Server Side Include

I have a small problem.

I cannot get includes to work under the apache ssl.
here is a test:

http://www.ranchomirage.org
https://www.ranchomirage.org

The menu and footer includes which are such as:
<!--#include virtual="/inc/footer.html" -->

does not work with the apache-ssl

It is a minor problem as I worked around it but it would be nice to enable such.

can anyone help?

This is what my conf for this domain is in apache-ssl
What am I doing wrong?

<VirtualHost 63.68.165.133>
ServerName www.ranchomirage.org
ServerAlias www.ranchomirage.org
DocumentRoot /home/sites/ranchomirage.org
ErrorLog /home/logs/error_ranchomirage.org.ssl.log

1) You are missing a <Directory "/home/sites/ranchomirage.org">

2) Your line Options All MultiViews ExecCGI Includes should go within <Directory "/home/sites/ranchomirage.org">. A <Directory> block can also go within a <VirtualHost> block.

3) Your line Options All MultiViews ExecCGI Includes really should be: Options All MultiViews instead because All covers ExecCGI and Includes.

4) Your line ServerAlias www.ranchomirage.org is really useless there. First, you don't put a ServerAlias exactly the same as your default ServerName www.ranchomirage.org. Second, you seem to be using Name-based vhost configuration, your SSL site can only be www.ranchomirage.org. That said, using https://ranchomirage.org will give you the same site www.ranchomirage.org, but you will see tons of error as well as cn mismatch error because accessing to your secure site via https://ranchomirage.org in your configuration violates SSL standard. Check the recent thread in Apache message to find out why -> http://forums.devshed.com/showthrea...7358&forumid=15

5) Your line ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /home/sites/ranchomirage.org/cgi-bin/. This is not a personal preference, the purpose of ScriptAlias of Alias is for mapping path not within your docroot. You cgi-bin obviously is under your docroot. It somehow defeat the security purpose of ScriptAlias.

BTW, what is your default docroot? You may try <!--#include file="inc/footer.html" -->, which takes the relative path of your current html document. include virtual takes the URL path from the top.
