Server side include problem

[Paul F. Johnson]

Hi,

I seem to be having a problem with server side includes.

Say I have a file called foo.html. For me to use a SSI, I normally just
have in it <!-- #include virtual="includes/ssifile.shtml" --> and that
has worked in the past (it actually works now, but only through a hack
in the apache.conf file on a server, which also seems broken now).

The page causing the problem can be found at

http://www.agilenorth.org.uk/callforpapers-problem.html with the non-SSI
version being www.agilenorth.org.uk/callforpapers.html

Am I doing this right or is there something else I need to do. I have
tried a number of things (such as changing foo.html to foo.shtml and
that does nothing). The server it is on does support SSI.

Rename foo.html to foo.shtml and it should work, if SSI is supported on
that server.

www.agilenorth.org.uk/callforpapers-problem.shtml gives the same problem
as before. I'm assured SSI is on the server.

Try removing the space between <!-- and #include

Hi,

Change the extension to .shtml and remove the space from the <!-- and
all is well in the world.

Your starter for 10, why is <!-- # and <!--# treated differently?

Just a guess with my 2 cent. The <!-- is a "start tag" for a comment
in html, and the --> is the ending of the same comment. So the whole
include part from the # to the last " is just a comment that the
server ignores?

Top posters will be ignored. Quote the part you
are replying to, no more and no less! And don't
quote signatures, thank you.

Hmm... if I remember correctly <! indicates the start of a markup
declaration, and it's -- that delimits the comment. Presumably --# can
be defined to indicate something else, overriding the normal --? (A
space after -- isn't required in a comment, is it?)
