How to set up Server Side Includes on Apache, assuming you already have Apache installed.
Server Side Includes are a very simple way of performing a limited Server Side Programming. For instance, you can have the server assemble one single document by merging smaller ones (with the #include directive), you can display data on the file itself (with the date_local directive, and many more), and if security is none of your concern, you can even execute local programs.
Enable the Includes module
sudo a2enmod include
This creates a SymbolicLink in mods-enabled of the config file in mods-available.
Editing config
Open the /sites-available/default file...
gksudo gedit /etc/apache2/sites-available/default
find this section...
<Directory /var/www/>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
allow from all
</Directory>and edit it to look like this:
<Directory /var/www/>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews Includes
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
allow from all
DirectoryIndex index.shtml
</Directory>You need to add Includes to the end of the end of the Options. You can leave out the final added line if you don't want includes in index pages.
Note that on some older versions of Ubuntu, the /etc/apache2/mods-available/mime.conf might not contain the required AddType and AddOutputFilter directives for .shtml. and so another two lines will be required in /etc/apache2/sites-available/default:
<Directory /var/www/>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews Includes
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
allow from all
AddType text/html .shtml
AddOutputFilter INCLUDES .shtml
DirectoryIndex index.shtml
</Directory>
Restart Apache
For the changes to effect you will need to restart Apache with
sudo apache2ctl restart
Test it works
Create a SSI test file and save it under /var/www/ssi-test.shtml.
<html> <head> <title>SSI Test Page</title> </head> <body> <!--#echo var="DATE_LOCAL" --> </body> </html>
In your WebBrowser, go to http://127.0.0.1/ssi-test.shtml.
If your browser displays the local date (eg Sunday, 18-Mar-2012 11:12:56 PDT), SSI is working!
