP and Perl scripts. I need to configure the Apache to have "include" files. So that I can use

" <!--#include virtual="news.cgi" -->" in my page to include a news.cgi Perl script.

I have done this before but since I had to reformat my hard drive I lost the config file. I am at a loss looking through the httpd.conf in Apache and searching on sites has not led me to any resolution. Any suggestions?


Thanks in advance.

OK, it still isn't working. Can someone tell me where all I need to change on the .htaccess file?

Thanks in advance.

lookie here

Easiest is to do it in your httpd.conf or commonhttpd.conf as opposed to .htaccess

Thanks bit! I just got through reading that.

I am going to try this again.

OK, this is really starting to get on my nerves!

Here is what I changed:

in the .http.conf
Options Indexes Includes FollowSymLinks MultiViews ExecCGI
I added the "Includes" part
and
AddType text/html .shtml
AddHandler server-parsed .shtml
I uncommented these lines

In the .htaccess
DirectoryIndex index.shtml index.htm index.html
I added the "index.shtml"


So what am I missing. The script works on the server, so I know it's not the script itself. I have the path in the CGI script set right I know. So. . . any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

OK, I added this:

<Directory "C:/phpdev/www/cgi-bin">
AllowOverride None
Options Includes
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>

And. . . it still doesn't work.

Not entirely sure.
I'll tell you what when I get home (which should be soon) I'll email you my config files I'm running the same setup.

one thing AllowOverride is what allows .htaccess files to work. So in your httpd.conf you want
AllowOverride All

to enable .htaccess files.

That sounds great. I appreciate it.

Hey CPrompt,

Did you get it working yet? I forgot to include the part about DirectoryIndex index.shtml index.htm index.html in the email I sent you. Check the httpd.conf I sent along with it to find out where it goes.

Yep, I got it Piper. I sent you back an email. I am getting ready as we speak to get it going.
If I have any problems I will email you or just post here.

Bit, if you want I can send you the stuff that Piper sent to me. (That is, if I can get it working too )

Thanks!
