How do I configure my server
to allow server side includes
from any directory?

   Site

   Server

You must alter a configuration file.

Before you proceed, read about configuration files for your http server. You'll find information in the virtual server handbook you received when you ordered a server. Also, don't overlook the source. Your web server software is NCSA HTTPD 1.5.1. You'll find helpful information on NCSA's pages.

To allow CGI's to be executed from any directory do the following:

  1. Uncomment out the following "AddType" directive in the srm.conf file:
    AddType text/x-server-parsed-html .html

    You may want to add a Type for .htm files:
    AddType text/x-server-parsed-html .htm

  2. Add an Includes option to the Options for your Root Document declaration in the access.conf file:
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes
