SSI w/ IIS 5.1 doesn't work - same as chanshuk, that soln doesn't fit

Reply Contact

I must be missing something obvious, but I don't know what it is. 'testInclude.html' and 'test.shtml' are in c:/Inetpub/wwwroot. testInclude (from 'view source') looks like this:

<html>
<head>
<title>Test</title>
</head>
<body>
SSI include directive follows this line. <br />
<!-- #include file="test.shtml" -->
<!-- #include virtual="test.shtml" -->
<br />SSI include directive preceeds this line.
</body>
</html>

Since this is from 'view source', the include directives should not appear but (a) they do and (b) of course the page does not display the included text.

'test.shtml' contains a single line of text:

this text is in 'test.shtml'

In the IIS 'control panel' Properties for  all web sites, .shtm and .shtml are mapped to ssinc.dll in 'system32' and it exists.

what am i missing???

I must admit I don't really understand what your problem is. What error you are gertting,etc?

But the include lines are commented out in the html is that your intention?

I'm trying to use #include to include the text contained in 'test.shtml' in 'testInclude.html'. "View Source" (and the rendered page) should look like

SSI include directive follows this line. <br />
this text is in 'test.shtml'
<br />SSI include directive preceeds this line.

As I read http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms525940.aspx, the #include directive must be in a comment:

Syntax

More generally (ie, not MS) see for example http://www.htmlgoodies.com/beyond/webmaster/article.php/3473341

Just curious - what are you doing that requires SSI?

I want to insert the contents of a file (test.shtml) into a web page (testInclude.html).

Sorry about the lack of clarity. From numerous articles on the web, this looked pretty straightforward.

Right ... but why are you using shtml?

Shouldn't testInclude.html be testInclude.shtml if you want it be processed as SSI?
