SSI code in cgi-bin files 4

[JennyW]

Hi!

Is it possible to use SSI code in .txt files that are inside the cgi-bin?

I'm having a lot of problems doing this.
I use the following code without success:

<!--#include virtual=&quot;../scripts/ssi/template.txt&quot; -->

Thanks,
Jenny

Yes.

What server are you hosted on. Some servers will not allow certain functions to be carried out on files within the cgi-bin. I have seen servers that will not let you browse to a html file with in the cgi-bin. This situation is host specific I am affraid. You host may be of more value in answering this question.

in the httpd.conf:
<Directory /bla/bla/bla/cgi-bin>
...
Options Includes
...
</Directory>

Hi,

What's a httpd.conf: file?

httpd.conf is the main configuration file for apache servers. //Daniel

httpd.conf only available to access if you own your server, have a dedicated server... if you run on virtual server, you will never have access to it...

If you have DSL or cable, turn your comp into a server by download apache and install it... Play with httpd.conf and you will know

just a suggestion

Hi,

Yeah, I'm not really interested in turning my PC in to a server. I just want to have my site up on a hosts server.

I still can't seem to figure out how to use SSI from my cgi-bin to call .txt files from outside of my cgi-bin.

Does anyone know?

Thanks for reading,
Jenny

you may ask admin of your server to configure it for you.

there is Apache ver's in which all virtual servers has own httpd.conf
