Can't get Apache to do SSI

[debiandude]

OK I have Apache 1.3.9 with Debian 2.3. I have a file in /usr/lib/cgi-bin called poll.pl. It is basically a poll script and the script is working.

I want to include the script via SSI in to a webpage. So I do this:
<!--#exec cgi="/cgi-bin/poll.pl" -->

Yet when I load the page I see nothing still. BTW the page is noted to be a shtml not a html file in case you were wondering.

What files does I need to edit to get SSI working. THanks in advance.

Well, if you don't see the SSI tags and source in the page, then SSI is working properly, your just using the wrong tags. Sometimes the "exec cgi=" tag doesn't work the way you'd expect it. Try using "include file=" or go look up the SSI options at Apache.org (http://www.apache.org). :D

I feel quite stupid. I went looking in /etc/apache/httpd.conf to see again. And then I was looking in the modules section and the includes module is commented out. So I unhashed it and restarted apache. It works fine now. Now everyone can vote what OS they use on http://technologyreview.org
