Apache2 no SSI on Osuse 10.3

So far I’ve been unsuccessful in making Apache2 on openSUSE 10.3 to produce pages with SSI includes. It may also be affecting perl, and php scripting. These are not fancy pages, just pages with simple includes. it acts like it’s not reading the .htaccess file as well.

Here are some of my conf files. just to show that I’ve try what I’ve read from other posts which have not resolved the issue.

default-server.conf

Global configuration that will be applicable for all virtual hosts, unless

deleted here, or overriden elswhere.

DocumentRoot “/srv/www/htdocs”

Configure the DocumentRoot

<Directory “/srv/www/htdocs”>
# Possible values for the Options directive are “None”, “All”,
# or any combination of:
# Indexes Includes FollowSymLinks SymLinksifOwnerMatch ExecCGI MultiViews
#
# Note that “MultiViews” must be named explicitly — “Options All”
# doesn’t give it to you.
#
# The Options directive is both complicated and important. Please see
# http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.2/mod/core.html#options
# for more information.
Options Indexes Includes FollowSymLinks SymLinksifOwnerMatch ExecCGI MultiViews
# AllowOverride controls what directives may be placed in .htaccess files.
# It can be “All”, “None”, or any combination of the keywords:
# Options FileInfo AuthConfig Limit
AllowOverride All
# Controls who can get stuff from this server.
Order allow,deny
Allow from all

</Directory>

Aliases: aliases can be added as needed (with no limit). The format is

Alias fakename realname

Note that if you include a trailing / on fakename then the server will

require it to be present in the URL. So “/icons” isn’t aliased in this

example, only “/icons/”. If the fakename is slash-terminated, then the

realname must also be slash terminated, and if the fakename omits the

trailing slash, the realname must also omit it.

We include the /icons/ alias for FancyIndexed directory listings. If you

do not use FancyIndexing, you may comment this out.

Alias /icons/ “/usr/share/apache2/icons/”

<Directory “/usr/share/apache2/icons”>
Options Indexes MultiViews
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>

ScriptAlias: This controls which directories contain server scripts.

ScriptAliases are essentially the same as Aliases, except that

documents in the realname directory are treated as applications and

run by the server when requested rather than as documents sent to the client.

The same rules about trailing “/” apply to ScriptAlias directives as to

Alias.

ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ “/srv/www/cgi-bin/”

“/srv/www/cgi-bin” should be changed to whatever your ScriptAliased

CGI directory exists, if you have that configured.

<Directory “/srv/www/cgi-bin”>
AllowOverride None
Options +ExecCGI -Includes
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>

UserDir: The name of the directory that is appended onto a user’s home

directory if a ~user request is received.

To disable it, simply remove userdir from the list of modules in APACHE_MODULES

in /etc/sysconfig/apache2.

<IfModule mod_userdir.c>
# Note that the name of the user directory (“public_html”) cannot simply be
# changed here, since it is a compile time setting. The apache package
# would have to be rebuilt. You could work around by deleting
# /usr/sbin/suexec, but then all scripts from the directories would be
# executed with the UID of the webserver.
UserDir public_html
# The actual configuration of the directory is in
# /etc/apache2/mod_userdir.conf.
Include /etc/apache2/mod_userdir.conf
</IfModule>

Include all *.conf files from /etc/apache2/conf.d/.

This is mostly meant as a place for other RPM packages to drop in their

configuration snippet.

You can comment this out here if you want those bits include only in a

certain virtual host, but not here.

Include /etc/apache2/conf.d/*.conf

The manual… if it is installed (’?’ means it won’t complain)

Include /etc/apache2/conf.d/apache2-manual?conf
ServerName whein.no-ip.com
ServerAdmin wj3g@comcast.net

.htaccess

Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes +ExecCGI
AddType application/x-httpd-cgi .cgi
AddType text/x-server-parsed-html .html

Is there something I’m missing?

Any Help woould be greatly appreciated.

I wound up answering my own question!

My problems were my own creation. Mostly from migrating from Apache 1.x to 2.2. Turns out that some of the semantics changed between versions, which is what was causing my problem. Primarily around the Includes, Options, and .htaccess.

Moral of the story, look closely at the new docs if your upgrading.

I’m having a similar problem with openSUSE 11.1

All the modules have been installed from scratch, including Apache and perl, yet when I access a pl from a browser all I get is “what do you want to do with this file”. I checked the mime.types and pl is there as an app type, so why won’t apache serve it up correctly?
