Are SSI possible on Non-FrontPage sites??

Hello,

I wanted to know if it was possible to setup server side includes into a directory that doesn’t have FrontPage extensions installed on it and how? Everything I see on the web leads me to believe my include statements will still work, but they aren't...

Thanks!

Yes - SSI has nothing to do with Frontpage extensions.

What are you using to include your files? Are your main files with the proper extension?

I have renamed the files that contain the include statements to be .shtml the rest of my statements are plain .html
I am using the include statment: 
I have checked IIS and it is configured for SSI....

Thanks.

If you have renamed them to html then your include statement should be


And when you say directory (above) is ea_antos_matthew.html in the same folder?

No link and source code... it's an internal development server...
I will have the developer try the last one... making his include file a .inc...

Thanks!

Also make sure that SSI is enabled on the server as well

The server was enabled... first thing i checked :)
Turned out to be a problem with the file extensions needing to be .inc in this case.

Thanks!
