Running Server Side Includes with Web Sharing

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Mac Troubleshooting : One Thread

I have set up Web Sharing so I can run my Mac as a standalone server and test CGI scripts (using MacPerl) before putting them online (a cost saving solution that doesn't upset my ISP as much either). The problem I have is that the Web Sharing software is currently ignoring any Server Side Includes embedded in the HTML pages. I assume that this is down to the 'action' settings in the Web Sharing perferences, but I don't have any idea where to start, and the options are too many and too varied to try a 'suck it and see' approach. Does anyone have any ideas how to configure Web Sharing so that it will process my SSI's? Any hints on the correct pathnames would be appreciated too. Many thanks,
