I have headers and footers on all of my pages so I want to enable .html but it doesn't seem to work.... I put 'Includes' in my user config file and in the main httpd.conf file. Some notes about my installation, I am not using CGIs. I am using Tomcat to serve .jsp pages (yes I have includes in these pages too) and have moved my root directory to: DocumentRoot "/usr/local/jakarta-tomcat-4.0.1/webapps" The error I get is: The requested URL /PCW/Index.html was not found on this server. I have tried renaming Index.html to Index.shtml but no love.

Showing messages 1 through 7 of 7.

  If you want .html files to be parsed for SSI's, then modify this line in your httpd.conf file:
  
  AddHandler server-parsed .shtml
  
  And make it:
  
  AddHandler server-parsed .shtml .html
  
  Then restart the server, and you should be set.

  Didn't work....is it possible that the problem is that Apache is passing these pages onto tomcat? I should also note that since I am not using CGI I did NOT follow the CGI steps earlier. Here are what I *think* the important config lines that I've modified:
  
  RewriteEngine on
  RewriteRule ^/(.*)$ /PCW/$1 [R]
  
  ServerName localhost
  
  DocumentRoot "/usr/local/jakarta-tomcat-4.0.1/webapps/PCW/"
  
  <Directory />
  Options Includes FollowSymLinks
  AllowOverride None
  </Directory>
  
  <Directory "/usr/local/jakarta-tomcat-4.0.1/webapps/PCW/">
  Options Includes Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
  
  *** This is unchanged:
  <Directory "/Library/WebServer/CGI-Executables">
  AllowOverride None
  Options None
  Order allow,deny
  Allow from all
  </Directory>
  
  *** These are the Tomcat config lines:
  WebAppConnection warpConnection warp localhost:8008
  WebAppDeploy examples warpConnection /examples/
  
  WebAppConnection PCWConn warp localhost:8008
  WebAppDeploy PCW PCWConn /PCW/
  
  *** my users config files include the following:
  
  <Directory "/Users/storme/Sites/">
  Options Includes Indexes MultiViews
  AllowOverride None
  Order allow,deny
  Allow from all
  </Directory>
  
  <Directory "/usr/local/jakarta-tomcat-4.0.1/webapps/PCW/">
  Options Includes Indexes MultiViews
  AllowOverride None
  Order allow,deny
  Allow from all
  </Directory>
  
  <Directory "/Users/webserve/Sites/">
  Options Includes Indexes MultiViews
  AllowOverride None
  Order allow,deny
  Allow from all
  </Directory>

  I've not used Tomcat before, so I can't shed any insight on whether Tomcat is doing any of the processing.
  
  Where is this "index.html" page that you want to load? I ask because in your first message, you mention that you set the DocumentRoot to /webapps/, so I was assuming you had an index.html in there. But, with the above configuration, anything in /webapps/ is autoredirected to /webapps/PCW/ with these lines:
  
  RewriteEngine on
  RewriteRule ^/(.*)$ /PCW/$1 [R]
  
  If that's your intention - is there a /webapps/PCW/index.html in there?

  Yes. Everything works until I enable the lines:
  
  AddType text/html .html
  AddHandler server-parsed .html
  
  which produces the error I mentioned above. Tomcat is supposed to serve any page with a .jsp suffix and Apache anything with .html so I wouldn't think that Tomcat has anything to do with it in this case but thought I should mention it. Note that since I'm not using CGIs (I think!) I didn't follow the CGI steps earlier in the article - a problem do you think?

  No, not following the CGI instructions would have nothing to do with it. Instead of doing the two lines you just gave me, why not just modify your existing AddHandler line to include .html? So, instead of the above, search for your:
  
  AddHandler server-parsed .shtml
  
  And change to:
  
  AddHandler server-parsed .shtml .html

  tried both - does the include change any paths ? Really very odd.

  forgot one:
  
  AddType text/html .shtml
  AddHandler server-parsed .shtml .html
  
  I've also tried just this:
  
  AddType text/html .html
  AddHandler server-parsed .html
