If your system uses Linux and not UNIX, type "man crontab" instead of "man cron" to get an explanation. Or take a look in the Resource Center for the FAQ I wrote on setting up cron events for nph-build.cgi located at http://www.gossamer-threads.com/...es/Detailed/244.html

While the FAQ is for auto-rebuilding of pages, the guidelines within it apply to setting up any cron event.

I hope this helps

check your error logs.. if not then use

<!--#include virtual="/cgibin/blah/siteofday.txt"-->

Thanks, Jerry, for the suggestion. It worked.
Yet, I did find some other alternatives:

1) Create a sub-routine in the site_html_templates.pl called sub siteday and create a global variable, siteday.

2) Use a header/footer cgi program and reference the siteday.txt file.

So, there is more than one way to skin a cat.

The Site of the Day Mod works for me with the exception of the SSI call. I have used a variety of include statements, including the following:

(Placing the file in my homepage directory.)


(Placing the file in my LINKS cgibin directory.)


(Placing the file in my LINKS ADMIN cgibin directory.)


I keep getting this error message:


(BTW: I have my own cgibin, so that it is why it is cgibin and not cgi-bin. So, that is not the problem.)

I looked at my ISP's tech pages on using SSI and also thoroughly read all the web pages related to include statements on the Apache site. I also contacted my ISP tech support line, which their reaction was:


Any ideas about how I can get this to work?

Thanks in advance.
