Topic: Problems with SSI

[Doveman]

I use ssi include to execute miva compile scripts within my html. A typical line looks like this: <!--#include virtual="mn/v11_idxpages.mvc?index" -->
This worked well under previous versions of apache but on apache2 ver 2.2 I get the error message:
Content Encoding Error
The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because it uses an invalid or unsupported form of compression.

I know that includes are working because if I remove that line all the other includes directives execute correctly using both .shtml or XbitHack of html.
Also perl scripts execute just fine within the virtual statement.

The miva scripts run correctly when executed through a browser.

My http.conf entries look like this:

AddType text/html .htm
AddOutputFilter INCLUDES .htm
AddType text/html .shtml
AddOutputFilter INCLUDES .shtml
AddType application/x-miva-compiled .mvc
Action application/x-miva-compiled /cgi-bin/mivavm
Options ExecCGI Includes
XBitHack on

Any ideas where to look?

Thanks

Which apache version did you use before? Do you load a module that executes the scripts?

[Doveman]

Thanks for the reply.
The previous version of Apache was 1.3.33. The module that is loaded at execution time is mivavm *Miva Virtual Machine" version 5.04. Miva is a compiled xml based script which has to have the mivavm executable present to run. It runs fine in normal mode but not as an ssi. In the http.conf under my virtual host I added the lines:
AddType application/x-miva-compiled .mvc
Action application/x-miva-compiled /cgi-bin/mivavm

Thanks again for your help.

I think the module needs to recompiled against apache 2.2, cause 1.3 modules will never load into apache 2. It that open source?
