Greetings,

I am trying to use SSI  on subdomains but keep getting this message: [an error occurred while processing this directive]

Basically, I try to call a file from a subdomain to root using this syntax:
Code:
<!--#include virtual="../file.php" -->

It doesn't work...

Sorry that I used the dedicated forum but since I am a dedicated client, I seized the privilege.
Thanks,
George

Hi George,

Could you please specify the type of control panel on your server?

Hello Perestrelka,

I have WHM and cPanel.

No rush actually as it's for an upcoming project.

I can't get it to work and also tried:
<!--#include virtual="/home/myname/public_html/file.etc" -->

Hi,

I just tested and ssi works for me on a subdomain without any configuration adjustments. Please bear in mind the "virtual" argument is used to begin the search for files from the root folder of your webserver.  So if you uploaded a file into /home/username/public_html/subdomain/file.txt, the correct ssi command will be:

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

I hope this is helpful.

Hi Perestrelka,

What I am trying to accomplish is to include a file placed in a root folder to a subdomain.

So I want a file placed in  /home/username/public_html/folder/file.txt to be included in:
 /home/username/public_html/subdomain/index.shtml using SSI

I tried numerous ways and didn't work.

Unfortunately, you can't do what you want. The "virtual" attribute should specify a URL relative to the document being served. It can start with a /, but must be on the same server as the file being served. You would use the "virtual" argument if the file you are calling for is located in a position requiring an address starting at the server root. It is not possible to include a file which is not located within the subdomain's root folder.
