Question

Is there a way I can include include files inside include files? (Say that five times fast!)

For example:

Inside index.html:

<!--#include virtual='/include-1.shtml'--> 

Inside include1.shtml:

<!--#include virtual='/include-2.shtml'--> 

So the tree looks like this: index.html <– include_1.shtml <– include_2.shtml

As is, this is not working on my Apache. The first include works fine, but the content for the nested include doesn’t display.

As it is relevant, I am using the XBitHack on Apache 2, and I’ve double checked that both files are executable by the web user.

Help?

Make sure that Apache is actually trying to process the *.shtml files. Try putting

<!--#echo var='DATE_LOCAL' --> 

in a *.shtml file and seeing if you get the expected results. Do you get the same result in a *.html file? If you don’t see the dates in both, your configuration is off.
