273769 - SSI + MultiViews doesn't work

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

As you can see here:
<http://doctor.mozilla.org/?file=mozilla-org/html/projects/help-viewer/.htaccess>
both SSI and MultiViews are enabled:

# Options +Includes +MultiViews

According to that and my knowledge (and other people too, by the way) the
following should work:
<http://www.mozilla.org/projects/help-viewer/documentation>. However, it only
works when you add the extension.

You need to "ForceType server-parsed" on files that have SSI in them and give
them an .html suffix instead of .shtml.  The MultiViews stuff is negotiating
content-type, and "shtml" is not in the list of accepted types the browser
sends, so Apache doesn't offer it as a choice.

Stick this in the .htaccess file:

<FilesMatch ^index\.html$>
  ForceType server-parsed
</FilesMatch>

Sorry, wrong command, you want SetHandler, not ForceType.  Try this one:

<FilesMatch ^index\.html$>
  SetHandler server-parsed
</FilesMatch>

Comment 3

[Dave Miller [:justdave]]

and if you have different language versions, fix the regexp to match what the
files are actually called :)

Comment 4

Is there a regexp or something simpler to let all files in a certain directory
(and deeper) be server side parsed? Especially for the pages where this is a
problem at the moment that would be more helpful.

Comment 5

[Steffen Wilberg]

fixed by adding "AddType text/html .shtml" to the .htaccess file.

Nice!
