SSI & SHTML
OK I've never used SSI before so I guess this is more an SSI Question than a Links Question.
I changed the links.cfg to create shtml files instead of html. I built all and checked my directorys through telnet and they were all changed perfect but when I try to look at the page through Netscape I get 404 Not found or insucure. Same with IE.
Is there some type of MIME type I need to change? Someone please help.
Thanks
PS Awsome CGI Best I've ever seen.

First off.. simple, but often a cause of many hours of heartache.. Does your host allow SSI?

Second does if find the page but just show an error where the banner should be?

If so are you calling it up like this...

<!--#exec cgi="/cgi-bin/yourbannercgi.pl" -->

Did you delete the original .html files? I know when I switched ovet to .shtml I did not think to remove the old .html files and when i switched over the server used the .html files by default (Doubt it's that but wanted to bring it up)

I would assume the problem is as simple as you calling it up incorrectly or using the a directory other then where you script is...

Post any replys.. I will look again when i get outta bed :P If someone else to help ya first.

Well I haven't added any ssi calles yet.

I talked to my host master about a week ago and he said all I had to do was change the html files to shtml files and it would work.

Before a Built all I deleted every directory and html file Links created.

May it's my browsers. See if you get the same. http://www.metalook.com/index.shtml
