.ssi -- news on the front page

[mklein]

Okay, for some reason this .ssi command causes an error when processing.

I'm trying to run the following command on my front page:

<!--#include virtual="/folder/news.php" -->


This should go to the news.php page, which is full of updated news item from my message board, and then it should lay the items into my front page.

I've tried every path I can think of, including:

/home/domain/public_html/folder/news.php

/folder/news.php

/domain/public_html/folder/news.php

etc.



It worked fine for years on my old host, but for some reason I can't get this to run. Maybe it's because my DNS has not changed over yet, and I'm using the IP address from Insiderhosting. Am I missing something here?

Please post the error message.

I would suggest you try this, name your main page to index.php

and do:

<?php include("folder/news.php");?>

From the PHP manual:

"virtual() cannot be used to include a document which is itself a PHP file. "

Have you renamed the extension of the page with the SSI to .shtml? By default, the server will only parse those .shtml files as if they were SSI.
