I am quite new to Lunarpages. I do not know if it supports using SSI to include the header file and footer file. If so, is the syntax something like :

<!--Include Virtual="path/filename.html" -->

I tried this one but does not work. The system promps me error that it does not support ASP. I guess I have used the wrong syntax. Can anyone advise ???

Thanks

Definitely I am not using ASP.

Yes, I have used the filename extension shtml already. So anything wrong ? But I guess there is no need to make it executable.

I tried similar things in other web hosting service company and it works. But I know that every web hosting company handle the SSI differently (in term of restrictions and syntax) and I am not sure how Lunarpage handle this. That's the reason I came to ask here in the forum.

So any one can help?

the missing # might be the problem

 

code:

---

 <!--#include virtual="/html/rightcol.html" --> 

---

although lunar pages handles it differently, back in the old days we had to use .htaccess for ssi calls to files with just the html extension.

 

code:

---

 AddType text/x-server-parsed-html .html 

---

Another useful one for shtml is to use:

<!--#exec cgi="cgi-bin/yourfile.cgi" -->

This will execute and run a cgi script for you.

If you're deep into a folder and you want to go back in the root or somewhere else, it usually necessary to include the full path to your script also.

IE:
<!--#include file=" /home/yoursite/public_html/
yourfolder/yourfile"-->
