server side includes - bazookaman - 12-03-2009
are server side includes platform dependent? In other words will they work as well on a unix box as they would on a windows server? it seems I've had them working equally as well on both flavors without a hitch, but I've got some tech support weanie claiming that since I'm using includes I need to be using their windows server.

I dont understand, if your SSI's work on unix, why do you need to use their windows server?

I've run into issues with it. Namely with newer versions of IIS. Technically you should be able to get IIS to honor them correctly, but chances are by default they may not work.
But in Apache, they should work fine. What's the exact format you're using?

SSI are mainly an Apache thing.
Apache runs on Windows, but nobody really sets up a Windows server to serve sites with Apache.
So I am flummoxed.
In other news, people still use SSI?

includes are not working on the unix server so i emailed tech support. they said the includes were NOT working b/c it was a unix server and that i needed to be set up on a windows server. thats all. just curious.
and what would you use besides includes? I use them ALL the time. Is that bad?

Why would this be platform-specific?
You're probably dealing with a moron, or a Windows zealot.

Exactly. Thats why I was wondering.
