Renaming index.html to index.shtml

Jel · 2006-01-11, 12:29 PM

I have a bunch of pages in directories that are the default index.html but want to change them to index.shtml so I can use virtual includes. Is this likely to cause problems with SES in regards to both the indexed pages and backlinks?

They are the indexes of each directory on my LL and as far as I am aware no-one uses domain/dir/index.html when linking to my categories, just the domain/dir/ so I am wildly guessing there shouldn't be too much of a problem, but an educated guess tells me I will run into problems if I just blindly go and rename each index .shtml - how can I make these changes without fucking evrything up, if it is at all possible to change in the first instance.

Many thanks in advance

Thanks Max,

Just about to hit the sack here, so apologies if you see this and I don't answer until tomorrow - what does that post mean? That I can add that to my root htaccess and just use the  on my html page and it will work?

Yup...I use includes for a number of things...and have all straight html files

Well then that pretty much rocks

Thanks Max & Mr Yum, and Sparky for the original post

Hmm, that doesn't work for me, I have

RemoveHandler .html .htm
AddHandler server-parsed .shtml .html
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .htm .html

in my root htaccess file but can't get the command



to appear on my pages, what dumbass thing am I doing wrong, any ideas?

TIA

Wot dis?

RemoveHandler .html .htm

Wazza · 2006-01-18, 08:14 AM

Would appear to me, on a very quick read, to be an incorrect use of RemoveHandler

Shouldn't it go in a child directory's htaccess to stop html files from there on being parsed?

Try

MrYum · 2006-01-18, 09:49 AM

I dunno Toby...just checked and the syntax he's using is exactly what I use on ssi calls

I'm inclined to agree that it's something in your htaccess. Here's the first 3 lines from one of mine...give it a shot Jel...and I'd completely take out the Removehandler...

RewriteEngine on
AddHandler server-parsed .html
Options -Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes

That may not be the problem in this case, I just know that I've had issues using "virtual=" before and changing to "file=" solved my problem.

Thanks Guys,

Removehandler was the problem
