Include Virtual not working correctly in Apache 2.2

Hello

Is the directory index set correctly in your conf?

DirectoryIndex index.html

This also for php.

DirectoryIndex index.html index.php

DirectoryIndex is set correctly and loading http://www.domain.com/test/ results in the correct index being displayed.

I should add:

<!--#include virtual="/test/"--> - doesn't work
<!--#include virtual="/test/index.html"--> - works fine

The problem appears to be with your particular install and not Apache2 in general.  I was able to test out your scenario on my install (Apache2 and PHP5 running on XP) and it worked as expected.  Can you post your httpd.conf file?

I did and worked too.

I've been testing this in /var/www/html/ but have also tested in /home/

The only thing that pops out at me in the http.conf file is that you're loading php5_module twice.  I'm pretty sure this isn't the culprit though.  Nothing else in this file indicates a problem.  I tried to replicate the issue with my install and I couldn't.  This file does load other external files that may have information that could lead you to the answer.  The file says that you shouldn't modify those files directly:

# Do not change anything in included files, because they are rewritten by DirectAdmin #

I'm not familiar with DirectAdmin....

Could you please post also the includes, because there must be some missconfig there, since i tryed with a Redhat server and also with windows and everything worked fine.

Also as i understand you're in a production server isn't?

Thanks for the comment darron_chapman.  I did take that extra call to php5 out but as you expected it didn't have any effect.

I was able to do further troubleshooting and it appears the problem lies in the mod_deflate config.  I started commenting the includes out one by one and found that everything works when mod_deflate is disabled.  Here's what that conf looks like:

   1.
      #
   2.
      # Required modules: mod_deflate
   3.
      #

      # for further details before you try to setup deflate module.
