Very Computer

I have problems using CGI scripts on APACHE 1.0.0, under SOlaris 2.4.
I installed Apache just like it was proposed in /usr/local/etc/httpd.
I add the line:
AddType application/x-httpd-cgi .cgi
in srm.conf, copy /cgi-bin/calendar in /cgi-bin/calendar.cgi
and then include
<!--#exec cgi="/cgi-bin/calendar.cgi"--> in my index.html file.
But the server does not interpret this command, and my
browser just receive the exec tag!
Did I forget something ?
Server is run as root. /cgi-bin is owned by root, but index.html is
owned by a user....

If your CGI scripts are kept in /cgi-bin, there is no need to tack on the .cgi
ending.  The 'AddType application/x-httpd-cgi .cgi' is what you would use if
you want CGI scripts to reside in directories other than /cgi-bin, alongside
html files.  It doesn't hurt to have the .cgi AddType, but it does mean that
if others are putting files on your server, they can also use CGI scripts.

What you really need to do is to add a type that will be defined as server
parsed HTML: 'AddType text/x-server-parsed-html .shtml'.  The line should be
there in srm.conf, but commented out.  Just remove the '#' from the front of
the line.

Then, name your 'index.html' file 'index.shtml', and all should be well.  If
you don't have much load on your server, you could define all .html files to be
x-server-parsed-html, but this increases the load on your server since every
html page serverd must be parsed, whether or not it uses includes.

add "Includes" to the relevant "Options" line(s)

I then renamed the home page to index.html, and tried to turn on XBitHack
in access.conf:

XBitHack Full

and changed the permissions on index.html to:
-rwxr-xr-x   1 davec    adm         6635 Jan 27 22:29 index.html

This resulted in the server totally ignoring the

<!--#include file="blah.html"-->

directive I had.  Does anyone know what is happening?  What other settings
(something in access.conf?) can affect whether server-side-includes
are allowed?

[ about making his index page server-side included ]

That is what we all want, but we don't want to parse
every file, which seems like the alternative.

I found, on httpd, that this worked :-

AddType text/x-server-parsed-html .stml
AddType text/x-server-parsed-html .stm
AddType text/x-server-parsed-html index.html

Which special-cased a file called (ending in) index.html.

Cheers,    Andy!
