I have 2 test articles in myh db and when I try to access them I get a blank screen with the other elements from the shtml file still showing up (no directive error). What might be going on? This same setup was copied and adjusted accordingly from another server where it works just fine.

The page is at http://www.austinsknack.com/news/index.shtml

Thanks!

Did you by chance move to server with a different operating system (i.e., Novell, NT, etc.) than the other server where you had this working?

If the SSI codes were working fine on the other server, it most likely means that the current server where you are having problems does not allow SSI calls or has to be called differently on their web pages.

I wish it were that easy...the funny thing is, the two sites I am talking about are both on the same server!

Well...what codes are you trying to use for the SSI codes??

Be more specific or provide copies of your html.pl and db.cgi as text files as links, so we can see them.

The SSI statement is as follows:

<!--#include virtual="http://www.austinsknack.com/cgi-bin/dbman/news
/db.cgi?db=default&uid=default&ID=*&sb=0&so=descend&mh=4&view_records=1&ssi=1"--
>

The actual file as I said before is at http://www.austinsknack.com/news/index.shtml.

If you click on the news mneu that shows up on this page you can confirm tha I actually do have 2 db entries.

The privileges allow for a "default" user to view articles.

I am not sure what else could be wrong since this is an exact copy of the entire dbman file set from one server to another...

Try using a relative path:

<!--#include virtual="../cgi-bin/dbman/news
/db.cgi?db=default&uid=default&ID=*&sb=0&so=descend&mh=4&view_records=1&ssi=1"--
>

Some hosts only allow relative paths for SSI.

Wishing you luck!
