[users@httpd] Apache2 - SSI - If-else-/if syntax and some directives issues
Hi folks
I need some help, in few words, I'm migrating a website from a old server to a new Amazon-Ec2 instance. The Old server is a FreeBSD 6.0-RELEASE (MEERMINIMAL) / apache 2.2.4, while the new server is a EC2-Instance, Ubuntu 13.04 (GNU/Linux 3.8.0-19-generic x86_64) / apache 2.2.22
The issue is as follow, in the ec2-instance, the server is not resolving some directives, here more detail:
Do you know about this syntax in a html page? this is in the index.html
<!-- IF <!-- USER: User_ID --> > 0 -->
<div id="register-box"><h2>Membership Active</h2>
<p>Thank for becoming a member. You are currently logged in.</p>
<p>As a member, this site offers you additional features
such as setting up search "Favorites" and having notices emailed to you
each morning.</p>
</div>
<!-- ELSE -->
<!--#include virtual="/_inc_html/register.html" -->
<!-- /IF -->
I'm referring to the IF ELSE sentence
The SSI module (mod_include) was enabled, and it's working fine because other
<!--#includes .... are resolved by the server, but this 'IF' syntax is
different from SSI documented version:
<!--#if expr="test_condition" -->
...
<!--#elif expr="test_condition" -->
...
<!--#else -->
...
<!--#endif -->
The issue is that the IF / ELSE is not resolved by the server and the
website show always both section. I have several of this IF/ELSE instructions in the website
Additionally to the IF/ELSE syntax, and probably the most important issue, since I can change the IF sintaxt, it's about some variables. Do you have some ideas how the server resolve this line:
<!-- USER: User_ID -->
Now please take a look on this:
<tr>
<td colspan="2" class="on"><p><b>Newspaper of Origin</b></p>
<SELECT name="Paper_ID">
<option VALUE="0" SELECTED>Any Newspaper</option>
<!-- PAPER_LIST --><OPTION value="<!-- LIST: Paper_ID -->"> <!-- LIST: Paper_Name --><!-- /PAPER_LIST --></select></td>
</tr>
In the current production server, those lines, populates a combo list with the availables Newspapers (a table in the database), but again I wonder how the server resolve this code:
<!-- PAPER_LIST -->
<!-- LIST: Paper_ID -->
<!-- LIST: Paper_Name -->
<!-- /PAPER_LIST -->
The thing is that, those lines, in the new ec2 instances are coming to the client as Comments, because the server can not resolve it.
Thanks for your help.
PD: there is a bunch of CGI or Perl Script in the server doing the background work

[users@httpd] Fwd: Apache2 - SSI - If-else-/if syntax and some directives issues
Posted by Freddy Cruz <fc...@agssa.net>.
Hi Folks
Never mind, I have solved the issue...
It was related to the perl scripts. The CGI programs (in pl files) are
doing this jobs. It was only necessary activate the action-module in
apache, set-up correctly the cgi-bin folder and nothing more...
Thanks
Freddy
