Apache Include Directive

[TecBrat]

This link:

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/core.html#include

 

shows that apache allows files to be included in it's configure files, but it did not work when I tried it in .htaccess.  Does anyone know if it's supposed to?

 

In one site I put this in .htaccess:

Include /home/test/public_html/dynamic/dyn_htaccess.inc

 

in the test account's public_html/dynamic directory, I put a dyn_htaccess.inc file with this content:

ErrorDocument 404 /home/test/public_html/404_error.php

 

I verified that 404_error.php exists in the specified path but when I accessed the account where I put the include directive in .htaccess, I got a 500 server error.

ErrorDocument 404 /home/test/public_html/404_error.php

 

This should be the file relative to the web url.

 

So it should just be 404_error.php

 

ErrorDocument 404 404_error.php

 

Which should work.

As simple check of the manual (http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/core.html#include) and you would have seen that the Include directive is only allowed within server config, virtual host and directory contexts.

 

So not, it does not work within a .htaccess file.
