I have been aware of Abyss for a while now but have only just started using the free version because I am developing a site that makes extensive use of SSI and ASPand Abyss makes managing both easy. That apart, I really do like the way it works, is administered... . The question I have is this

a. I am serving up a page, Differ.stm, subjected to SSI from a virtual directory called "Hidden".

b. In building that file using SSI I use the directive <!--#include virtual="includes/logo.html" --> which refers to another virtual directory "Includes".

c. For convenience during testing both the virtual directories actually point to subdirectories inside another virtual directory, "Website" which is where I store the Index.stm page.

The problem I have - Abyss does not appear to be able to process the SSI directive (b. above) inside Differ.stm. What am I doing wrong? I would much appreciate any help.[/list][/list]

SSI can be a little tricky. A virtual path ought to start with a slash. Here's your example.
<!--#include virtual="/includes/logo.html" -->

Are you trying to use SSI nesting? (Trying to use SSI in an included file) That doesn't work.

What do you mean exactly by "Abyss is not able to process the SSI directive": do you get an error message or is it simply ignored? Are other SSI directives working fine? (try using <!--#printenv --> for example).

The starting solidus did the trick - I mean I just had to do /includes/logo.stm etc and it works just fine. Thank you very much!
