SSI I think it's set up correctly... but no go

[cpenticuff]

Ok... first of all:

My apologies for posting another SSI question, there appear to be a million of them on here.

My situation is this, I have an include command inside of an .shtml file:

I havn't worked with shtml but arn't <!-- lines --> comment lines (html they are at least). If it is then thats like using "// include <stdio.h>" in C :P

int main() {
cout << "Im Pro Apache";
cin.get();
}

shtml is not different than html... the "s" is simply to notify the server to parse the file.

In a sense you are correct: <-- stuff --> tags are to indicate, but for some reason, someone chose to make server side includes fall within "comments"

The # tells the server to search for a command to execute, so it sees the include and considers it as a command... except in my case :(

I do see the humor in it though, if someone could explain to me why ssi's appear inside comments, that would be great as well.

Hello cpenticuff--

Please try your ssi with a white space after the intial:
<!--

so that the full include looks like this:

<!-- #include file="include.txt" -->

(as opposed to this: <!--#include file="include.txt" -->

Let us know if that works.

Regards,
Axis

Thanks for the suggestion... but still no luck.

I have just discovered (after much head-scratching) that
<!-- #include virtual='body.htm' -->
is different to
<!-- #include virtual="body.htm" -->


The former failed, the latter succeeded.

Does this help you ?
