Setting up Server-Parsed HTML
HTML is normally sent to the client exactly as it exists on disk without any server
intervention. However, the server can search HTML files for special commands
(that is, it can parse the HTML) before sending documents. If you want the server
to parse these files and insert request-specific information or files into documents,
you must first enable HTML parsing.
To parse HTML, follow these steps:
From the Class Manager, click the Content Management tab.
1.
Click Parse HTML.
2.
Choose a resource for which the server will parse HTML.
3.
Choose Entire Server from the resource picker to apply your change to the
whole class, or navigate to the document root for a specific virtual server, or to
a specific directory or within a specific virtual server.
If you choose a directory, the server will parse HTML only when the server
receives a URL for that directory or any file in that directory.
Choose whether to activate server-parsed HTML.
4.
You can activate for HTML file s but not the exec tag, or for HTML files and the
exec tag, which allows HTML files to execute other programs on the server.
Choose which files to parse.
5.
You can choose whether to parse only files with the .shtml extension, or all
HTML files, which slows performance. If you are using Unix/Linux, you can
also choose to parse Unix/Linux files with the execute permission turned on,
though that can be unreliable.
Click OK.
