Ok, I'm trying to use SSI on my site. It used to all work fine on my old server, but now I am moving to a new one which has Gimp install (image editing software, that can interact with Perl). The problem I am having is the following.

I am trying to include files into it (for menus, random 88x31 banners etc). I have tried 3 variations of the code, and none of them work

I've tried the following for the static menu file;

<!--#include virtual="/newincludes/copyright.txt"-->

and

<!--#include virtual="newincludes/copyright.txt"-->

and

<!--#include virtual="/home/templates.ws/public_html/newincludes/copyright.txt"-->

and

<!--#include virtual="home/templates.ws/public_html/newincludes/copyright.txt"-->

Any other ideas?

Thanks

Use &amplt; for the opening bracket so we can see the code :)

Anyone? This is all that is stopping me from moving over to my new host, and closing my old account down

Not meaning to be rude, but is SSI enabled? Have you put .htaccess files in those directories to make sure that SSI is enabled. Maybe you can only have SSI on files with a certain extension on your new server?

The file definitely ends with .shtml right?

Yeah, I have. Otherwise I wouldn't get the errors showing up saying the directive could not be completed properly

Ok can you paste the path to the .shtml file and the path to the include because there is a big difference between

include="bla/include.txt"

and

include="/bla/include.txt"

If using include bla/filename.txt in my public_html folder (the root of the site) it works fine! IF I try and do it any further up the folder list it just gives me errors! Im sure I have tried almost everything possible. The most annoying thing is that it DOES work on the normal page, just not in these directories, which Links 2 builds

Paul, I'll PM you the username and password to access the admin page, so you can see what code I am using for the category.html templates. I have to get off to work now, otherwise I would just post the code here

Thanks

If you have a structure like:

public_html/links2/pages/index.shtml
public_html/bla/include.txt

.....then using

include virtual="bla/include.txt"

within a file in public_html will work, but if using a file such as index.shtml in the pages directory, you'd need

include virtual="/bla/include.txt"

Fixed it
