The include file '../include/inc_security.inc' was not found. 1

Hi there,

For some reasons the default.asp page cannot find these 2 files even though these files are in the right location.

<!-- #INCLUDE FILE="../include/inc_header.inc"-->
<!-- #INCLUDE FILE="../include/inc_footer.inc"-->

The inc_header.inc and inc_footer.inc are in the include folder.

default.asp is in root folder
include folder is in root folder
2 .inc file are in include folder.

Thank you in advance.

The '..' is asking to go up a level. If you are already in your root, you can't go up!

Try:

<!-- #INCLUDE FILE="include/inc_header.inc"-->

If John's advice does not resolve your problem, then you may want to consider this...

<!-- #INCLUDE [!]VIRTUAL[/!]="../include/inc_header.inc"-->

btw... by default, anyone browsing to that file (an easy one to guess) will be able to see all the source code in there due to the file extension - would that be ok ?

Simply change it to .asp instead of .inc and ensure the code is wrapped inside the usual <% %> tags, and that will solve the issue. Or you can configure IIS not to serve files with these extensions.. but it's easier just to change the extension.

You also can check if you have Enable Parent Paths if you use it on IIS 6. That's the usual problem with asp on IIS 6, you dont have access to ".." parent.
Check on Home Directory -> Configuration -> Options.

There are considerable security concerns with allowing access to parent paths.
