KB / Account Control Panel / Goodies :: Htaccess / WebDAV / WebDAV / SSI Problem - Solution

From DreamHost

Here's the solution that we came up with to work around WebDAV parsing SSI on download... Assuming that you want SSI activated in the www.mysite.com/mydir/ directory for browsers but not for WebDAV users:

1. Set up a fully hosted subdomain for your source such as src.mysite.com
2. Create a directory under ~/src.mysite.com/mydir/
3. Create a symlink ~/mysite.com/mydir --> ~/src.mysite.com/mydir/
4. Create a .htaccess file in ~/mysite.com to enable SSI
5. Activate WebDAV on src.mysite.com/mydir

Now your web content folks can use WebDAV to update the contents of mydir without breaking includes.
