yes, but "It doesn't work" doesn't tell us anything that we can use to troubleshoot.

we need examples, listings, etc.

<!--#exec cgi="ads.pl"-->
and build pages this comes up, but the rest of the page is built:

the url is http://daffyduck77.hypermart.net/megalinks

I need to see the code with that SSI called placed in it.

Also, the error message means you have a webadverts problem.

Do you have webadverts running already on your site?

Try changing your ssi command to <!--#exec cgi="/ads/ads.pl"-->.

Re: WebAdverts In reply to
first, get webadverts running before trying to incorporate it into links.

second:

Quote:
<!--#exec cgi="http://daffyduck77.hypermart.net/ads/ads.pl"-->

You cannot have a url in there. it has to be an absolute path to your directory.

Fudgenut,
If u use hypermart
your SSI call should be
Quote:
<!--#include virtual="/ads/ads.cgi"-->

instead of
Quote:
<!--#exec cgi="/ads/ads.pl"-->
